When we were expecting our first child, my husband and I discussed whether I should remain at work or not. We both decided that I should stay home and until the 2nd child was born, I had the opportunity to work from home just because I enjoyed it but later, gave that up as well.
I wouldn’t take offense if my husband had asked me to quit because I hopefully would be aware of his intentions. I guess many women continue to work because they enjoy it not necessarily for the money alone. But then some of us prefer to stay home.
