I currently work and have a wonderful salary but I'd like to be a stay at home wife and then transition to a SAHM. I really wouldn't mind getting up before my husband and children to make breakfast and lunch, clean the house, exercise, run errands, do a bit of charity work at the church and make dinner in time for my family.
Could someone who loves this lifestyle give me pointers on how you deal with this lifestyle currently? How did you meet your husband? I'd appreciate tips. This is not a troll post, please don't treat it as such. I.AM.DEAD.SERIOUS.
This is me, kinda sorta. We do have an every other week housecleaner. DH does do stuff aroun the house. I do more because I’m around more, but we each do our bit (same for the children).
This is what I did. I said when we were engaged, “I will never be a sahp. Ever.” Emphatically. Then we had a child and he was hospitalized for a week for RSV, part of that time in the ICU. I went part time and that worked. We had another child and at 8months he also was hospitalized for RSV for 8 days (also ICU). I stayed part IME, but he returned t the hospital two more times and almost 4 times over the course of the next year (RAD). I quit after the third hospitalization. He got better and I stayed home until he was in 1stgrade. I went back to work and fall of his second grade and host brother’s 4th grade, all hell broke loose. We found out elder’s issues seemed from ASD and younger was diagnosed with fairly severe dyslexia (he now has several other diagnoses). Stay quit again and have been home ever since. It has been a long slog and we have spent quite a bit more time, effort, and money on our children than we ever anticipated.
I am happy to say both are now in college and doing well. My career is gone. DH is planning on retiring in the next 3-5 years, not enough time to resurrect a career at this point.
Life has a way of changing up our plans.
