[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this comment does not bode well. I wouldn't quit my job if my partner had even a hint of this attitude. You and he need to talk in more detail. I think there will be a big swing in the power dynamic if you quit working, and it will not be good for you.[/quote] +1. I think being a SAHM could end up adding a lot of stress to your relationship. Given what you would be contributing to the household as a SAHM (taking on the bulk of child care, cooking, cleaning, errands, etc) you are absolutely helping him be able to earn money outside the home. My parents had this dynamic - my mom stayed at home with us and dad had a "it's my money" attitude. Well, how would he be able to work outside the home if he had to do all the cooking and cleaning and take care of all three of his kids? He'd have to pay someone to do it, or not work. [/quote]
