[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest is 10 and DH wants me to work full time. I don’t want to. Has anyone successfully changed a spouse’s mind on this? Our lifestyle is modest and I am not spendy. We have plenty of money. I just want to be there for the kids, keep the house organized and cook dinners in peace. Is that so bad?[/quote]

As a SAHM I thought it was harder as they became older. Mainly more needs with sports, friends, etc. I never planned to have a career per se, but I also made sure my partner knew being there for the kids was going to be a priority. I think you should have made that clear early on, but if you are financially ok then I don't see why you would have to change his mind. [/quote]

I have a 14-year old 8th grade boy and a soon to be 16-year old Sophomore boy.  By the time they hit middle school, it became SO MUCH easier.  You aren't arranging play dates, etc.  Mine make their own plans and do their own thing.  The older one stays after school for HS sports, I'm not driving all over the DMV for practices anymore.  He also will have his driver's license very soon.   They do a lot of chores that help the family out.[/quote]
