[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] "Financially ok" can change as the kids grow older too. When they're little, college and retirement seem far off. Not so much when they're 10 and up.[/quote]
