[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a good relationship with your spouse is more important than an Insta-worthy nursery. Babies need so little and it’s easy to get recs from new moms or online forums and buy everything on Amazon.

But yes, if you are physically unable to do your job and can’t get accommodations, that is a valid reason for quitting. Surprised your DH isn’t on board, especially if you can quickly get another job. What are his concerns?[/quote]

I don’t care about an insta-worthy nursery. Neither of us care about social media at all. We have bought nothing and haven’t done one thing to prepare for this baby. We need to get on it because we have only 2 months left. We just had my baby shower and we need start organizing it all.

I’m in near constant pain and it’s hard to do my job.

He doesn’t have any valid concerns other than worrying I will regret quitting my job and become bored.[b] I think he secretly is concerned I will never want to work again.[/b] We have ample means thanks to our saving and socking away my salary.

There is no room for secret feelings in a healthy relationship. You need to have an open conversation with your spouse. Pick a several-hour time period when you won’t be interrupted and lay it all out on the table. Brainstorm options and pros/cons. That is how my spouse and I make major decisions.

Putting the pain issue aside, is perfectly fine to want an easier/less-stressful lifestyle as a SAHM. You are lucky in that you have savings, and your profession allows you to return easily. But you need to convince your spouse to be on board. He may resent you forever if you act unilaterally.[/quote]
