[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your spouse is willing to bankroll the family from now on, then it sounds like you can afford to retire. I would recommend doing extra around the house and with the kids so your spouse values your role as a stay-at-home spouse. Most people who resent their unemployed partner feel they are being taken advantage of in some way, so if you make your spouse feel that you are taking extra care at home and with the kids, then it's a win for them too. [/quote] I agree. My kids became super-achievers at school once I became a SAHM and their journey from K-12 to college to work was super smooth. My DH takes a lot of pride in how our kids are thriving and how well-adjusted they are. My staying home was a huge win for our family and I took away a lot of things from my DH's plate. He encouraged me to also outsource what I could outsource. [/quote] Sounds completely made-up. And I stay home too, with a high achieving kid. She'd have done well in school no matter what, can't take any credit. [/quote]
