[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 6 months pregnant with our first child. I want to tell my husband that I am seriously considering quitting my job for a while to SAHM. I'm nervous about his reaction. We met in college and he's always known me as a hard working, ambitious person. But lately I've felt myself changing and not caring about work and promotions like I used to. I'm curious about what you thought if your wife went through something similar. FWIW, I'm not going to say that money is "no" issue but it's less of an issue. DH out earns me by a lot and makes enough to maintain a nice lifestyle in this area (he makes around $650-750k).

We talked about it once in the past and he said he'd be fine with whatever but [b]back then I used to scorn SAHMs and totally scoffed. So I'm also kind of eating crow here too.[/b][/quote]

That's what this is about.
You aren't nervous about your husband's reaction you're too prideful to admit that your attitudes and assessments prior to being a mother yourself were totally ignorant and unjustified.
Stay at home and try not to beat yourself up about how much of a judgemental jackass you used to be.[/quote]
