[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We talked about it a bit more. He said he sees a future with me and that having a parent (mom) home after kids is his preference but ultimately it would be up to the woman (me). We were talking about it in the abstract to get a little emotional distance from it (he's not proposing yet! lol) but it was obvious we were talking about each other.

After thinking about it some more, I think his position is reasonable. He's allowed to have a preference when it comes to raising his own kids. I said I would think about it some more. Maybe it is something I can get on board with. I *really* like this guy and think he could be the one.

He checks all of my boxes. It's just this one thing that threw me a bit.[/quote]

Op, I'm a SAHM now which is not something that I envisioned myself being when I was younger but it sure works for me and my family now.

You won't really know how you'll handle parenting until you are a parent.  Things that seem so off the table now may become distinct possibilities for you down the road.

Dh and I were together for years before we had kids.  We both worked, we contributed equally to the bills, we split household chores, etc.  When we found out we were expecting a baby it just seemed right at the time for me to quit working to SAH.  Dh and I did what worked best for our family.  You will, too.  And that is all you can promise anyone that you will do.
