[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always knew I wanted to have a career. I met DH in college and he was 100% in my corner. After marriage and working for a number of years, we had DC1. I took a break and went back to work after 3 years. When DC2 was born, the logistics whupped our asses. DH was making a lot more than I was so there was really no need for my salary, and the fact that I wanted to pitch in helping around the house did not work well with his schedule.   DH's solution was "Please get whatever help is needed to help manage the house and the kids, because I do not have the time".  Since I had the finances available, I outsourced everything that I could. Until I realized that there was a limit to what could be outsourced, and that this was not the life I wanted for my kids and my family.

I still have outside help, but now I am a SAHM. My DH is beyond grateful that I am with the kids. He did not start off as wanting a SAHM because he thought it was selfish, but now, he is very relieved that he has one.

If I really insist that I want to go back to work, he will try and help me as much as he can, but he and I know that it will not be enough. He did not want a SAHM, but our family needed one. [/quote]
