[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend whose MIL judged her for NOT choosing to be a SAHM because that’s what she was. Her comment could be two fold, 1) it’s her lived experience to be ambitious and work so maybe she has opinions about SAHMs, and 2) maybe she’s worried about her son bearing the weight of your family’s finances on his own and she’s not certain it’s what her son wants. Your DH should talk to his mother and ask her what’s up and assure her he’s onboard with your current situation (assuming he is). [/quote] You’re not a SAHM when you don’t work and your kids are in school all day. You’re just a SAH and don’t want to work Mom. Your MIL is probably protective of her son who doesn’t have the luxury of just quitting his job and staying home. You shouldn’t have said it but her opinion isn’t wrong. If that were my DIL, I’d feel exactly the same way but I would never say it out loud. [/quote]
