[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s worried that you’ll be a SAHM forever. Unless one spouse is making a really high income or you have family money it’s going to be tight to run a household with 3 kids. [/quote]

OP here.
My mom was a SAHM. My dad was just middle class. They made it work. [/quote]

You can't really be this naive. Time are very different from when your parent were raising kids. [/quote]

In some ways, not in others. [/quote]

If you live in the DMV, a starter home is $1m. The cost of college is 80-90k. What you probably thought was a middle class lifestyle still requires $$$ now. Many families need both parent incomes. Staying home is a luxury not everyone can afford.

I would not end a relationship over this. I don’t think you have to lie about it but don’t fight about it with someone you aren’t even engaged to. When that baby is born, both of you will love that baby and want what is best for the baby. You can decide then what your plans are. [/quote]
