[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]more important than saving money - do you want to stay home? The phrasing of "my husband would really like me to become a stay at home mom" begs the question.[/quote]

It's also important that you discuss ahead of time that YOUR job will be to take care of your child while his is to bring in the money. It is YOUR money, not HIS.
You also need to let him know that at least once a week, you need some "You" time. Even if it's for an hour to get away from the baby and do something for yourself. Men will do this, yet they think that women don't need a break from the job (and don't kid yourself, it is a job.)

Make sure he helps with the baby, it will allow bonding. He needs to be able to change diapers and give the kid a bath in case you are out and there is an accident.

My DH HAD to change diapers when my first was born because I was bedridden for two weeks (complications.)

Make sure he is there in the delivery room as well.[/quote]
yikes
Marriage is supposed to be give and take for both
both take care of kid, both bring in money. But do not make the man into a maid.
some are not into changing diapers and despite this are great fathers[/quote]

:shock: Who is [i]into[/i] changing diapers?[/quote]
