[quote=Anonymous]OP, you really are making a mistake leaving work to SAHM. A crazy, crazy mistake because you and your DH aren't on the same page. He might be right -- with the loss of your income you might not be able to swing cable. But he is stone cold wrong to approach it the way he did.

My guess? He doesn't want this. He is resentful and is stressed about being the sole earner and worried about making ends meet. And he, like most guys, don't feel like they have much of a say in all of this.

It's a cross roads OP. Don't do this. Forget allowance. You will be getting a bit of child support, stuck working even more, and single parenting. Is that what you want?

Splash some cold water on your face and make a different plan. If you stupidly quit your job, make it clear that the SAHM is temporary and you are heading back to work the second your youngest is old enough for preschool. Go to night school online, do whatever it takes because this is a fatal mistake you are making.

I cannot tell you how much of a red zone this innocuous comment is. It's that drastic.[/quote]
