[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go back to work part time and do something I really like. He would need to pick up household responsibilities based on how many hours you work. If you go back full-time, it is a 50/50% split on kids/household responsibilities and you will have to outsource the cleaning. Is he making you go back to work, because you're out of touch by being SAHM? Some women fall into this detachment from reality and stop growing as a person.[/quote]

Different poster but totally agree with this PP. We have a friend whose SAHM wife wants to keep their first house in our state even though they’re moving out of state for his work. That means two mortgages and she cannot help out financially at all. But she’s clueless about renting houses and finding tenants etc. so it would have made way more sense for them to just sell the first house. She’s definitely out of touch and hasn’t even offered to find work to help her husband out.[/quote]

Also want to add that their daughter is 32 so no childcare needs at home. She’s just used to a life of leisure.[/quote]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

If her daughter is 32 she should be retired. No way she should have to go to work unless she wants to.

Practice good money management, and perhaps someday you too can have that freedom.[/quote]

My idea of good money management is remaining childfree and saving for my own retirement, instead of depending on a man 😀. She should work if she wants the first house as a base. Where they live, it’s going to be a while before they can rent it because they have very specific ideas about the kind of tenant they want. But that’s not realistic to expect the best of tenants IME. She’s never worked and her husband has no financial freedom because of her. It’s sad. [/quote]
