[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I'm a SAH wife, and I never ask my husband for money. We have always had joint bank accounts and both will discuss if either of us wants to make a large purchase. This is no difference with that between the times I'm working and the times I'm not. I don't look at it as his money because having a SAHW allows him to be a better worker. He doesn't worry about dry-cleaning, laundry, dinner, housecleaning. All he has to do is go to work. He never has to leave early to pick up his car at the shop. He used to get phone calls from his mom during work, but now she can call me if she needs something. We live on less money, but we are very happy with this arrangement. Now, Saturdays involve just spending time together, not running errands when the stores are the most crowded. I don't worry about what will happen if he runs off. I supported myself before, and I would be able to again. However, this is not likely to happen because we have built our marriage in a way that we are both dependent on each other. It's probably not for everyone, but I love taking care of my husband, and he loves taking care of me. Of course, there are plenty of people online and in real life judging me for this. Do I care? Nope.[/quote] He's not bored with you?[/quote] If anything coming home and talking/complaining about work makes me boring to my husband. Not the pp but how does this question even make sense?[/quote][/quote] Not the PP either, and I'm a WOHM to boot, but I feel I would be a lot more interesting if I were able to pursue more interests outside of work, if only I had more time. I'd love more time to read, maybe take a class or two, try some new hobbies, etc. A person like this could potentially be a must more interesting conversationalist than a working drone. You know the expression: all work and no play makes jack a dull boy? [/quote]
