[quote=Anonymous]Men and women parent differently, op. I’d get over my husband’s approval real quick if he didn’t think I needed something I told him I needed.  He is there to love and support me, not put me in a position where I need to justify my experiences and needs.

Your husband sounds like the sort of guy who wouldn’t approve of anybody, they don’t have enough experience, they’re too young,, they’re too old, he doesn’t like the shirt they were wearing to the interview, I can guarantee you there will be a reason why he doesn’t approve of anybody.

If it were me, I’d quit my job.  I wouldn’t want to fight with a husband about this issue.  More importantly, I wouldn’t want to be on call for work.  That will become less tenable as your kid gets older.  We have 3, and we are out of the hard labor phase.  We were dancing around to Y.M.C.A this morning and then I put on songs from when I was my kids’ ages.  I’d not have wanted to interrupt that to respond to random work stuff.  This weekend, we are looking forward to a pumpkin patch, and I’m probably the one who’s the most excited.

Working on a schedule is fine, everybody needs to do that, but on-call? I simply wouldn’t put myself in that position.

Your post is an example of what my dad told me once “women will do things men would never agree to, men demand what they need to be successful at what they are doing, women would be much better off if they did the same”.

Tell your husband you are hiring help or that you are quitting work. He doesn’t get the benefits of a stay at home mom and a mom who works.
