[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a child with severe special needs so that is why I became a SAHM. Her needs have only become more complex and challenging as she aged, so going back was never feasible. Being a SAHM allowed me to devote enough time to my DD and her NT brother   Fortunately, DH was motivated to find better-paying positions so we were able to still meet our financial goals.  DS is now a wonderful and successful young man. We've been married for three decades and don't regret anything. [/quote]

This is my situation too. I had no intention of quitting with but by age 3 it was obvious to my husband it wasn’t best for our family. He laid out his plan to increase his income and asked me to stop working. It quite a few years to be okay with giving up my career.

We did go through some very lean years but we felt strongly it was necessary for me to SAH.

It has been the best solution for our family. Our daughter has benefited tremendously and we have our sanity.

I heard warnings from a friend or two about divorce. But honestly it was their marriage on the rocks and they got divorced. I respect their concern but each situation is different.

Talk it over with your husband. Only you two know if it’s right for your family. [/quote]
