[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anybody have this happen?

How do you go from being 2 parents working to 1.

Does the SAH handle everything except for cleaning?

Do you have a cook?[/quote]

Well... in case this is real....

We have a HHI though it didn't happen over night like you. I'm a SAHM here is my advice.

-How do you go from being 2 parents working to 1.
You are going to be doing the bulk of the day in day out parenting. Without knowing the ages of your children it is hard to give specific advice. Make sure your DH gets in parenting time in the evenings and weekends. It can be easy as a SAHM to always want to jump in or say "I'll do it" because you are used to doing it. This is not healthy for you, your children, their father or your relationship. He is missing out while you get them all to yourself - make sure he doesn't get pushed aside as a parent.

-Does the SAH handle everything except for cleaning?
You are going to be the one managing the household. Everyone does this differently but I manage our lives, our household, our staff and all the little day to day things a home needs. Don't give your DH a honey do list unless he enjoys that sort of thing. Handle it yourself.

-Do you have a cook?
No, I guess we could, but I enjoy cooking. We do eat out as a family once a week and DH and I have a date night - so there are two nights when I don't cook. Its nice to just call the caterer when entertaining if I don't feel like doing it all myself.

If you have more specific questions I'll be happy to answer. Congrats to your family on your husband's promotion.
