[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never seen a DH try and come up with so many excuses to get his wife to quit her job.

Confidential info! Firearms! Covid!

He is full of crap about all of this and clearly just wants you to quit your job. Hard stop.

Why does he want you to quit your job so badly?  That's the real question. [/quote]

OP here. He only wants me to quit my job with the pandemic. We are trying for a second child and ideally I would go back after maternity leave. That is his logic. We have enough in savings for me to stay home. I don’t love my job, but we need it for our long term financial goals. [/quote]

Nah, still doesn't add up.  He wants his cake and eat it to - as in, he wants you to handle the childcare during this shit covid work from home time, and then handle the shit childcare during your maternity leave time (which isn't actually maternity leave - because you won't have a job), and then since there's no rush back to work since you don't have a maternity leave end date, he'll want you to stay home for 2-3 years after the baby is born and handle all that shit time, and then go back to work.  Basically, he wants you to handle all the worst childcare years so he can not have to worry about the drama, and then go back to work but you take the career hit for having taken so much time off.  Gross. [/quote]
