[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He makes 3/4 of a million annually and you need to have someone else raise Junior? Is this a troll?[/quote]

What? Did you read my post? I said I want to quit my job and be a SAHM, probably permanently.[/quote]

I DID read your post and maybe should have written "HE needs to have some else. . ."[b] Because I cannot imagine why you need to work once the baby is born other than to be making a show of being a career-oriented person [/b]OR to wallpaper your pacer room in $50s.[/quote]

Well to be honest, I'm worried that he'll lose respect for me despite what he may say on the outside, which is why I'm posting to see what other men think generally about this. [/quote]

This is the worst place to ask your question OP. In real life many men appreciate their wives staying home and managing the house and family. This is a commonly accepted partnership among MANY people.  The only person you really need to discuss it with is YOUR HUSBAND. Strictly a family decision. 
If he is not on board than no you cannot do it. But you will need to discuss how you will split house and parenting responsibilities. 
On the other hand, if he is okay with the idea of you not working you need to discuss expectations and how you will work together as a couple. Then you might want to check in periodically to make sure the arrangement is actually working. 
You will know quickly if he loses respect for you - he will act disrespectfully towards you. You will come back to DCUM to get some feedback on the situation and be told that you are a worthless SAHM and not deserving of respect from ANYONE let alone your "provider."
