[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a mom, so I really do not have a dog in this fight. FWIW I believe that you are the only one who can decide what is best for you and your family.

I do have a question for the SAHM's because this thread talks about judgment of moms both roles (SAHM/WOH.) I have a couple of friends in your position, and I haven't heard them complain about being judged by other moms but instead feel hurt because their spouses judge them for staying home. My best friend was treated like a second class citizen and slave because she had to "earn her way" on top of raising his baby.

Have you encountered this? Is this a somewhat normal phase in this transition? [/quote]

The only time my DH scorns me for being a SAHM is when he comes home to a messy house and finds me on DCUM.  :oops:[/quote]

No...my husband has never judged me for staying home (I do work part-time but the hours are odd). He knows that it is not all cupackes and rainbows around here and has even admitted that there are days he is grateful to go to work. Also, the second that my husband judges or scorns me is the second we enter marriage counseling. It is not my job to make sure the house is beautiful when he gets home. We are a team and view the housework as stuff we BOTH have to get done. [/quote]
