[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I just had a beautiful baby. I’ve always been very financially independent and planned to work. Then I had my son. I have extended my 12 week maternity to 6 months, though I’m contemplating quitting my job to stay home with him and hopefully a second baby for the next couple of years. My husband is very supportive of whatever I want to do. I do often think about how our relationship and marriage will change with me not bringing in an income. I’ve always been one to say I would never be dependent on another person, but I’m here now. For stay at home moms, did your relationship/marriage change? How did you staying home affect things? [/quote] It does, but it was worth it (my kids are 4 and 7 now, and I'm back at work). I also started working very PT (10 hours a week) when they were each 1 years old -- having even a small income stream was enough to keep our dynamic in balance, made it much much easier to ramp up to full time work when I was ready, and I never felt like I didn't have enough time with the kids.
