(And this is why I think SAHMing will soon become extinct, because unless a man saw his own mother do it, he's less likely to accept his wife doing it.) I think the previous answers on this thread, including my own, show that is not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amy g. Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 My husband was 100% for my staying home, but I also warned him way before we married that I would never leave my child in daycare or with a babysitter, so he'd better be sure he could afford that before proposing. When my oldest was born, I cashed in my teacher retirement. He knows I'm serious. Now he wouldn't trade my being home for anything, but I suspect that if I told him I would only mary him if I could keep my career, he would love that too. His mother stayed home during the week, but worked as a newborn nurse overnight on weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*lifeoftheparty* Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 110% FOR; His mom WAS a SAHM until all the kids were in school, then she worked for their church, as she still does.... so she was always there when they got home. My husband has always said that having a SAH-Parent is so important that, if for some reason, he couldn't make enough to support me being a SAHM with one job, he would find a second job. And only then, if he couldn't do it, would I have to go to work. He would actually return to the military before he would have TWO jobs; honestly, it's a non-issue b/c he has a great job and makes more than enough to support a family, so whatever. LOL. But that is his mindset anyways :) If I ever get to the point where my child (and hopefully subsequent children) is in Private school, it's up to me whether or not I return to work.

(And this is why I think SAHMing will soon become extinct, because unless a man saw his own mother do it, he's less likely to accept his wife doing it.) I don't think that is correct at all. I have lived in many states and known a diverse range of people. I have met MANY people who had two working parents and they were daycare and/or latch-key kids... and it is BECAUSE of that, that they choose to be, or support, a stay at home parent. They don't want their kids to have the same upbringing as they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 100%. His mom was a SAHM until she was widowed with 5 young children.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 One more post on this thread. . . (again, my actual answer to the OP's question was on the first or second page) but the main reason my dh is 100% for me being a SAHM is not because of me being a SAHM as such, but because that's what allows me to be a homeschooling mom. Now I'll leave this alone!:auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves to be read to and learns right along with the kids at different times. He knows that homeschooling as a child would have changed his entire life for the better.

Tarreymere Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 My DH has been a SAHD and feels strongly that ONE of us HAS to be home. And right now that is me, since he wanted to go back to work after a few years. However, he seems to think that me being home is somehow better than him being home, so he probably will not be supportive if I told him that I wanted to go back to work. Okay, we've talked about it and he is emphatically against me going back to work, for totally selfish reasons (he is completely spoiled). So, yes he is 100% supportive, and his mom was a SAHM.

tex-mex Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Hubby is 100% in support. MIL never was a stay-at-home mom. My mom was a single parent and I attended public school. Anecdoctally, I was told by a relative, "You went to college for a degree and are choosing to stay at home to raise kids??" He was shocked. I can always go back into the workforce with my degree. But I cannot get back the years missed if I work and miss out on homeschooling. It is a sacrifice, but worth the time and investment. ;) Edited February 12, 2012 by tex-mex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
