Stay at home mom or selfish?

Question

So my bf and I just recently found out I'm pregnant. I'm a little over 4 weeks, we had the discussion before hand about me being a stay at home mom. And now he's been flipping out about me going back to work and sayin I'm selfish. Remind you, I'm high risk because I have Epilepsy so I've already stopped working. And I've talked to him telling him all the sacrifices I've already made caring this baby and the ones I will make during the journey and after the baby is here. Am I being selfish because I'd prefer to be a stay at home mom? At least until the child is in preschool.

Answer

I think if you showed him the cost of daycare he would realize that it's cheaper to be a stay at home mom. In my area it's $900 a month for infant care. My husband and I decided together that it would be best if I stayed at home. We think children benifet more if at least one parents is always there.

Answer

This is why hubby and I talked about this kind of stuff before getting married. I used to be in the Navy (feminist to the max) but now I understand the importance of the woman keeping up the home and raising the children (I plan to homeschool). Heck, it's what they did in biblical times! 😂 Since you aren't married, I'd say put the baby first and bf second. (Really, I'd recommend God first and all the rest will fall into place). 🙏🏼💞

Answer

See if you can work while at home  maybe

Answer

I love being a stay at home mom and being the main caregiver to my little girl. Those years go by fast and you should enjoy them.

Answer

Whoa it is not selfish to be a stay at home mom. It's one of the most selfless things you can do... because it's extremely difficult and you have to give of yourself around the clock.

Answer

No that's not selfish! It saves so much money. And benefits him too! He can always come home to a good meal if you're there.

Answer

Before i got pregnant, I was working too. I stopped working. You are not being selfish. He's the selfish one for thinking that you are selfish. It's your choice not his. Whatever you feel is right for the baby do it.

Answer

I stopped working a few months ago when my husband and I moved to Canada. I always knew I wanted to be a stay at home mom and since we were actively trying to have a baby I never went back to work. I justify it by doing all the errands, cleaning house and making sure when he comes home dinner is ready. Childcare is so expensive. He looked it up and it just doesn't make sense financially to pay all that money and miss those milestones. To each her own, though!
