Going to become a housewife and extremely nervous

Samantha

Hello everyone. My boyfriend and are looking forward to the new year because he is planning on changing jobs. The plan is for us to get married. We want a courthouse marriage and have a party afterwards. But along with that, when he changes jobs, I'll quit mine and become a housewife. I'm not nervous about being a housewife and being alone for hours but I am nervous about what my parents and family will think. All my adult life I've been hounded by my parents that I need a real job. I paid my own way through college, bought a brand new car, with help of a loan. My bf and I just celebrated our 2 year anniversary 11/24 and we've owned a house for over a year now. I feel that besides not figuring out what I wanted to do in college, I have accomplished a lot. I have everything I never thought I'd have. A man... and who wants to marry me. I thought I'd be a lonely freak and grow/ die alone. I own a house with my bf soon to be husband but dispite being happy I'm still extremely nervous about what my parents and family will think when they find out I am choosing to be a stay at home person. All of my working life I've always told myself I just want to stay at home. I'm a homebody, I'm fine with being home alone hours on end. However I've held many stable jobs becuase I also love money. Now my dream is finally happening. I told myself for years now, one day I'll finally go back to school and get my bachelor's in social work. This could finally be my chance. I'm just super nervous that my family will call me lazy and give me a bunch of negative comments. I know my parents will say something like we've raised you to be able to take care of yourself, be independent, then be able to find you a man and settle down. I feel like I have. I'm not lazy, I'll gladly work if I have too, my jobs that I've had are real jobs. I have a idea I'm going to look into on what to do with my 401k, and how to hopefully keep investing in it. I know I got to have money when I'm old. I got my insurances planned out too, I got everything covered. Who knows, I might end up getting bored and getting a job, I've been working since I was 12, I'll figure it out. I know it's none of anyone's business, it's my life, but I'm still nervous how everyone will react. Anyone else a house wife? Any tips?
