Stay at home mommy/wife

Ray • Mommy to a handsome baby boy 2017 💚 and beautiful baby girl 2018 💜

I have to rant just a little bit because it irritates me when people tell me what my husband and I are going to fight about in the future.

My parents always say something about me needing to help out with money so we have a little bit extra when needed. They keep saying that not helping out is what causes fights because of being low on money and living paycheck to paycheck.

A little bit of my work background.

I have been a workaholic since 16. I've worked several different jobs, fast foods, factories, daycare, pharmacy, and children services. At the age of 20 I got married and also quit my first job without having a back up job. (I always made sure I had a job before I quit one.) I went a year and a half without a job. Husband said I didn't need one. He has a pretty good job and is able to support us. I started working in the pharmacy at the age of 22 and shortly after we decided to try for a baby. We got pregnant almost right away and didn't tell anyone until almost 2nd trimester. I went part time for a while and at 19 weeks had quit. My husband didn't want me working while pregnant if I didnt have to. I was glad when I quit because the place I worked at had a bunch of drama and my hands and feet started swelling and I got short of breath often. I also injured my back in a car accident at 16 the at 19 injured it again at one of the factories. Now I'm 34 weeks and couldn't imagine having working there because it was an 8 hour sometimes more shift always on your feet without a break...yes I know people work harder than that with longer hours and have worse symptoms and if I had to I would have, but I don't. Plus my boss had me scheduled 6 days in a row 8 + hours, normally I wouldn't mind. I used to work 7 days a week for months. 6 days was nothing. Until I woke up bleeding on the 7th day. That's when I went part time. He was no good at scheduling and so he still had me working full time so that's when I had to quit. But anyway.

I don't plan on getting a job after my son is born. My husband and I both want me to be a stay at home mommy/wife, and when my son is school age we plan on home schooling him anyway. So no I won't be working then either. I am the only one that needs to take care of my child. I do not trust many daycares because what you see on the news anymore. My husband and I are very happy and have everything worked out, as far as what we plan to do. We have our own house, own all of our cars, and plan on buying another house soon. So we have very little bills. I don't understand why people have to insert their opinions on what they think we will fight about in the future. Just because you fight about it all the time doesn't mean we will.

Sorry my rant is over. Thank you for taking the time to read. If you have experience as a SAHM and ways I could make a little extra cash until my baby boy is a little more active or home schooling children or have had someone criticize you for being a SAHM let me hear about it and tell me what you did or said to whoever said something.
