How many people quit there jobs to become at SAHM before they was pregnant with their first?

Question

I was just curious what other people did. You can also state why you did if you like.

Answer

How can you be a SAHM but not have kids? That seems silly to me because why quit your income. If you don’t really need it for living expenses & your partner covers those SAVE your money for your future kids! Kids are expensive a f & it might be nice to have that aside to buy all the baby stuff or maybe have savings for them later in life.

Answer

I read the question wrong and answered incorrectly lol
I said “I did” because I read it as “who quit their job when they got pregnant with their first”. Sorry! I didn’t stop working until I was a little over halfway through my first pregnancy

Answer

My husband and I worked hard to make sure our finances right, so that I could quit and focus on attending school full time. The plan was for me to stay at home with out baby when it did happen, but we had been trying for about a year so I wasn’t feeling super hopeful. The month I quit was the month I got pregnant. I think that job brought my body a lot of stress and when I was able to leave I was able to conceive. I don’t regret leaving before getting pregnant at all and really feel that it was the only way I was able to.

Answer

I was a stay at home wife before being a stay at home mom. I had a lot of health issues I needed to take care of before conceiving and I took that time to take care of myself. We also ended up moving upstate and life just kind of happened that way. After being in the military then immediately going to and graduating from college I also needed the break so I don’t regret it. Being a stay at home wife was amazing tbh 😂

Answer

I have a few friends that have done this or were stay at home wives from the get go. 
Do what you want to do. If you’re going to be happy not working and scheduling your day around cleaning, cooking, volunteering, etc. than go for it. 
But I also have more friends that knew they wanted to stay at home so they just saved that entire income and never lived off it. My friends bought a way better house than we could because they had a huge down payment unlike us even though we make a lot more money. 
So at the end of the day do what will make you happy. Don’t listen to any of us.

Answer

How do you become a stay at home Mom without a child. Lol

Answer

So you wanna quit your job to be a stay at home wife or girlfriend right now basically? I'd wait until your pregnant at least

Answer

I worked my ass off till I gave birth this way I had enough money saved for bills and so my husband wouldn't have all the responsibility of paying bills bc in my opinion that kills a marriage,  all that stress. Once baby was 1 I went back to work,  saved up and now I have 3 month old and I stay at home but we have over 11 thousand in savings so he doesn't feel overwhelmed 🙃.  And I always tell him to let me know when he wants to switch places or if he wants me to go back, but he doesn't like leaving the kids with strangers

Answer

Oops. I did the wrong one. I lost my job as soon as my HG made me sick.  So I was a stay at home mom before my child was born but not before I was pregnant.

Answer

I didn't read that thoroughly enough before voting whoops! I quit my job when I was 6 months pregnant with my first but definitely wouldn't have even considered it before getting pregnant.
