Being SAHM - I dont know how well to describe 'willingness' of hubby to support BB n wife and also like what May says, earning how much is consider enough.
For my hubby, he feels that parents are the best role models n 'educator' for children, so he will do all his might to let me be SAHM, U all know he works on graveyard shift, he can chose to work regular hours, but workign shif means allowance so he chose that...although I understand that I be more well off in terms of monetary coz base on 2 income I stil choose to be SAHM, bcause I too agree with his thoughts n love my son more than I would over $. Many say my "pang sai zuai" really became a pc of toilet paper and urge me not to waste it... but if able to give my son proper care n love I think that's more worth than the $ i spend on the tolet paper.
Being SAHM as its pros and cons, for me, i got to handle housework and Baby E but I do find time for myself like now and going out with PTTs...and it means sacrificing rest time. Cannot spend $ like how I use to. and also sometimes being labled as "Jaundice Mummy" Hahaha... but but like what DSII says, i am enjoying all my baby's firsts.... and best part, NOBODY knows Baby E better than me, it makes me feel so GREAT. eg, When he cry, i just carry him and he keeps quiet like turning off the switch.
Sometimes I do lament to HB abt freedom to go out as and when, abt spending $, abt how naughty E is etc ete but I still feel its all worth it if E & hubby appreciates
but one thing loh, I feel depress if I stop myself from buying things that I really like, so I just buy... and Hubby is understanding enough not to question why I spend so much on CC bills.
My 2 cents.
