SAHM

Told my bf I’m tired of working everyday and wanna be a SAHM. He wasn’t against the idea. Even let him know I would just need an allowance monthly to be able to get things I need and kids need and groceries. Lol we are in a Polly relationship so I said I would watch his other son as well. Drop kids off pick em up teach them clean house cook. Which I already do but I work full time. How do you moms that stay at home feel emotionally with it? He makes enough for him to pay rent and his bills without me working

I would sit down and write it all out, and be honest with what you want for yourself to spend a month so he can’t argue later. It’s hard talking about money but I think if you’re open in the beginning it’ll work out.

@Dee yes that’s the only thing I’m worried about. He may have just been playing but we spend alot between all 3 of us on childcare and drop offs and pick ups. It would ease the stress for us all but then again I like having my own money I hate asking him for money now while I work as it is

Money can cause arguments so if you discuss an allowance for yourself and the kids I think the switch works. I love being a stay at home mom but it was hard for me to become financially dependent on someone since I’ve worked since I was 14.
