Money for child care

My husband pays me $4,000 a month to stay home with our 3 year old daughter. He doesn’t want me to work, but everyone is making me feel bad about it, and I feel a bit guilty. Should I be feeling guilty? I left my entire career for this.

Why do you feel bad??

If you don’t mind me asking where were you working or doing before you became a stay at home mom ?

Don’t feel bad about making passive money that you can invest!

People making you feel bad are probably just jealous because they don’t have this. Honestly you’re so blessed you can spend this precious time with your daughter! Before long she will be in school. Enjoy it whilst it lasts!

I wish I got 4 grand a month🤣 anyways it’s none of anyone business but you and your partners you don’t even need to tell anyone

Becoming a Sahm is risky because you become dependent on your husband. Does it sound a lil crazy that he’s giving you $4,000 yeah. But who cares save that money in case of anything. People that try to make you feel guilty are probably just jealous 😆

Sahm is necessary work. Otherwise you have to put your child in daycare/have a nanny, potentially a maid and cook or be paying for take out.

No don’t feel bad at all…enjoy your time at home with your kids and husband…and save money invest into your kids future and maybe surprise your husband with a getaway trip for just you 2 with some of the money you saved

Don't feel bad, you are raising his child, that is harder than a lot jobs out there.

Yeah don't feel bad. Being a SAHM is hard work and being compensated for it is awesome.

Is that money you have to spend on household expenses or is that *your* money?

Who is “everyone” it’s nobody’s business what you and your husband do! And if they’re making you feel bad they are not your true friend! ❤️

Also NEVER Feel bad for being a stay at home mom we will never get these years back with our babies! ❤️ my son is about to start preschool in the fall. I’m excited for him, but I’m a little sad if you know what I mean. These years have gone by so fast.

If my partner could afford to pay me 4k a month to be a sahm I would be! I don’t get paid that as a working mum. If it is something he can afford and you are both happy with this. Then no one elses opinion matters

please feel privileged 🙏 ✨ ☺️ luxury life baby
