SAHM wanting to work but hubby doesn’t support

I don’t want this post to sound like I’m bashing my husband but I feel like he is unsupportive of any career goals I have because he wants me to be a sahm.

I love staying home with my baby. He’s the best thing in my life but I’ve always had multiple jobs since I was 16. I’ve always been super ambitious. I recently began writing a business plan and touring locations to open a business and he is now telling me to wait. Meanwhile two days ago he’s showing me 50s housewife dresses he’s found online that he thinks I’d look good in. I just can’t help but think he doesn’t want me to work or find fulfillment outside of the home even though he says he’ll support me.

I love him and our son but I don’t want to change who I am in motherhood. I don’t know what to do or say

Funny how husband thinks differently
I don’t think he likes me to be SAHM! He rather for me to go to work!!!!

I say compromise is necessary in a marriage. Maybe if you talk y’all can reach an agreement like after a couple years of being a sahm you can get back to your career or something like that

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
