Curious…

Hello! Can i ask you mamas what your husband/partner does for a living that allows you to comfortably be a SAHM? We’d like to eventually transition to that as our family grows, but also want the freedom to build the life we want. Also open to hearing if any of you work remote or side gigs to help contribute financially? Much appreciated! 🩵🩵🩵

My husband is a plumber 🧑‍🔧 & I’m going to school to be a behavioral analyst so I will be able to go back to work when my kids reach school age! My biggest advice is don’t go out to eat & shop at Aldis for groceries those two things alone save us so much money!

My partner works for CN Railway as a conductor/engineer. Financially, great job... But he is gone for 24-36 hours 3-4 times a week.

I make what I can from scratch and we shop discount / bulk when we can. We also seldomly eat out and I get most of mine and my children's clothes second hand. 🖤

My husband is an assistant professor but we have taken a big hit since I've been staying home. I'm a teacher and we really relied on what I made as well. We have been using savings to offset things but we really didn't know we would have another child, much less twins!

My husband is a software engineer (8 years experience, the market is swamped with new computer science majors right now). We'll be taking a big hit when our baby is born and I stay home (30% income decrease)

My husband is a partner at 2 companies, one that fabricates custom saws for lumber companies and the like, and one that manufactures mining equipment. I don’t work from home or contribute financially and it’s what I’ve always wanted for myself haha

My Husband is the managing director of a debt resolution company, of which he has shares in too. I'm extremely fortunate in that I'll be able to take a year off with our baby as his wage will cover us both - he also gets dividends according to profits made that year 🤞
I'm a sports massage therapist so won't be able to work for the majority of that year with it being such a physical job, but I should be able to do the odd client here and there before I officially go back to work.

My husband owns his own business. it’s great but we have times when we have to be more careful about spending

you can live off of any income but it just wouldn’t be as comfortable for you now. my husband is a fuel farm operator and its 27 an hour. i’m able to stay home because our rent is low, we have cash cars only and we do not eat out. we live paycheck to paycheck.

He works in the IT field and has a bunch of contracts. You know when you call your doctor and they have that automated system? That’s what he builds

My husband is an attorney but now that my kids are all school age, I wonder sometimes if I should go back to work…

My husband works at a glass factory. He makes good money and it’s easier for us if I stay home so we don’t have to find babysitters or pay a babysitter

We don’t plan for me to go back to work. But we do plan to get a ranch property in the next 4-5years. I will be taking care of that mostly with help of course.
I never went to college. So I’d have to hope another company hired me as an accountant based off of previous experience with a 5 year gap too 😅

Mum friends - how do people make friends?!

Finding it super difficult to make mum friends at the moment! My little boy is nearly 10 months and I haven’t succeeded in anything more than a few messages or if I talk to people in person at a baby class, it’s just a quick small-talk convo and it never goes anywhere! Feeling a bit deflated because I’d love to have a small group of like minded mums to chat to as none of my friends are in the same stage of life as me ❤️

Sorry to sound mopey, just feeling a bit lonely!

Mom friend

Looking for some genuine mom friends 🩷 I’d love to meet someone I can actually build a real friendship with — texting, FaceTiming, going out, trying new things, having our kids hang out, and just being there for each other. I’m really hoping to find that one bestie where we can be comfortable, laugh about anything, make memories, and have a friendship that feels like family 🥹💕
