How much does your husband bring home AFTER taxes for you to be a full time stay at home mom ?

Even if you are barely getting by it doesn’t matter how much he makes!
I am just curious to see how families are doing it?
I am a stay at home mom my husband brings in under $6000 a month after taxes we have a 3 bedroom apartment for very cheap so our monthly expenses are small compared to the average couple so this works for us ! We also do not want our child in preschool until he can at least speak for himself around age 2.5 -3

Just over $2000 a month (I make a bit as a homebaker) It’s tight but we make it work somehow lol

We could make it work then we'd have no fun really. Just perspective when we had our oldest he made 5k a month after taxes in 2020. Now he makes little over 5k a month & I also work part time with free childcare at my work & we get to do so much. I work literally 4 days a week 5-6 hour shifts & my kids both went to work with me/ my oldest soon will go with me. That's my life hack. But I will also return to special ed teaching after my youngest is in school. I love visiting her & my coworkers texting me pics of her lol

Has anyone ever just completely changed their lives to have a massive reset?

Basically tomorrow we tell our family’s that we’ve ever so slightly blown up our entire lives!

I’m going to tell my mum and my in-laws that not only have we sold my business that I’ve had for 9 years but we’ve also sold our home that we’ve been renovating for the past four years. AND after telling everyone we were one and done turns out I’m actually 10 weeks pregnant with baby # 2! 🥹

We decided after Christmas that we just didn’t enjoy certain aspects of our lives so we decided it was time for a change. The problem was we had so many big responsibilities what with my business and the house that it felt impossible to reshuffle our lives in order to get happy again. So we’ve got rid of it all except for my husbands stable and well paid job.

It’s been unbelievably emotional and scary but so far I’ve no regrets.

Has anyone else just decided to simplify their lives in order to start again? I’d love to hear your stories

If your child is a week into potty training do you just whip out the potty in any public place?

My son really needed to go and just running to a corner of the park where the pram was he ended up pooing his pants. I didn’t even know if it was the right thing to have him sat on the potty in front of everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ but there was nowhere else. Is there anywhere you wouldn’t want your child to go?

Is anyone else frustrated by the babys father?

So my almost 3 year old, has been taken care almost the whole time by me, dad comes.from work, have to argue almost everytime to get him.do most basic tjings like brush teetj, read a book, he always says is so tired from work, but if anyone calls, he gladly answer and talk for 1, 2or more hours sometimes lying down sofa or goimg out walking outside no matter how cold or hot is! We kind of just roommates, we dont have any relationship beyond being parents of our child. Sleep different rooms, he doesn't seem to care, he provides for all nasic needs, but that's it, is incapqble of playing with his daughter, r3ad properly a book, he will rather build u a new closet i stead of having to deal with our toddler...the few times did a little is beacuse i yell and argue a lot. Anyone going through same?
