Any other moms here with a husband that stays at home with your kids? I consider myself lucky but I also carry guilt for traveling and there’s a lot of pressure on the finance-side. How about you?

We did it . Happy to chat

Me! There’s a lot of pressure financially which means I’m more hesitant to take risks and jump jobs. And I have guilt when I want to do something alone on the weekends that requires him to watch the kids. Quite frankly, I’d much rather stay home but that’s just not the way it worked out for us.

Me! We switched. I stayed home for a year when 2nd baby was born. He’s been home for 18months and holding it down so well. I make sure he gets a good 3 hour chunk every weekend to just be alone. I also get home 1-2 days a week early or work from home 1 day a week to help. We divided the duties so both of us felt it was even. Money is tight, but we are happy

I did it for a year. It was nice knowing my child was with a parent, even if I would have rather it been me. I felt the same way, but know that it’s very temporal. The kids will start school and your partner can have their time. Always a partnership with child rearing

For example - How am I going to know what to pay for our child’s education in the future etc?

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college.
