Really want my husband to be a stay at home husband. I'm already the breadwinner in our household and considering taking a job where I'll make nearly what our combined TC is now. The career and ambitions he has would not take a hit if he took off and needed to return later. It'd open up more time for us to pursue rental properties and that could supplement his retirement. He's on PTO right now and I jokingly said he should be a house husband but we're kinda wondering seriously about it.

D3, there called honeymoon.

I was a stay at home dog dad for almost 3 months. It was a magical time.

Got high on the outdoors!!! We (dog and I) went to dog parks or hiked or long walks every day. Did all the house stuff, drove my partner to work when she wanted. I did a ton of cycling and meeting people in the local road bike community (this led to a job). I was living off savings I had for those months so still splitting expenses 50/50. We had much less back then, but it makes things simpler in a lot of ways; it’s a time I remember fondly.

He has previous 401ks that are still earning plus some legal gig work and managing a house rental to supplement. It’s not much but having him home to manage kiddo and the house is so worth it for our sanity. Once kiddo is in school he’ll probably find more regular work. My D healthcare is pretty comprehensive, and taking out the cost of daycare makes it very financially helpful for us.

Do it if it works for both of you

What’s the new income? If it’s $250k+ then definitely doable and you can still save a lot. I would be uncomfortable at $150k or less because kids can surprise you with how expensive things can be

We're both sterilized, so thankfully we don't have to worry about that expense!

Any good relationship is based firmly in good communication. Just have the discussion and agree to a plan. You have to both enthusiastically agree to such an important decision.

I’d be happy to be a stay at home husband. Inquiries welcome.

I will agree, only if you don’t wfh 🤣

I wish it was that simple 😝

I don’t understand if wants or not. You mention his ambition, which makes me think he does not want to. In that case, you should not force him to change

Ok makes sense. As long as you take care in not pushing him towards this decision, there’s no harm in bringing it up. I just wouldn’t like the idea of my SO making me feel like she is taking charge over my life because I would never do the same to her

My wife became stay at home when we moved but she got bored out of her mind and went back to work… ironically she doubled her salary because she went from FT nurse to contract nurse so that was a dope surprise. In your situation might be the same, only way to find out is try it, the way we justified it was finances and being able to have off for certain holidays that were coming up (no real factors outside of that)
