Does your partner support you?

Really?

Sorry to say this, and please don't be offended, but you might be better off without both of them. You guys need men that can take care of you and the babies.

Is this the kind of life you want to live, is what you have to ask yourself.

Hugs to both of you!

Yeah, my little girl just turned 1. And her father loves her to pieces. So yeah, we live here with my parents while dad goes to work and hardly gets to see his baby girl. I think that is where a lot of the stress and stuff comes from. Not sure though.

Anyway, thanks for understanding

My husband likes it as long as I want to do it. His income is enough to support us, but there are times when things might get a little tight, mostly due to the fact that I like to shop. :-) So I work to help support my shopping addiction. I've said that I would get a job outside of the home when the kids are all in school, but he doesn't want me to. He is old fashioned and feels that it's his job to financially support us, while it's my job to mentally support us, if that makes sense. :-)

I've taken a few months off from working, and spending more money than usual, so trying to get back into the swing of things. I still love to joke around that he works so I can shop. :-)

He's supportive to the best of his ability. He always says. "your on that computer again?". We make jokes and find humor in my business since of course, it's not your 9-5 and yes I'm on the computer a lot, lol.

It is helpful especially when it comes to offline marketing to have a support system, husband, partner or what have you. I'm due in a month and get tired instantly. So he would go around and post flyers, door hangers etc. for me. Then he puts in his two cents when I get paid, "do I get 10% of that for labor work?" I say, "do I get 10% of anything for carrying your son?, lol"

Well, my family is pretty goofy but if you don't have a significant other as a support system, I would look into other family members, friends, church members etc. You can never have enough support especially in your business.

My husband resented (actually still resents) my prior venture. He is neutral thus far with my new one. Financially a WOH position wouldn't benefit us as I would basically be working to pay for childcare. So, as long as we're not paying a ton out without seeing a return, he's fine with my decision to be a WAHM.

My hubby just wants me to be happy. He knows I enjoy what I do so he really does not say much he does his thing and I do mine.

It is impossible to work from home for both but if one of you are at home it is perfect because there will be always your second part waiting for you.
