If it’s a choice that works for both of you, that’s great. I think every couple should decide together what will work for them. Doesn’t have to be the same for everyone.

And our home isn't spotless or anywhere near it. Dinners and Shabbos is very simple. My kids don't have most up to date wardrobe.
But we are fed, clean, clothed, housed, loved and in school. |
Would your kids have no food to eat or would they not be in school? Because that's a lot more expensive than food

I don't work full time because when I did my husband didn't take equal responsibility for the household/childcare. I couldn't be a nice person doing it all. So I stopped. He said in his family men weren't expected to do these things. So I said he could go to his family for money then since they created this set up. He had an attitude that I could figure it out because I'm the woman. I decided I believe in him and he can figure it out as the man.
And you know what?
He did.
And he's still not super helpful around the house. And I do work part time. But I refuse to work full time until he takes equal responsibility and mental load. It's been 5 years and I have no regrets
Men treat us as badly as we let them.

We are all trying our best to do what we believe is right for our family, be that working full time, part time, from home or stay at home mom.
We all have different capabilities and physical and emotional resources. What someone else chooses to do does not take away from what you are doing. We don’t need to push people down to lift ourselves up. |
Her title was very off. It pushed everyone else down. She doesn't work because she loves her husband.... what does that say about those who work?
