Semi stay at home mom?

Question

I am a semi stay at home mom. my husband tells me i don't have to go back to work. I was on bed rest for 2 months before giving birth. So at 3 weeks i wanted to return to my job. granted i was a bartender/server. it's been 7 weeks now and i still only work 1 -2, sometimes 3 days a week. although he goes to school 40 hours a week and work 25-30. Am i wrong to be jealous of the time he gets away with other adults, or am i absolutely right to be upset. even though I will never let on I care.

Answer 1

dont be jealous, just sit him down and tell him you would like to work more days, he should accept your decision.

Answer 2

Purse Party

It's a lot of fun and the average purse party is $400...you get paid 30% commission the night of the party so you get $120 for about 3 hours of work! There are no minimum sales quotas and you do the parties when you want. You can also do catalog parties and you are provided with a website that you get the same commissions from. You have no inventory just a few samples to carry and they are tax deductable.

Answer 3

I can relate I was on bed rest with my second child and was going crazy. I am fortunate to have a part time job with Mary Kay. I can make my own hours and I get the freedom and flexibility while getting paid to hang out with girlfriends. The best part is I do most of my appointments from my home so both me and my daughters get play dates. I don't know what I would do without the adult interaction and all the great friends I have made through my Mary Kay business.

Answer 4

I hear you. My spouse works really long hours and I stay at home with our three young kids, all under six years of age. I have an associates degree in nursing but the cost of daycare is too much to bare, right now. He's very sociable and goes on outings with his company all the time. I'm very envious of his free time and I get upset with him without telling him why. I know it's wrong,but I don't want to appear like I'm not enjoying my time with the kids.Yet I'd trade one hour at a boring conference, for a whole day of screaming kids any day!!!!

Answer 5

You shouldn't be jealous of the time he spends away from you and the baby. He probably feels a bit left out and jealous of you getting to stay at home more than he does. Ya know they say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. It is normal to want to be around adults for a while when you are at home alone with a baby so much. If you need to get out of the house and work three days a week and can do it...then go for it. Not everyone is cut out to be a "house wife".....I used to work 50+ hours a week and then I got to quit and stay home. It was fun for a while....then it started to get really frustrating. I love my kids, I just don't want to be with them 24/7 365 days a year. They need time away from me as much as I need a break from them. So now I work part-time at night (I leave as my youngest is going to bed and I get home as they are getting up for school) and things are much better. Yeah, I am sleep-deprived some days, but for the most part it works out great. My kids never come home to an empty house, they all have plenty of outside activities (dance, orchestra, sports & scouting) I never have to worry about what to do if one of them is sick or needs an appointment because of my work schedule...or if there is a snow day or delay for school. I am a better Mom because I do get out into the world and deal with adults for a time....it gives me time to focus on what's really important and they get great time with Dad...for us it just works. And that's all that matters in the long run. There's another old saying...if mom isn't happy, then no one is happy. And that's way to true. You set the tone in your house. So you have to be happy with what you do and where you are in your life. So, work, go to school, get involved in community work or volunteer at the local hospital....what ever you want to be happy. It will make you a better mom in the long run. Good luck & best wishes!

Answer 6

i am a stay at home mom too and i used to work outside. i know how you feel. you want to get your life back .you want your spouce to babysit more so you can go out more. it is normal to have these feelings. believe me, being a housewife is like being in prison, you have to pay your duty. there is no way out. but think of your baby. he is missing his dad and mom too. doesnot that make him sad? life is all about making choices , make a good choice. think of your baby, not about yourself or your husband. if you can manage i think you should spend more time with the kid. being a bartender is not a good job for a mom.

Answer 7

Yes...um, sweety if you both love each other than whats there to be jelous about???
You just had a baby, you should be with you baby...
and trust me i would not be jelous but rather feel real bad....
He is out of his home 65-70 hours a week.... that means he doesnt get to see you, of the baby....and he's gave you the choice to go back to work or not....i would do the same...hes being a man, taking change of the situation...hes looking out for your best interest at the expense of killing himself.
If you really want to go back to work....do it not to see other adults...but to help with the financial burden...perhaps to lessen his workload.
