I'm sure he is worried about the liability of having those two things. You would need to put up a fence around your pool and hot tub.
Even then there is a risk. A local day care here had a child slip away and get into their above ground pool. Luckily the child was revived and didn't suffer any harm... but it was a scary event.

Do not do it until you and your husband agree. I suggest working with him to come up with ways to secure the pool and hot tub so that it is not a danger to little ones. Once these and other safety issues are resolved, show him how the extra income could benefit the family.

Absolutely not! Your husband has a legitmate reason for not allowing it. There is just too much room for lawsuits...if a child gets hurt in your care, you could be sued, and your husband will be right there to point his finger in your face and tell you, "I told you so!" Please don't go against your husband's wishes; it could cause problems in your marriage, and you wouldn't be a stay-at-home mom anymore...you'd be divorced and having to bust your butt to make ends meet.
Another thing...sure you like staying at home with your kids, but having more children besides yours is EXTREMELY hard work, especially if you're doing it from home. I have done this before, and I can't advise you enough about how your children will feel having to share mommy.

There are some liabilities here. Call your homeowners insurance agent or review you policy, find out what the proper riders are and the cost.
Present the idea to your husband again with the information you have gained. This way he will see that his concerns have been addressed.
If you just go and do this without proper planning you could be in for unexpected results and trouble on the homefront.

You need to look into the legalities of starting a home care business when you have a hot tub and pool. Do your research and then talk to your husband again.

From what I understand there are strict guidlines for open water facilitys around day care of any kind. See if you can find out what they are and gp from there if it means that much fo you . I think u have the first qualifying factor. loving kids, Be real carefull research what u might be getting ur self into if the pro's out way the cons then I say go for it just be carefull with open water you allready know that im sure . Good luck and make sure it's good for avery one including the children and safety first.

talk about ways that you could cover up the pool or tub if your husbands worried about the kids safety. He and you should make the decision together I think. Sit and make a list, together about pros and cons, and figure out what works best for the two of you. If you can't reach a decision together, then I wouldn't do it.

are you staying at home right now? or do you go to work?
I would go for it if I were you...but take precautions with your pool and your hot tub...have them fenced in so no toddlers can get it...
dont let a man dictate what you do...if its your dream and you can bring in money to the table...go for it...
even if he is your husband...he should respect your decision...
go for it...and love it...all you can do is try...and if it doesnt work out...at least you will know

If you are responsible enough fo a day care then why not. You just have to be very careful with those things. But it has to be a something both of you agree with.

Which is more important? Is it worth the problems it will cause with your hubby? Try and change his mind if you can't then i would advise you not too.
