If he made enough to pay all the bills and still have some left over, then yea I would do it.
When I am not working outside of the house, I feel more like a wife, and mother. Because I have more time to do the things that a wife and mother is supposed to do.

Accept what? i know from my experience as a stay at home mom for over a decade to be with my two kids that i put up with a lot of stuff i don't think i would have if i was financially independent. love my husband and all - but this whole - i take care of the house and kids thing while you go sit at a desk all day stuff gets old. i don't see him working at 10 oclock at night while i am folding laundry,helping with homework,cleaning the kitchen and getting everyone ready for bed - it is greatly undervalued.

I am female and No I will not stay at home and let him support me. I will not have him telling me again that I am useless, that He is the reason we have anything. I didnt enjoy the fact that he was controlling and that I had to be totally dependant on him for everything. I went back to work when my baby was 6 weeks old, those first 6 weeks were hell if i needed formula or anything i had to beg and plead to get it. Not now, i will never ever do that again.

Why not? If he can make it an on-going, consistant transaction into my bank account not matter what, and its sufficient that I can go on do my stuffs like having facial or mingle with my fellow friends, after settling the house chores & kids, why not?
I would love not to rush out in the morning, instead I can comfortably do my exercise routine, enjoy slow breakfast over the morning news, lunch with my kids, tea with my buddies, having the comfort to watch the movie channel at night with the whole family while not having to worry about undone laundry.

No I didnt why would I stay in a relationship I was unhappy in and it was all take from him,no I moved his *** out and got on with it yes it was hard at first as I have 2 kids but I got there,all the money in the world is not worth your mental sanity,or your self respect,it is a big step but when you look back and see how far you have come then its worth it,dont live a lie for money............

hi... ok from my experience...im a housewife.. i have 2 boys... ok to anwer ur queries.. Y NOT?? it does not mean that thats the end of our life or own money.. sit down and write the pros n cons..... then wen all bills put aside.. open your own account and put your share... in the account... put aside.. your monthly entertainment.. like movies together once or every week.. depends.. seriously.. wen will housechores ever done???NEVER!!!
that's the way to njoy life.. i do.. eventhough with kids.. i have fun with hubby.. though tired with housechores.. n all.. but no quality time together.. u will look back 10 or 20 years frm now n think that u have wasted your time looking for money and not everyone saves.. even if both husband n wife works...
.. at least i get to say...to my spouse and kids...I'm working just that i'm doing it at my own place and pace... trust me.. they will appreciate it more...

I'm 23 and a stay at home mom, all my support comes from my fiance. We have been together for almost 5yrs, i am quite happy with the way things are. he doesnt want me at work he likes me home taking care of the house, cleaning, paying the bills, cooking and taking care of our son.

I make more money than my husband so I can't stay at home and live off what he makes. But if he made more and we could afford it, I would definitely stay home.
