Am I being selfish?

Question

So I have a loving a wonderful husband but it just happens that I have a job making more money than him. It took him a while to find a good job and now that he has one he has one more class to finish his BA and then his salary will go up. We also just started a dance school and it needs a lot of attention because we want that to be our main source of income in the future. Well I found out that I am pregnant and I teach dance during the day. It is becoming very difficult for me to do and I really don't have the time or energy to work on the business but we already have clients. I really want to go out on disability but I feel extremely guilty because I make the most money and I feel if I don't work we are really going to struggle I am only three months and I can't imagine later in the pregnancy. I also teach special needs children so they are very changeling. If I stay home I can work on the business and take better care of myself plus working on the business will be securing things for the future but am I being selfish to put the responsibility of the bills on him. Should I just stick it out but it is very hard

Answer 1

can you hire a younger (so you dont have to pay much) person to take over your classes for you? you might want to think about hiring some one for a while incase you're not ready to go back for a while. good luck.

Answer 2

If one salary will cover the bills, then I think leaving work while you are this pregnant is a good idea.

Answer 3

Take care of yourself. Take the time off and enjoy the last part of your pregnancy.

Answer 4

you don't seem selffish at all you have been very supportive of him in his struggles to find a good job.so its now time for him to return the favor and support you in your decision to not work.
