I want so desperately to stay home and raise my son, but he tells me its not 1950’s anymore. It breaks my heart, help!!
He says we wouldnt make it money wise, I think we would if he got a higher paying job. We’d be saving $500 a month on a babysitter. Also I told him how good it would be to have his mom around all the time, and he said it’s better that he’s with a sitter!!

say how good it is for your son to be around his mother and not be half raised by others…..worth a shot.
Maybe you should consider something like a kinder garden type thing at home. Or just babysit. This way you are still working and are able to devote your time to your son. I don’t know your financial situation but you are putting a lot of pressure on your husband. Work together and try to come up with a compromise.
