My dd has been a SAHP since she got pregnant at 16 and is now 42 and is expecting her 5th baby. Her Dh earns very little to be honest and they rely on my help a lot.
She didn’t do very well in her exams at school and isn’t academic, she also had no further education after leaving school and has no work experience.
So with no pension, barely any income and 5 children one has moved out now, I just don’t know what will become of her.
She just seems to have written life off and is drifting along just trying to get through.
I worry because she’s never had any friends and never seems to be happy.
At some point she’ll have to find paid work as she’s got another 30 years almost of working years but I don’t know how she’ll go about this when the time comes, which it inevitably will.
I can’t be around to support them forever.
