To just quit my job..

[mylittleponyrainbow]

I work because I like to have a little bit of independence and it being good for my mental health.
I've found my most recent job has been detrimental to my mental health, it's stressful, not very well paid and after putting dd in nursery we've had Covid, Norovirus, cold.. it's exhausting. I feel constantly anxious.
DH wage is good and covers everything thank god.
Aibu or will I be seen as lazy if I just quit and be a SAHM for a while?

It's not lazy at all to be a SAHM when you have a pre schooler. In these circumstances I'd give up your job but definitely start planning ahead what you're going to do when they're both at school.

Do it, what is stopping you? I was a sahm mum for 7 years until both of mine were at school. I am so so grateful I had those years with the children, I know lots of people would hate the idea but they are the happiest of my life. I went back almost as soon as my youngest was at school, I'm now in a rewarding role and love my job unlike the job I was doing before children.

If both parents want one parent to be a shame, particularly in the preschool years, and can afford it.

Then do it. Its not a permanent thing forever
Just for a couple of years until they are both at school

Then get a less stressful job as well

Could you afford to keep DD in nursery a couple of days a week if you quit? It seems a shame to pull her out completely if she’s enjoying it. If yes, then I’d say go for it!

'Within reason'????

Why don't you already have a card and who does he think he is saying 'within reason'.

Definitely do not become financially dependent on him, he sounds like he plans to monitor your spending

I quit a completely shit job two weeks in (mentioned it on here yesterday, actually). My husband earns enough and was supportive so I was fortunate to have the better option, and what's the point of having better options if you don't use them?

We were ready for me to be a SAHM for however long (as husband travels a lot, there would actually be advantages to this). As it happened, I got another, much better position straightaway but it was unexpected.

Sometimes you have to suck up misery. But if you don't have to, why would you?

For gods sakes this is a ridiculous comment when there are children involved. Looking after a child is a job in itself albeit unpaid!
