Would you go NC?

[Hellomatilda]

If your family decided to tell you they thought your decision to be a SAHM was wrong?

I think it depends if there is background to that.
Did they always make judgements like this?
Put you down in other ways?
They can think it's wrong if they want.
Doesn't mean they are right.
As long as you are happy with what you are doing, no-one else matters.
Being a SAHM has a massive amount of value.
No doubt they actually know this.
They may be thinking they would have liked to have had that option and are jealous.
Try not to worry about it.
If they want to bring it up then shut the conversation down.
'It's wrong to be a SAHM'
You - PA head tilt - I'm sure you think so and you are perfectly entitled to that opinion. So what are your plans for the weekend?
If it gets too much and makes you feel bad then minimal contact would be a good idea.
Negativity is not necessary and you don't have to put up with it if you don't want to!

Seems a bit OTT to me unless there are other factors at play.

I'd tell them to mind their own business, but I wouldn't go NC.

Is there more to it than this though?

It depends, are you such a princess that no one can ever upset you by disagreeing with you, or are they completely dictatorial and believe you should always do as they tell you to do?

If either of them, either they or you should definitely go NC.

If they've just expressed their view (and plenty of people on MN would agree with them) there's absolutely no reason to go NC.

Becoming a SAHM is a very risky thing to do. It leaves you in a very vulnerable position. If your DP leaves you, you will be financially disadvantaged having had a career break. If your DP becomes unable to work through illness, you will also be very financially disadvantaged. If at a later point in time you decide to go back to work, you will likely find yourself earning less than you do now because you have to take a step backwards to get back into the work force. All very good reasons for them to be concerned.
