I have a 4 year old DS, I worked full time dental nursing before I had him but didn't go back afterwards. When he was 2 I got a job in a tearoom but I lost that due to COVID when it closed. I'm due DC2 in October.
I feel really down about myself and the fact I'm not contributing financially. I feel like a scrounged and it's made worse by the fact DP works from home a lot now so I don't even feel like my worth is from having DS as he's at home anyway and looks after him as much as I do really, especially since being pregnant.
Also those of you who are SAHP.. how much does your partner earn for you to be able to that if you don't mind me asking?

Do you ever feel guilty for not contributing?
