Thinking of a way to approach my boyfriend about me not going back to work after baby, and just focus on school. I have a degree already but I'm just not satisfied with my pay and I want to change careers. When I say it out load it just sounds selfish though. The only reason I'm considering it is because he just graduated from his 5 year apprenticeship and that comes with a huge raise and he'll be more than 100,000 a year if he keeps steady work, and I think that is reasonable to live off of for a little while that way I can go back to school and be making waaaaay more than I make now, the sacrifice I think will be waaaaay worth it. Idk if he'll go for it though.
That's my other thing too, I know I'm going to want to be home with him. My mom is suppose to be watching him when I go back to work, but she already has so much on her plate with taking care of our uncle with Alzheimer's and I don't think it's fair to be putting all that stress on her! @deafmama16
I understand but if he not on board than it shouldn't stop you from doing what you think is best, he should see where you're coming from and why. Good luck mama
