I make 50K+ a year, but I recently had surgery so I’ve been home a couple of months and i love all the extra time i have with my family. my husband can support us. We’ve talked about it and he’s okay with it but would this be unfair to him? I only need a few more credits to finish my Bachelor’s and I would like to start my own business working from home.

A stay at home wife and mom is a full time job in itself. And an incredibly worthwhile one at that. You have your entire life to finish your degree and start a business, but your children are only with you for a short while. And as for being unfair to your husband, every husband I know of a stay at home mom is extremely proud of the fact that he is the breadwinner. Strokes his ego no end that he’s truly being the man of the house. Just remember to say thank you, since a lot of men are too selfish and would rather be the male of the house.

Honestly, some women would die to have such a supportive husband like you. If he’s fine with it and it’s what you want, then go on with that dream. When your kids grow up, they’ll see that their mother gave them all the attention in the world and still had time to be a wife who finished her Bachelor’s degree and started her own business. They’ll be so proud of you and most importantly you’ll be glad you did it.

Why don’t you stay at home with your family and finish your degree by correspondence. Most colleges are doing it these days and you can kill to birds with one stone. If not finish your degree then stay home. Trust me you will regret it if you stop now.
Good Luck!

If you can stay at home with your family, you are very lucky. You can’t put a price on that.

well, i am a stay at home mother. have been staying at home all the time, the elder is 17 now. now i am trying to get a job, have been doing it for several years, but because i have been staying at home all these years and all other women were gaining experience now i am 40, with master degree and no working experience and nobody wants to hire me. and own business? give me a break. we have no problems with money, this is my self esteem i am having problems with – all 40 y.o. women re bank presidents, law firms’ associates, plastic surgeons, big corporation financial directors and i am a stay at home woman. how thrilling. sure i witnessed all precious moments of my kids growing. so what? i feel like a loser

If your husband can support you and he is happy to have you at home, what are you waiting for?! (If you are concerned about being unfair to your husband, just make sure you have his full support and you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.)
All the money in the world can’t make up for time you miss out on spending with your family. Stay at home and enjoy them while you can. Besides, you’re the only mum they know. Live it up!

I would finish my degree first, then stay at home.
Home businesses are a good thing, these days.
Make sure before you stay home you have at
least a few months salary in a savings for problems
that will crop up.
I stayed home for a few years, but I am the type that
likes to work, likes having a career. I like making my
on money, and being able to spend it as I see fit for
myself and my children.

If you both agree, than go for it. It’s not unfair to your husband as long as you don’t keep spending like you still make 50K and as long as you pick up more of the responsibilities of child care and running the house.
