But rather than dropping the topic, her husband proposed a different idea– him staying home with the baby.
Still, she is just not okay with that based on what happened two years ago after her husband lost his job.
When that happened, her husband took a three-month break before he started searching for jobs again.
During that time, he didn’t do much aside from burning wood in their firepit, scrolling on TikTok, and building some furniture in the garage.
She admits that it would have been fine if her husband also helped out around the house. But he didn’t, and on top of working, she was forced to take on all of the household responsibilities.
In fact, she did all of the cleaning, meal planning, and cooking. She also wound up hiring a house cleaner to help her out.
“Because with him being home so much, I couldn’t keep up and was getting resentful,” she recalled.
To this day, the cleaner still goes to their house once a week, too. However, if they drop down to just one source of income, she will no longer feel comfortable paying for that luxury.
Anyway, after her husband suggested that he become a stay-at-home dad, she tried to give him a reality check.
More specifically, she pointed out how he would also have to take care of the house– not just look after their son.
If he stayed home, she would expect her husband to clean and cook the majority of the time.
