The Problem: Ever since graduating from college about years ago I have worked outside of the home, except for illness and birth, till just last week. Last week the corporation I was employed by was taken over in a hostile merger and most of the employees let go, including me. Getting another job is not a problem but my husband is very much against it. He is nagging me to stay home and take care of the kids. I enjoy working and earning my own money and am not sure how I would handle being a housewife at all since I am not domestic in the least. He is saying that my desire to work is selfish and I should sacrifice for the good of the family since he makes good money and we have plenty of savings. But I don't know what to do..

I think that your husband is being controlling. If he has so much money then you can afford to have someone else watch the kids while you work!

clueless!Dec 28 2001 4:04pmFLAGHe is being controlling and mean. Leave him, but empty out the bank account first
Eatin FeceMar 18 2002 2:17pmFLAGyou should work if you are happy doing it. so what if he's being controlling you are not being selfish you are just bringing more money into the household i think he is the one that is being selfish for not letting you do what you want to do. you are his wife and you love him, but that doesn't mean you have to listen to him all the time. i think his biggest mistake was him telling you that. i'd be pissed and you know what else? i would make him sleep on the couch just for that. lol
SchwartzJul 16 2002 10:25amFLAGyou should work to make your own money cause relying on someone is a big mistake trust me i know from experience! it ruined my life!

a personAug 07 2003 10:58pmFLAGi think you should od what you feel is best (sry for the miss spelling)
a personAug 07 2003 11:00pmFLAGYou are a person with goles and needs yourself. a family is a joint thing you made happen together. You can also cook clean and raise your kids together. If you give up what makes you feel whole now in the future what will happen if you would idvorce. you would be left no job no nothing having to start over. do not put yourself there. Do not let him control the family situation. Do it together. Never let anyone tell you haw you should live or what you should do. Nor feel bad for your decissions if they are not harming anyone. ren are raided every day by working parents and you will have a better income together to do and buy the things you want.
