I want to work again...

Hi Lhenni, this discussion is 6 months old but I want to respond to it :D Young married couples have the same problems. Those you stay at home, find it boring during the days, and of course, if you have the skills and experiences you want to utilize them so that you could help out the family and also be able to fulfill your personal needs like pride. Of course if you graduated with a college degree you would want to use the things you learned is school :) But it's ok, I think your husband is capable of making a living for your family that's why he wants you to stay at home, and guide your children properly. Why don't you try running a business at home so that, you have some kind of work load. Happy myLotting

I have been a stay at home mother for about 2 years after resigning from my job. Since my daughter stays on the dorm, i have no one to attend to except do the household chores. What is nice is that i could do the things i want to do after i am done with the chores. But it was really boring plus i miss dressing up for work. Hence, i decided to apply and hubby approved , and got my job. I can now say, i prefer to have a job than be a stay at home wife. Go for it Lhenni, if you think the kids are already old enough to attend to themselves already. But, it is important that your hubby should agree.

Have you thought about finding things you can do from home to earn some Extra money? If you enjoy writing, even though you are from the Phillipines I am sure there are ways to earn money doing that, and other things. If you are creative there are now many sites out there for ways to earn extra money from that as well. In reality the ways are endless. It is really depending on you. Just remember especially when already having a family sometimes being able to find something outside the home can be a challenge as well. Talk it over with your husband and decide what is Best for you.

There must be some reasons why your hubby wants you to stay at home. It's the opposite to me. I want my wife to get a job to strengthen financial support. Nowadays things are going up. My salaries don't go far. It's terrible. Your hubby certainly is a strong financial position.

I have not been able to find work and now that my husband is temporaily disabled I am glad that I am not working because he needs me to help him out. I am also in school which is good because it keeps me busy. I have also been taking courses in Jewelry making so I can sell some of my jewelry online. I want to run an online business so I can make a little extra money. I know that after I finish school I would like to work and eventually want to own my own pre-school.

Hi Lhenni, I am not yet married so I couldn't relate with you. But if I will do have a husband someday...I won't give up my work. It's just so hard to give up...I still have my parents and my sisters to help on. I am the eldest of my family and I just couldn't stop on there. Well, that's just my opinion as of the moment and maybe it will really change as time goes by...maybe it will change the moment I will have my kids..and if my husband has a really good job that don't need me to work. Just enjoy your life as a housewife...^^

If your husband's salary can take care of your household expenses, then just stay home and tend the household. But that doesn't mean you can't do other things. There are two things you might consider doing. Venture into any earning endeavor, either online or starting a small business, or you could also consider enriching your know-how by taking online short courses or even enroll in distance learning education. Or you could do both at the same time. :

hello Lhen, I am a am working part time for many years because I want to take care of my family at the same time. I just resigned from a full time work due to too much stress and having a nightshift is not easy since I still need to attend for my kids. Now I am looking for a part time job again and hope to find one soon...:)

the concept of the woman taking care of the family and the man being the provider has always been an ideal setup for a family. if you feel bored and not into taking care of kids, the house, etc, then probably you need to work, but on the other hand, if you're doing well as a housewife and you enjoy what you do, then see as above...

In today's world things are getting so expensive that if possible both the partners should work. But if your husband does not allow you to go out for work , then trying doing something at home like extra classes or online work.

I know you condition know. I think this though has arisen in your mind because the days has become little boring. If you change this boring days then you will not think of a job. If your doing job for having your money for the family then go for it but if you LOL* doesn't allow you then what could you do. Make changes in his attitude. I think you can do it and you are good at it

Hola Lhenni... Ah, some men like his wife to stay at home and take care of the children. Maybe they want all of you to be safe. He wants the children to get the best in everything and the one who knows what's the best for them is their mom. :) I don't know because I am a teenager but that's my opinion. Just enjoy it and get more activity to waste your extra energy :)

We are on the same situation.I want to work too but my husband for sure dont allow me.I married an italian man he is the best man for me,he support me and my family,but i have this feeling to unuseful if i dont have anywork at my own.i really want to work but even i dont tell him this i know he wont allow me.thats why i just engage here in working online im just at home and i want to earn bigger here just like other people who are earning big online,so that atleast i can see my earning and save something that i earn my my own hard work

Hi Lhenni this is my "man" point of view on your subject. I earn enough (thanks God) for my family, however my wife after 3 years being at home with kids wanted to work again. I was not too happy for it but I did not stop her...so today it is 5 years she is working and things got complicated since then. With the kids we spend more money to have ladies that take care of them when we cannot be at home because of our working schedules, the extra money earned is not really helping because a big part of it we spend in babysitting, cleaning, after school activities...my wife is still stressed for working and home activities,I am stressed because I have to change my appointements due to kids necessities when the ladies are not available, and at the end of the day we are both tired when kids want to be with us...so it is all full of compromisis and even if I understand and todays life is like this...from my point of view it was better before! Can you work from home or a part time?

Staying at home can be boring. Don't you have children? If they you have kids, I think your husband thinks you should take care of them. Your kids might need someone who will look after them all the time.

If your hubby wont allow you to work then just stay but ask him if you can work at home, having an internet connection can place you on daytime job, I have seen some that they make money and bread out of working online.
