ACJ, I do work but it's very limited part-time. H brings in anywhere from $6000 to $10000 a month (gross) while I only bring in about $1000 each month. My earnings mainly go to gas for my car, my cellphone bill, and groceries. H pays for everything else


Please don't sell yourself short here GF. I'd like you to carry out a little exercise. Find the numbers of some nannies/daycare. Do some research and find out which ones are the BEST .Like me you have 3 wonderful children. Daycare for this amount of children does not come cheap. I want you to work out how much you are

SAVING
your H by being a SAHM. I know your reasons for being a SAHM are not purely financial (at least mine weren't). So when you have found out the cost of this daycare then put an 'added value' figure on top of that which reflects the 'value' your boys are receving by having thier mum there for them 24/7.

Now tell me again how much you contribute to the income/wellbeing of your household
