AITAH for asking my wife to be a SAHM?
I (27M) have a wife (23F). She is currently pregnant.
I have a degree and a decent paying job. By decent, I mean 150k a year.
My wife is a college dropout. She works as a receptionist at a medical center.
She has worked there for the past 3 years.
This man’s wife does almost everything around the house.
My wife already does most of the jobs of a SAHM.
While I am at work, she cleans and does some of the house chores.
She also cooks dinner.
Of course, I try to help her out.
Often times, it is all already done before I even get home from work.
He suggested that she could probably just be a stay-at-home mom.
While we were eating dinner, she was talking about how much she hated her job.
I suggested to her that maybe she can be a stay-at-home mom.
She already does most of the stuff. She is also going to be a mother soon.
