Her husband is very traditional, and they always agreed she would become a stay-at-home mom when she got pregnant. Whelp, she’s finally pregnant, and her husband was under the assumption she put in her two weeks notice.
Here’s the problem: Today is supposed to be her last day of work…but it’s not! She has no intentions of quitting her job.
So how does she break the news to her husband?
THE UPDATE
My husband, even before we were married, was always very vocal about how he wanted a “traditional” marriage and family. He did not want his wife or mother of his children to work. He said his mom was a working mom, and their household was always much more chaotic and messy than his friends with moms who didn’t work.
When we were just dating, I didn’t really mind the idea. I hated my job at the time and the idea of marriage and not working seemed so far in the future. So, I always agreed to the idea. Well, by the time we got married, I was actually in a job that I loved with potential to move upward.
After we got married, I was able to convince him that there was no reason for me to quit before we had children, and that we could just save my entire salary. He agreed, reluctantly.
Well, we just found out we are expecting our first baby. My husband insisted I give my 2 week notice at work. I never told him that I didn’t. So, he’s under the impression that today is my last day. However, I don’t want to quit, and I don’t want to be a stay at home wife and mom. I need to tell him, but I don’t want him to feel like I lied to him all these years, nor do I want him angry that I’m not willing to do something so important to him.
