Ask HN: Does your partner/spouse work? If not, how is your life together?
My wife used to work but has spent the last 7 years as a stay at home mom.<p>There is nothing easy about being a stay at home parent, it is a full time job. We had some adjustment when it changed but there are some awesome benefits to it if you treat both of each other fairly.<p>You have to remember if she does stay home that she will have a full time job. Your jobs will differ but neither is more valuable then the other and neither of you have a lock on having it easy. My wife takes her &quot;job&quot; of managing the house and raising the kids seriously and I have tons of respect that she can do it and that I don&#x27;t have to worry about dinners and tons of little details of managing a household.<p>At the same time, she needs a break from time to time no different then you need a day or two off every so often. Different then a vacation just a break.<p>Honestly it will take some adjustment but it has been one of our best moves for a whole host of reasons. If you have specific questions let me know, not that I have all the answers but happy to share any experience I have.
