How do I (31M) be delicate but firm and honest about my pregnant GF (27F) wish to be a Stay at Home Mom?
Disclaimer first: There is nothing wrong with being a Stay at home Mom/Dad
There are lots of situations where it makes sense for that couple
- One partner makes enough to support a Family
- The partner that works is just too busy and never home and someone needs to takes the primary role of home keeper
- That stay at home parent likes doing the household duties
Point 3 is what I am going to harp on. I make enough to potentially support her and a baby. I work remotely so it’s not like I would never be home.
My GF is lazy and complains about everything. There isn’t an aspect of life that she doesn’t complain about
- She hates working. There is not a day she is not complaining constantly about something from work or them actually having her do what her job entails
- She hates cooking. Her diet consists of McDonald’s, some microwaveable food and instant noodles…
- She hates cleaning. Her apartment is a mess
- Too lazy and tired to walk her dog. Takes the dog a few steps from the house to go poop and back inside. If the dog doesn’t go poop immediately she gets pissed
How the F is she expecting to be a SAHM when she can’t even handle this stuff when she doesn’t even have a kid?
Idk how to firmly but delicately say I don’t want to financially, physically and mentally support her as a SAHM. I know I am going to have to do everything if she gets her way.
This pregnancy was not planned btw. Completely unplanned, I’m trying to make the best of it. I was honestly going to break up with her before finding out she was pregnant.
