I was just wondering how everyone's partner/husband has coped with the birth of their first baby and whether you have any guilt being a full time stay at home mum - i also run the books for our business and employees, so not really doing "nothing". I just don't go out of the house to work every day!

i think being a stay at home mom is more stressful of a job then my husband has. sometimes i think that maybe if i just did nothing all day he would come home and be so surprised. i have a job, i just don't get paid for it. i think thats the only thing i feel guilty about. i wish i could bring in some money, its not needed in our household, but i do wish i could say i contribute to the cash flow. my husband wants me to be a stay at home mom though. so no i dont really feel guilt. especially with a 7 week old... my everyday life is just as hard. i think if my husband had my job he would probably go insane. i think my husband is coping well with the birth of our first. i think he gets stressed, but who wouldn't. my husband and mine "special" time has definitely changed and thats been hard on our relationship. but we are working on it.

Being a mom is a never ending job! You shouldn't feel guilty, especially if your keeping up with ya'lls buisness. I thought about getting a job, but I'd figured I'd end up working just to pay childcare. I think if you can afford to stay home, do it! Most mothers don't get that options, and I can almost be sure your little one would rather be with his mommy than anyone else.

Staying home to care for the children not only is a full time job, but it is the most important as well. Not to mention that if you did work outside the home, then you would have to think about the cost of day care, gas and the extra money for "keeping up" your working attire!

I'm a stay at home mum with our 7month old. At times i have felt that i should be doing more, and that we would be better off if i worked. My partner is completely supportive of me staying at home, he has said if i want to work couple days a week that is fine. He understands i'm not always happy at home.
At the moment im so happy being at home with my little girl, i feel quiet fulfilled at the moment.I have worked a routine so im getting more done, witch makes me feel more fulfilled.

Darling!! Being a stay at home mum is the most work you will do in your life!! And more than that it is the most IMPORTANT job there is! No need for guilt.......be proud of the great job you do with your child and be impressed with yourself for being able to run the books and help out with the business.....thats quite the feat!x
