**all questions answered in relpies :) To everyone who asks a SAHM "What will you do if your husband loses his job?"

[MommyAddie]

I always see people asking SAHMs What they'll do if dh loses his job. Well, lucky me, I can now answer that question. Df lost his job on Thursday. When he first came home and told me, I wanted to throw up. We have four kids between us and the youngest is a month old.

Will I go back to work? Nope. I don't have to because df believes if you're going to make a woman a mother, you better provide for her while she raises your children. The first thing he did was sign up for unemployment. The second thing he did was call my dad and ask to borrow some tools (the two of them could stock an Ace hardware store), then he took some money out of our savings and bought two cars cheap, fixed them up, listed them on Craigslist and they both sold right away. We've made 4K in 3 days. Today we're going to buy another little car.

He's happy as can be, he hates working for a company and would rather be in his own. When I met him, he hadn't had a paycheck job on years, but I was so impressed that he consistently made as much money as he did and kept his bills and child support current. He's good at making money. The only reason he got a regular job in the first place was because we moved to my home state. Now we've been here a while and he's got the lay of the land, he's ready to go back to being himself and we have plenty of time together as a couple and a family. It never crossed his mind that I should go back to work, unless I want to. I'm currently pursuing a higher degree in my field and he wants me to be free to focus on that and the family, so that's what I'll do. I'll keep being a SAHM and he'll turn our home into a mini used car lot.

My DF likes to do that as a hobby. Being able to fix cars is a very useful skill.

What are you going to do about insurance?

Okay, glad y'all made it work.
This is also a reason why everyone should have a savings too.
Why did he lose his job?

That's nice that he is so focused on providing for you all. I really dislike those stupid posts "what would you do if your dh loses his job"...but I'm glad you guys are doing fine despite the job loss.

How come your pursuing a further degree in your field if you're never going to work again? Just curious.. not being rude
