SO doesn’t want me working because it revokes his “Man Card”.

As a SAHM of two toddlers [2F and 1F], I’m going back to work. I’ve been staying at home for about three years. I quit working right before I had our first.SO isn’t thrilled about me going back to work. He said that he’s the man, and he’s supposed to provide fully for all of us. According to him, he’s supposed to be able to just give me money here and there.The thing is, we don’t have the money for that. I haven’t bought a new bra in years and my pants have holes in them. I want to work to supplement our income in order for everyone to live comfortably, including myself.I can “afford” to not work, but that doesn’t mean that I should stay at home forever. It’s not fair that one parent gets to work, and the other has to stay home 24/7.I also want to work for social interaction and a sense of purpose/accomplishment outside of motherhood. I love being a mom, but I want to do things on my own as well.Has anyone else gone through this? I feel like this isn’t normal behavior in this day and age.Edit: He knows for a fact that I’m going back to work. He’s just kind of apprehensive about it. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PJCAQl
