Spouse Occupation

vote and discuss

My wife is a RN and an RD (Regisered Dietician)

while I am not skinny my wife does buy a lot of fruit, whole wheat, yogurt, etc, etc,

Ever since Mini Ble was born, my wife has been a SAHM. Before that she taught Spanish at a private language institute. She actually graduated college with a degree in Architecture and Spanish but took the Spanish teaching option.

I thought we already had a spouse occupation thread. Mrs. Chucktown stays home withe kiddos, before that she was in marketing.

My husband is a teacher

I'd go with stripper, you know, just to be on the safe side.

Stripper for vandalay industries?

I had to pick 'other'. My hubby is a mechanic by training. He is currently the head of vehicle maintenance for the City here.

I think we are a good team because he can do so many things which I haven't the foggiest idea of how to even start, and vice versa. He also saves us quite a bit of $ because of a lot of things he can do which we don't have to pay someone else to do.

My first husband was a finish carpenter.

My second husband was a computer analyst.

I had to check other, since I'm single, but I really wanted to check "Stripper"!!!!

That's the same as my wife since our little nugget was born. Unfortunately, we can't live like that for long. It takes money to live and we'll need that second income again before long. Oh, she's a paralegal when she is working.

Wife is a middle school math teacher but will be staying at home once Mini-Biker is born, at least for the first few years.

My wife is a post-doctoral fellow in biomedical engineering. Specifically, medical imaging as it related to cancer therapy. Her goal is to become a tenured faculty member at a university one day.

I put engineer since she's not a prof yet.

my hubby is a chemist so i chose "other"

congrats to those whose wifes are full time SAHMs. I did that for 13 wks, now only part time. needed to start using the brain again and be around other people.

mini snick is a person too!

My wife has been a SAHM since all 3 of my little ones have been born. The oldest is 5, the youngest is 5 months. Although she does work from home a bit as a financial planner/accountant type. Before we had the mini-mechguys, she was a graphic designer. Her degrees are in metal sculpture and wilderness education..... but she wants to go back to school and be a teacher for special needs kids.

She's about going crazy at home by herself so I fully expect she'll run from the house as soon as all the kiddies are in school full time.

These need to be multiple choice, for those of us who:

a.) have talented wives who do lots

b.) are mormon.

How do you folks with SAHMs make it work financially? Between CC, mortgage, student loans, and insurance, breaking even in a month without a second income is tough. We don't even splurge on weekends. Do I really make that little?
