To all fathers in this group, what are your thoughts with this situation I have. I am a mother of a 3yo child, and I already want to have a job. I chose to have at least a home-based job. But my husband disagrees with it, telling me na "di naman kami naghihirap" and "baka mapabayaan ang bata". I feel sad. Am I selfish for wanting this? Home-based na nga lang, ayaw pa.. Natatapakan ba pagkalalake niyo? Im really wondering and confused.. haay..

A mom here, but I kinda feel you. I've been doing online work since 2014 and we've been fighting because of it. He is supportive at times, but most of the time he wants me to quit my job. Same lame reason I hear from him - no more time to take care of the kids according to him. Obviously, it isn't true as I even breastfeed my kids while doing my work, we take a bath together (in between work), feed them, etc. He even attempted to talk to my clients to tell them that I can no longer work because I have to attend to my family first. It's really crazy..
