"HOME" work

no not homework like from school. I mean HOME work...working from home. My husband tells me yesterday that he wants me to quit my job and stay home. To that I ask, "for what?" This 2 word question ended up as one of the most heated arguments we've ever had. I've never been the housewife type so it pissed me off that he was trying to make me become that. Look I'm sorry I don't think its necessary for me to vacuum, mop the kitchen, do laundry and scrub bathtubs and toilets everyday. I mean who does he think I am? Cinderella? Well anyways...back to my original point...I have ventured into the home business world and have even signed up with 4 different companies, wait 5. So my husband says I should just concentrate on those 5 businesses and forget about working outside of the home. The thing is, how am I supposed to "WORK" at home while doing all the things he wants me to do since I won't be working outside the home anymore? How am I supposed to concentrate on my businesses when he's already got a "chore" list waiting for me? I love the job I have, but he's right. It doesn't make the income that would actually be beneficial for us to send juju (my 4 month old) to daycare every other day. He calls my paychecks gas money. I should be happy that I don't have to work, but the thing is I really do enjoy it. And to that he added, well just work at home. How do I tell him that in order for me to work at home my "chore" list has to be drastically cut down?

Hi... I'm 3 men and a mommy. I enjoyed reading through your blog. If you need a humorous moment, check out a site run by 2 SAHMs. It's called www.PlanetMomTShirts.com, and we sell cotton apparel that's embroidered with irreverent expressions geared toward moms. Lines include: "Whine? No. Wine? Yes.", "I need a playdate", "Nanny Deprived", "Seeking Tall, Dark, Rich cup of coffee", "Mother Superior", "Secretary of Transportation", etc.
Our apparel was worn by comedienne Kathy Griffin on her reality show, and we count Cynthia Nixon, Cindy Crawford and Brooke Shields among our fans.
