There's only so much income your husband has. If he paid you, which of your joint expenses would you pay? ... I agree that stay at home Mom's have worth. But forget all the magazine articles about their monetary value. In the end, your family has expenses. Rearranging who pays what from your husband's income won't make any difference. If money is tight or you don't like being a stay at home Mom's, there's only one solution.

You are weird, sorry...does your husband keep his salary all for himself? Otherwise you're asking for a share of the family money for yourself...like do you expect to get 3k a month out of the family account just so you can blow it on yourself alone? Daycares are normal. Fine for you if you don't want that, but it's the reality for the majority of people. And I'm gonna assume that staying at home was your idea, since apparently your husband isn't opposed to you getting a job. If it was your own choice, you can't expect others to pay for it.
