NEW STAY-AT-HOME-MOMS: Are you finding that you now have time to manage your household finances / accounts?
For example, since I no longer work full-time, I now handle all the bill-paying and have had time to set up our life insurance / will / trust (something we didn’t need before having a baby), check quotes to improve our insurance on other items, redo our investments and move around checking / savings accounts as well as get credit-cards where we get a better interest rate or cash-back reward program.
I never would have had time to do all of this at work (especially since all calls have to be made during business hours) and I am wondering if any other new mom’s have also become the new CEO / CFO’s of the household now that they are home during the day??
Being home during the day sure makes doing these things easier although you are going much further than I ever did. But yes, by default I became the person to handle the family business when I began staying at home.

yep my hubby works and comes home and that is all for his day. my job as a stay at home mom is 24 hours a day 7 days a week with no lunch breaks or weekends, I have to manage the kids, housework, bills, and even cut the grass and somehow manage to make dinner. Much more is put on stay at home moms

Oh I agree. I am kind of a stay at home mom but my kids are in school, so I am back in school and subbing right now. Even though I do all this, I still have all the household responsibilities. Crazy!
