These days, online jobs are many. However, your father is not your husband. He should stop interfering with your home. Carefully make him understand... the plan of your family. more

Do we ever live up to our parents expectations? Do our kids ever live up to ours?
You should do whatever makes YOU happy right now and whatever YOU... can live with today. The important thing is YOU sleep well at night every night.
Think: what is it that I want now? The present is a gift and you know your priorities. So throw whatever anyone else says out the window.  more

Focus any conversation and accomplishments on kids and husband... If your dad sees a financial issue, then you may want to consider additional streams... of income i.e. work from home part time.... You can show him better than you can tell him... Maybe he's concern about the relationship (what if their a divorce or husband career is unstable)... It does not matter, you are giving him to much control in your family and life... I know your husband does not appreciate how his father-in-love is managing two families...
Bottom line -: your dad can only advise you... but your family, your life and decision how you live YOUR Life... he'll get over it....  more

You do have a job.

You’re an Executive Household Manager.

End of discussion.

If you get a paying job, then you spend most, if not all, of your... paycheck on daycare. For what? So some stranger can ‘raise’ your children? So they can likely develop bad learned behaviors? So they can be exposed to more illnesses with greater frequency? On top of that, the parent child trust bond is broken or at least undermined .

It’s important for him to understand that you’re doing the absolute best thing you can for your family. If he refuses to accept or understand this, you need to work on not letting his opinion matter.

You are doing the MOST important job you can possibly do for your children and your family.

You’re a grown woman with a family now. His opinion…although i understand you want his approval… NO LONGER MATTERS.
Tough pill to swallow, but trust yourself and your husband’s decision. Be a proud EHM! You’re so lucky! Many can’t do what you’re doing 💗  more

Think about what you really want and what you feel. Do you feel cared for and appreciated by your husband? Do you fully trust him to take care of you... financially without judging you or pushing you around?
If yes, then you are making the choice that feels best for you and your family. Your father has an opinion, and you can appreciate the good intent coming from him, but it's okay to let him know this is not a topic for discussion. You are making your life choices just like he made his own life choices.
If not, maybe your father is picking up on something. Do you feel stuck or frightened? Do you wish you could be more independent? In that case, it might be worth it to talk to a therapist or life coach to start sorting through conflicting feelings you may have about where you are in your life. It will still be best to ask your father to give you the emotional space to figure this out for yourself. more

Yes, your Dad is right,he wants you to be supportive to your husband, you can hire a house help, but you need to support the family,in case your... father or mother needs something from you, you don't need to ask your husband before granted. more

You do not have to fight with him ; Tell your father to read Ephesians chapter 5 in the Bible. You are fulfilling the role God called you first to do.... The devil is attacking the family and looking at these comments people do not know he is attacking . Once you get married you leave your father’s covering and come other your husband’s protection. This not poplar today but the Bible is still the supreme authority do not worry about what people say serve God. 25 million children are in broken homes; I applaud you both find you a strong church and stay with a body of believers; the closer you get to God people will start to flee because their sin will start to get exposed by your light. God Bless you and may God keep you and your family.  more

Perhaps teaching yourself diy projects and selling them later when you get an order that you can show him you earning while being a full time wife.

You are simply putting your family first and your kids especially will benefit from it. Your Dad has fallen into the trap that material wealth... matters more than true happiness.ask him why more money matters to him? Is he expecting you to give home some? The fact that he is embarrass to tell people you work at home (which is what you do) means he needs to find some new friends that actually care about human well being. Maybe we needs to stop watching Fox News or newsmax. They tend to propagate that kind of thinking. more

Hello Listen your Father is worried about your future, you have to think of something to make money for you, never depend on anything or thing,... always have your own  more

Agree with Erica…our culture has crumbled because of this inordinate drive to “succeed” in the world at the expense of cultivating virtuous citizens... for this world and eternal joy in the next. However, many mothers have to work. Your father should give thanks for the blessing you have received to be a nurturing, stable presence in the home.  more

To start with, getting a job as a Secretary has not been an easy one, anyways. However, tell Dad what exactly you are into and that after awhile you... will get a job. Meanwhile, request for job leads and start filing in your application letter. Someday, you will get one. And Dad's dream will have come through. more

If i were you i would tell him, yes I'll find a job if you can watch my children everyday. Let's see what he says.

Your dad is wise...in Africa we say that an old wise man sitted on a stool sees further than several young men standing top of a hill or tree.

you think getting a job as a secretary is easy? also secretaries are learned fellows

That is very odd, in my opinion. Being a housewife is a noble calling and yes, it is work. Taking care of children and the house is work.

My dear work if you can because it's really much better you spends your own money.
