One thing I have noticed as a pattern with many woman, myself included, is that they get comfortable in their marriages or relationships and allow one person to dominate the financial support of the household. As a married mother of three, my husband and I decided that I would be the stay at home mom and that he would be the primary financial support system for the household. This was a great setup, but then one day simply being a “stay at home mom” wasn’t enough for me, the workaholic in me needed more, my independent attitude needed more.
