How to Get Your Husband to Back Your Home Business Idea

"Please -- Pretty Please!! I really, really want to do this." >From the sounds of things you'd think a parent and a child were in "one of those" arguments. But it's really a wife trying to persuade her husband to let her work from home. Getting your husband to back your home business can, at times, be as hazardous as those black diamond ski slopes. This past week there has been a very active discussion on one of the work-at-home mom listservs about how to get support from a husband who isn't even close to being thrilled about your home business idea. Here are a few answers. Men are getting very comfortable with the two income situations that women have begged to have for many years now. When mom and dad are bringing in two checks every couple of weeks, the pressure of keeping that job and worries of downsizing aren't nearly as scary when they know their wife is helping with the finances.

If your husband is one of those who has reservations about you wanting to come home and hang out your shingle, start by showing him a couple facts.
