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. The idea of mom staying home and starting a business
that may or may not make money any time soon is enough to turn a
man white with fear.
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.
