Confessions - I want to work, my husband wants a stay-at-home mum

Today Anna tackles a new anonymous Confession from the Therapy Room; "My husband really wants me to be a stay at home mum and has very traditional ideas about how we should live. I used to. think this was what I wanted too but lately I've been feeling like I really need something else to fill my days beyond the children and the housework. I'm nervous about what this might do to our marriage and also a bit overwhelmed about where to start when it comes to starting a search for a job." Anna replies with some compassionate advice and tips that will help everyone, regardless of whether they can relate to this confession or not. Please note - the names and voices of some of the Ask Anna/Confessions contributors may have been changed at their request.
