EDIT: i can delete this post but as i stated in the comments i thought P stood for partner, my ignorance completely of reading fast.

Hello! I am new to the SAH life and am very curious on some advice out there for those who have done this long term.

To preference, I f(23) recently quit my job after my partner (22) encouraged me to quit. To be fair my pay was not contributing to any bills. I got paid very little, wasn’t even able to get 40 hours a week, and drained in patient care. We used my money for fun and our cats. My partner also does not drive so transportation was becoming a big issue. We are moving soon and have adjusted everything to fit their pay. (we are getting a bigger apartment so i’m honestly so excited).

It’s been about a month and things financially are fine, so thats good, but what do I do with my time? What do I do to be a good SAHP? I don’t want to be a bigger drain as honestly this was the life i always dreamed for, but now i don’t even know what to do lol. I have “chores” and an allowance, so it’s not like i’m sitting here unable to do anything. Just with no kids I don’t really know how to fill my time at home to its capacity.

I’ve started tiktok which has been going well as a little time killer, but until that really kicks off I don’t really have an activity i suppose. Maybe i’m still just adjusting to so much free time. Any advice or tips is appreciated. Nice things you do for your partner or even things ya’ll have implemented after years of experience. Thanks so much!

edit: yes i “want” kids , yes we both have degrees; they are going onto a masters program.
