I resigned from my work to be a SAHM this year, n hubby said since I'm a SAHM , I should be doing 100% of the housework n taking care of children n cooking etc. He won't lay a finger to help me cos he said he is in charge of bringing back the money for family .. is it supppsed to be like that ? How about his bonding time with the kids ? I'm so sad ?

That's horrible. You're not the helper. You're his wife and the mother of his kids. This really upsets me, whenever I hear about husbands who take their wives for granted. As women, we are burdened to take care of EVERYTHING - children, household, spouse, and especially ourselves. It sucks, but that's how we've been built. We can be selfish and just think about our own needs - but no, women, and mothers especially, are naturally benevolent creatures and so we often put others as priority, more than ourselves. You may be a super mama, but you are not to be taken for granted. You should be firm and set boundaries with your husband. Tell him you're not the maid and he has equally the responsibility of providing love and care - not just money - to his children and his you, his wife. Be strong, be firm, voice out your thoughts. Don't let him dictate how the household should be run - that should be agreed upon by you both.
