Jus had a quarrel with my hubby.. I'm a SAHM . I have Two kids. Every day after my hubby's work , I desire that he spend a bit of time to bond with our kids. Jus 30 mins is good cos I understand that he is tired after work so I try to be reasonable . Jus now we started to have some disagreement over something n he begins to say things like give him a break after work , he is tired n can't help out so much with the kids.. etc.. he Meant to say that I'm a SAHM , I should do everything , why involve him n ask him to help with this n that. Though I'm a SAHM but my role is not easy too n i feel tired too after one whole day of looking after kids, cooking , housework etc. I don't laze around , I work hard the whole day too. Then he told me if it is so hard for me to be a SAHM , then I should jus quit being a SAHM n go out to work . At least I can bring home income.. I feel so upset .. am I really v demanding ? Sob.

I totally feel you. You're not being demanding, you're just doing your best to be a good Mom and Wife. It's not easy for you holding up the fort at home, while your Husband might feel the same bringing the bread home. Most of the time, after a hard day at work, the men just want their "me" time, I'm not sure if you feel the same after running the household for the whole day. Setting a time frame for him to fulfill these duties may cause stress, as it could be that he does not want to let the kids down. Let him set his own pace and try to build a mutual understanding about how both you want to play your individual roles, be it the upbringing, playtime, studies, etc. Don't forget to take care of yourself as well, while doing your mummy and wife duties.
