Hi , need to rant and need a listening ear.. I’m a SAHM with absolutely no help .. have two children ages 4 & 2. My hubby just told me that he has accepted a job task to go overseas for 1 week. Which means that I’m gg to be left alone to take care of housework and Children and sending n fetching of kids etc all by myself . I have no other help . I don’t know why but my heart is v unhappy why my hubby can just accept job task that require him to go overseas n leave me alone to take care of everything every day in his absence . I know some ppl may say it is only 1 week .. just be happy that my hubby can get a break overseas from Kids and all but I Jus cannot feel happy for him .. I feel why he never consult me first before accepting the overseas work task . He only informed me , “ second week of nov I’m gg on a work trip overseas .” I’m feeling really upset :( he always tell me since I’m a SAHM, I should handle everything at home since I didn’t bring income home. So maybe he don’t see the need to consult me or ask me if I can cope alone :(

I'm not siding him but given that you are a housewife, one of the job scope is to manage the household. His job scope is to earn money and provide for the family. if you are upset with him not consulting you, maybe you can speak with him to set up a process to discuss the issue. If you feel you want an equal say, go back to work and put your children in child care. Can't have the cake and eat it.
