Need to ventilate all out. Need a listening ear.. I'm a SAHM starting jan this year looking after my two kids .. 4 & 2 years old . My Husband really hurt my heart when he said that I'm having a good life being a SAHM , whole day doing nothing .. while he slog outside n bring income for family . Unless u have been a full time SAHM , u won't understand how challenging it can be being a SAHM . I feel sad n hurt. Being a SAHM is not an easy task but I'm happy to take up this challenge especially seeing my children grow n reach different milestones . But my feeling is hurt over n over again when my hubby says that . Because I'm a SAHM, he doesn't really wanna help me with taking care of children. He sees me like a SAHM n so naturally all these are under my scope of work :( I'm so sad . Am I being too sensitive ?

You r not being sensitive. I think u have every right to feel upset. Being appreciative of each other is basic respect in every marriage regardless how small of big the things we do for each other. You should have a chat with your hub and let him know how u feel. Don’t make it into a blaming game because marriage is really about teamwork. Doesn’t matter who does more or less, who’s more tired - not a competition. At the end of the day, it’s finding a balance and understanding who does what best and what what works best for the family as a whole right? Sit him down and talk to him. Help him to understand what u r feeling and going through. Good luck mummy!
