I too ...Congrats on his good review and the raise!<br /><br />I too am a SAHM for now...I work part time for a friend but it's really sporadic, a day or two here and there now. I do some work from home things, but I wish I was more active in the workforce. I totally understand that desire. <br /><br />Hope you guys get to enjoy some celebration time soon!PythonKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124941099164296332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809331509777874056.post-23216269153985818812011-03-09T12:50:01.350-05:002011-03-09T12:50:01.350-05:00Yay for the raise!

Now, though- still at home, but I'm working. And I think that the household/kid stuff needs to be split more evenly.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811697675090627618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809331509777874056.post-89726730964827503202011-03-09T11:37:39.822-05:002011-03-09T11:37:39.822-05:00This is so interesting to me - since I'm the o...This is so interesting to me - since I'm the one who works while DH is the SAHH right now. I'm the one who is working from the minute I get out of bed til the minute I'm back under the blankets. And trust me, I'd rather relax. There's a lot of pressure being the sole breadwinner, just as there's a ton of pressure with being a SAHM. The grass is always greener - on the weekends, I'm so busy with household stuff I almost wish I could go back to work. <br /><br />Regardless, I'm happy to hear that your husband got a raise!

My husband truly is very helpful [but I use his OCD and ADHD as the cause lol] but I have several friends whose husbands are just like yours, except they aren't busy- they just don't want to help her. I think sometimes, we telepathically expect our men to just know what we want- but honestly- they really don't have the capability to do so. I think the best route to go is to just say "Hey listen, I know your busy but at least once a week could you make dinner or just clean up a little I need the help!" I never thought it would work but it really tends to work wonders, moreso than me trying to have rob read my mind lol. Hopefully you get the help you need soon!

Even though we both work and provide financially, all the home stuff falls to me. It is hard to hide my resentment sometimes and I get frustrated, but in the end, I just do what needs to be done.Aunt Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797824011406383879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809331509777874056.post-4103019925324098102011-03-09T06:32:41.910-05:002011-03-09T06:32:41.910-05:00I think many of us SAHMs share the exact same sent...I think many of us SAHMs share the exact same sentiments.<br /><br />Congrats to your hubby.Okahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963135885811964745noreply@blogger.com
