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 ?

Hi, hope your decision to resign was a mutual agreement. When I became a SAHM 6 years ago, my hubby didn't specifically task me to do housework. But he expected to come home to home-cooked meals, our home spick and span and the kids ready for bed. It seemed like an uphill task in the beginning but since we could not afford any help outside, I was determined to do my best. So I did everything - laundry, cleaning, buying groceries, cooking, tutor my kids etc. But I didn't have to work 24/7 like most SAHM. I just do a proper time management. My kids and I stick to routines and I plan everything e.g weekly meal plans, daily chores. When you do it out of love for your family, the responsibility will come naturally. The rewards are unmeasurable and you will feel accomplished once you learn how to manage time efficiently. Good luck!
