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 ?

No, I don’t think that’s the way it’s supposed to be. He thinks he’s earning to pay u to stay home but you’re worth way more than that. Make him stay home for a few days when he’s on leave with the baby and then he’ll know how it’s like. For me, I’m a SAHM too and expecting our first kid in Jun. I cook dinner for him every night, even weekends but my hubby helps to cook weekends lunch and do some simple chores like washing and hanging laundry on weekends and vacuuming the floor whenever. I’ve told him that when baby arrives, he’s expected to help out with baby like feeding, bathing and changing baby, etc. And that’s the basis of my agreeing to having one in the first place - cos he said he will take care whenever possible, ie, when he’s home.
