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 ?

No, you're not. Some men thought they just need to bring bread for the family and that's all. I'm father of 2 daughters and my wife is also working. It is unfair and selfish to say I am tire but she is not after a day work. I help in taking care of our children and do most of the household chores so that my wife has more rest. Why I do that? I marry a lady to be my wife not maid. Perhaps you may talk to him and let him understand. He may have forgotten you're his wife and he has role to play as a father. If he thinks just bring bread to the family is sufficient, then ask him to switch role with you. SAHM is not easy. Hope thing will turn better for you soon. Take care. Jia You.

Tell him you're not those traditional Japanese type wife. If you have spare time, you can help him to make coffee otherwise please help himself. This is house, neither restaurant nor hotel. If you are tire means you are tire, you have no more energy to show "care and concern". Even if you are not, you can still say you are tire. You have the right. He needs to learn respect and understanding. Don't because for children's sake, you give in everything to him. You're protected by the Women's Charter. Be yourself and brave. Jia You 💪
