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 ?

Hi there. I don't think you're being too sensitive. Being a SAHM is not an easy 'job'! Your husband doesn't realize how lucky he is to have such great support from you to leave your job to be at home all day with the kids. You should have an honest conversation with him and ask him to take care of the kids for the fully Day on a weekend to actually see how much work and effort goes in to looking after the kids. Likely he'll realize how tiring it is mentally,physically and emotionally and then be more open to helping around the house. You need to be able to communicate with him so he understands and you don't feel bad. Stay strong and don't feel bad. Mums are the superhero's of the family!
