Every normal husband who has a wife who stays home knows these facts. Any guy that doesn't acknowledge this is either a narcissist or idiot

But the thing is that many women do all this and still work professionally and I would say that's truly impressive

Many women do that AND work. Also, if my husband was letting me do all of that, I would divorce him - I mean, surely if I have to be up early, he can also get up at night and feed the crying baby with a bottle. And he can do the HW after he's back from work.

I guess it is very hard not to lose your identity and your self esteem by being "just a housewife"; it seems you get blamed by everyone

Sorry for bad english. Well, i tried to complain about my life too.. but damn, you've chosen your wife/husband and there're problems bigger than that. That's not life's point to whine. Value your life and life of your beloved. My marriage is within an inch of divorce because i tried and pitied myself too much like this but i can't actually. I must bring good thing to my family's life. Damn, i hope i'll beat it and save my marriage.

Wow this is impressive! She is doing what every other family does to fonction! (Slow clap) we have 4 kids, one with DS ,both of us work!

To anyone in a situation like this. Leave. It really is easier, and better for the child. If you leave, you're free of the dead weight in the home that only adds to the clutter. Free of having to cook for another picky eater. Free of extra laundry. Free of his whining. And you're free of seeing your child reach for someone who will ignore them for being "too tired" after you've stayed up 36 hours for that same child. Better yet, if he decides (for a change) that he DOES still want to be a part of the child's life, it just gets better for you. Some of that money that was "his and his alone" because you suffered to allow him to earn it is coming your way. You'll be able to afford daycare and SHOWER ALONE in SILENCE. If he wants quality time with the kid, he will likely end up taking them, alone, over the weekend. An entire 2 days where you're allowed to sleep a full 8 hours and your ex is FORCED to take some share of care. If he's contributing nothing in the home, he shouldn't be in it.

This post "deserves" more likes? "Likes" are not an indicator of truth or the value of the information. Also, this is common sense stuff.

This is a great post/topic, but what I don't get is why stuff like changing the car's oil, mowing the lawns, fixing every single thing that breaks, raking leaves, trimming trees, chopping wood, resurfacing the driveway, repairing the roof, fixing the sum pump in the crawl space, doing every renovation ever needed, painting, installing new flooring, new kitchen cabinets, even assembling every piece of furniture purchased, why none of this ever counts as work husbands do, in addition to holding down full time jobs? And we never expect, or dare I say nag, our wives to help with these sorts of things. Why do y'all think that is?

I’m sorry to contradict some of the comments who say that working parents do all that is listed plus they manage to work 8 hours a day... as far as the children are not with you at work, for 8 hours somebody is taking care of them, while the stay at home parent is always taking care. Another thought: there is no paycheck at the end of the month. So somewhere, the stay at home parent takes a huge risk and the whole family takes financial cutbacks because something else is way more important: time with and for your kids, availability 24/24 7/7

I used to do all of that for 4 kids my husband and myself all while being mistreated and underappreciated by my own husband because I wasnt contributing enough.I realize it takes more then one income to raise a family these days but the second income would have been going straitvto child care anyway so why not mom? Stay home and get to know your babies.Or dad.Just dont let anyone tell you that you are insufficient, lazy taking advantage of or mooching.Especially your own spouse!If you are doing all if the above for your family then you are anything but all while putting up with someone that doesnt appreciate you! Pat yourself on the back.i just did.Im also no longer married and to be brutally honest,couldnt be happier.I hope not everyones spouse was like mine and can appreciate the hard work the stay at home parent does.

Well said. It is such a shame that most women have to have a paid job as well in order to get enough money to pay for the ridiculous cost of hosting, energy and meet the artificially high expectations of their children e.g. computers, holidays, trendy clothes to keep up appearances with other children e.t.c.

Absolutely "AWESOME". This is why I am SINGLE, but I do have animals.

SAHM Or Dad is one of the hardest jobs out there. Especially when they are very young. My partner and I share most things and we are still completely exhausted.

Flip side is often discounted. How often do we hear of husbands being inconsiderate, distant, tired etc? When men and women learn to appreciate each other (no matter the shape of their relationships) things will get better. Being a housewife/husband or stay at home parent is not some arduous task or constant drudgery, but it DOES deserve respect. Having a career also deserves respect. Partners should love, respect and appreciate what the other brings into the partnership, not resent or ignore it. This blade cuts both ways, and that is overlooked FAR more often than wives being unappreciated, imo.

This post is completely true. Although saying that something doesn't sit right with me. Many women don't have a choice and have to go back to work and they find that they still have to do all of the things listed in the post above

and we always forget to say Thank You Mom / Dear wife. They are the angels on earth so we should be thankful for them & understand their value as long as they are here.

I never truly understood how my mom worked full time with all the responsibilities and 3 kids .I always thought she is never there when I need her but now after being a wife at home and 3 kids I salute her . Even my dad who supported her decisions in every way.

I want to say thanks to Dr. JATTO for everything so far. To everyone who doesn’t believe in spell, I was one of those at first. I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to do this since I’ve tried others so-called spells casters and they did not work and was a waste of time and money. However, when I read through the testimonials of other people at this website and after I talked to Dr. JATTO who answered all my questions and was very nice about everything, I decided to give it a try. I figured it would be my last try to get my Wife back. So my story is that I was at my office when my Wife wrote me that he wasn’t in love with me and never will be and that he didn’t want to speak or see me again, especially since she was talking to this other guy, When I talked to Dr. JATTO , he let me know which spells would be most appropriate for me and I chose the ones that was to get her back to me and stay with me forever. As soon as he started on the spells, my Wife came back in to my life! It was a mirac

I raised a child, payed all my bills, got ahead. Without the help of a wife. I would think if a man and a wooman could share the responsabilty, it would be half the work. But hardly ever is.

I'm thankful someone posted this and so proud it was shared so many times!!!! My daughter is a stay at home Mom who suffers from migrains...and cares for her Grandpa who has MDS, drives him 74 miles every Wednesday to his treatment, yet is criticized for not having a job???? By the way she has 3 children 7, 5, 4. God Bless her...keep her strong.

I'm a stay at home mom . I love my kids and my husband . I'm thankful I get to be a full time mom. I wanna give a shout out to all mothers that are strictly that. Yes mothers that work your awesome to but you guys still get time off . A second or more to your self. Us strictly stay home moms don't get that and we don't get vacation and held up high for the things we do for are family's. We get put down and called lazy ,disrespected, truth is that's OK.. we get rewarded by ever Smile, hug, kiss,and I love you mom . So to any one out there that can say why can't we work to. We do its called being a full time mom, a full time wife. Thank you to all you awesome straight up angels that are stay home moms. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

It is called being a Wife and Mother And with women refusing to be those, they are half the problem with our society today.

For me it's interesting that Women still go through the act of being a mom even though it's so much work and they have to vent about it. I listen to all my friends who complain about how a child is so much work and it's exhausting and they fight with their spouses all the time and then ask me why i don't have children. If they gave me some happy stories i'd consider it more...

I think it's about value. When I get offended, that I don't work outside the home, deep inside I'm telling myself that that means I am not valid. (But I do work taking care of my daughter who is disabled.) Earning an income seems to be equated with the value of a person. Not only do we need to have babies, but we need to work outside the home otherwise, we are looked down upon or look down at ourselves. Everyone is valuable. No one is better than another because of what they do, how they look, or their status. I see this debate goes on. Trying to "prove" that I am a worthwhile human being is not a good thing to do and causes deep resentments.

I'm in my late 60s. When I was a young woman I worked full-time with young children, I worked part time with young children and I stayed home full-time with young children. The job I did when "working" was considered highly stressful. Staying home with my children full-time was by far the most challenging and the most tiring. Being a good mother full-time is very difficult.

After the children are fyll time students I feel the wife could handle a part time job. The running of a good home requires both parents to accept different roles when they both work. It 's too sad actually but to be honest it takes 2 paychecks these days to get by.

This was written by a woman that either doesn't appreciate her husbands input into the marriage and family , or a woman that has a slouch for a husband, It is written so 1 sided .

My mother was the ultimate, best stay at home mother. She sewed our clothes, volunteered at church and schools; our family was very blessed to have her as a role model. I wanted to be a stay at home mom. Other than a few months when each of my children were born- this was not possible As hard as stay at home moms work, women who do both- take care of their family and earn a paycheck- work harder. They have to get up earlier, stay up later, do errands before and after work and on their lunch hour. I did not work for luxuries- I worked for survival. My two stay at home sisters and mother realized that I did work harder. This does not mean that stay at home moms have it easy- they don't; but women who have a family to raised AND a job do work harder.

jeez where i live it's "go to school late come home early take care of the kids and the other at ages 15&under" and im that person at home

However, the mums who work do all of this as well as their job
