me and my husband argues about this all the time. he works i stay home and take care of the kids. he says i dont even work and that all i do is stay home. yea that pissed me off. my job is 24/7 non stop. it's hard doing this. when he comes home he doesnt help either. the first thing he'll say is...is there something to eat and starts complaining about how i do nothing all day.

Yeah I would be pretty mad at that too. I am a stay at home mother myself and I am in the same boat. I feel bad because he makes me feel worthless, but I truly feel like I do more work. It is really tough to stay home all day and all night with children. At least he gets to get out of the house, you are stuck all day. You may not earn an actually paycheck with money, yours is the satisfaction of your children. I have threaten my husband with me not doing his laundry and stuff like that but it never works. It is very frustrating. Try and make him take care of the kids some time when he is off work. Maybe he will realize that it is more work than he thought.

Let him stay home with the kids for a week. I don't stay at home but my finace thinks that because I have an office job and he does construction that I really don't work. He say's he works harder. I work all day, and then come home and work and take care of our child. Men just don't understand. Good luck getting him to see things your way.

I unfortunately used to be one of those guys, until I had a complete reversel done to me, where I stayed at home with the house work and the kids, let me tell ya, I gladly went back to work right quick, tell your husband to give you a whole weekend off, and let him take care of what you do just for one weekend, but be sure to not do the laundry, dishes, shopping, etc.. for a week then leave him to it and see what he has to say after one weekend.....
