[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He works to support you.[/quote]
He works to support his family.

[b]Which means that he works from 9 to 6, with two 15 minute breaks with the family and 1 hour-long lunch break with the family[/b], so that he can provide the extra pair of hands that his family needs at the time.  Since he is not going to office, he has to help before 9 am in the morning and after 6 pm in the evening.

OP works from 9 to 6 with the 3 kids that is infinitely more stressful than what her DH is doing (unless he is fighting hand to hand combat in Fallujah), and she gets some time off when it is lunch time and the companionship and helping hands of her husband, for 15 minutes, twice during the work day.

Before 9 am and after 6 pm - OP and her DH - need to take care of the house and kids - in an equitable manner, together.  If they can't do this then they can kiss a happy and successful family goodbye!

What type of professional job do you have where your work hours after all your breaks is only 7.5 hours a day? And have you ever worked in sales? There’s no such thing as a “break”. [/quote]
+1 Married to a guy in sales. You can't just take two 15 minute "breaks" and a lunch hour at the same time every day and say you're not going to do anything during those hours. It just doesn't work that way.[/quote]
Most of these comments are clearly made by SAHW that haven’t worked in years and never in a desk job. They have zero clue to how the business world. Their only contribution is what they believe happens at their husband’s place of employment - so no first hand knowledge.[/quote]
I am not one of the pp's, but I don't think this is crazy at all places of work.  I have never worked in sales.  At my place of work, I frequently have lunch meetings, which means that I have to stop what I am doing at a specific time and go to the meeting for an hour.  [/quote]
Yes, lunch meetings aren’t specific to sales. Most office workers are not taking a hour lunch break where they can step away from the office. [/quote]
