[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, you can’t win.
I am a highly specialized physician and make 4x what my husband makes. My salary allows us to have a very comfortable life (and I do feel like what I do has a very positive impact on the lives of my patients). I work 50-60 hours a week, and my husband does most of the child care for our teens.

The kids say I “do nothing,” and am “lazy” because when I get home at 9 PM after a hard day I collapse in bed without doing my share of the housework (I do try to do all the housework on weekends!). We went on a great family vacation to London and Paris last year, and they whined the whole time because it was “boring” and they missed their friends.

You sound like a great and dedicated mom. They are teens. Their frontal lobes aren’t fully myelinated yet. Sorry that they are getting to you. Someday they will be thankful…. Just not now :)[/quote]

You sound like an awesome mom too!  They will realize one day all the opportunities and benefits they received from your tireless work.  Just as kids with SAHMs might not realize all the hard that goes into raising them.  [/quote]
