[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just gave some thought about a similar topic over the weekend.  SAHM wife always complains she is not "compensated" for all she does to care for the house, the kids, etc. Then I thought to myself, neither am I. I basically get in the morning and go to work every goddamned day to pay for everything my family needs - the roof over their heads, the clothes on their backs, the food on their table, etc.  Rarely, if ever, to I spend any of the money I earn on anything for myself (and, no, a power drill to fix things around the house doesn't count anymore than the latest vacuum cleaner).  I don't regret any of it.  That is my role.  But by God, do I sometimes feel taken for granted.

I don't think a little "thank you" for taking care of me and the kids.[/quote]

Are you the OP? You sound spitting mad and done with the marriage. SAHM is one of the least glamorous jobs there is. Nanny, housekeeper, cook, driver, book keeper. Try paying for all of that out of pocket... But never mind that, the relationship has soured. You want to be in Russia, she wants to be in the US. On one level it is as simple as that.[/quote]
