[quote=Anonymous]You’re a SAHM, meaning 45-50 hours a week, you raise kids on your own. 45-50 hours a week, your DH does his job elsewhere. Your off work time is evenings and weekends. You feel like you’re doing a lot more because you’re with the kids 24/7, but you’re not. Part of the time is your job, part of the time is just parent duties. Your DH probably should be more involved on the weekends, but he has his job, you have your job, and it’s not crazy that the off time balance skews to one parent. Pretty typical in fact. My dad had two weekend duties for me - pick me up from gymnastics on Saturday at noon, and pick me up from dance on a Sunday at 9pm. My SAHM did everything else in the evenings and on weekends. Maybe ask DH to take on a regular kid related task on the weekend and see how it goes. [/quote]
