[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're home with kids, which is full time, AND you're a student. Your husband works a...9-5 or 9-6 job? doesn't sound to me like the inequity lies in the direction of you not pulling your weight. I get that you're feeling guilty about not providing income, but your work at home caring for the kids is income in a different form. Your pursuit of your degree will make you far more employable and open more lucrative opportunities for you. I am not sure why you are taking on guilt, esp, as it doesn't seem to be coming from your husband. Do the things that ALL spouses should do to make their partners feel appreciated, but also value your work, your worth and your own time as much as you value your husband's work. [/quote]

Thank you. I appreciate your thoughts.

My husband does not work a regular 9-5 job. If he did, I wouldn't feel the way that I do. My husband works 12 hour shifts, that rotate and also travels. He is exhausted. He is at work more than he is home and that's BECAUSE I stay at home. I understand why I am here and that my work is valuable. I just wish I could carry more of the load. That's all. [/quote]
