[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can't afford boots I would think you can't afford therapy.

One thing I will say is this, if you're going to be a SAHP, whether by choice or force, your job becomes being the best SAHP you can possibly be INCLUDING cleaning house and cooking.

I never worked outside the home but I do work inside the home, for free. For that privilege I make magic happen daily. My spouse never came home, not one time, to a dirty or messy house and no plans for dinner.

The least your husband can do is be organized. If you can't agree on that, you might as well do it on your own.  [/quote]

I don't disagree with you and we have had many arguments about this. He will do some things during the day but I also think he feels cleaning during the day is like accepting defeat if that makes sense. I will add that he will not clean up the kitchen during the day but will often clean it up once we all get home. I think in his mind cleaning while we are all home doesn't make it 'housework'. His Mom was a SAHM and I think he still might have some gender/role issues about stuff. When we both worked, we both participated in cleaning the house and we had someone clean every two weeks. He has agreed to the family plan idea and I am going to also suggest a family chore chart of sorts. [/quote]
