[quote=Anonymous]NP here, and, yes, I do (resent my husband). For me, though, it's not about wanting to SAH full time, but to work part time. I have two little ones 1 and 3, and feel like I am missing out on the most formative years with them.

I work a full-time job, and and then also am expected to do all the cooking, grocery shopping, kids activities, lucn prep, weekend meal prep, etc. My husband won't even help take the kids to music class, dance class, birthday parties on the weekends (anytime he grudgingly agrees it is because of a fight), so I am running ragged on the weekends trying to crunch in everything. I have no time to myself at all.

Ideally, I would love to maintain my career by working part time and then have 2 days during the week that I am home with the kids, in addition to weekends, so we could do the mom-kids things that I envy SAHMs get to do with their kids. I wish my husband would help co-parent more, and help with other things around the house. Even simple things like home maintenance, he just says "NO" and then expects me to call the handyman, etc.[/quote]
