[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think the OP’s original post lacks accountability. She is resentful because her DH does not make enough so that she can quit her job and stay home (paraphrased of course).  So she is placing the entire blame for the situation on her DH and his lack of income.  I think OP needs to look in the mirror.  Did she just wake up last week and decide that she wanted to SAH?” Did she just realize that DH made X dollars a year?  Probably not!

I would be more sympathetic had she said something like “I am resentful of the situation because I would like to SAH, but DH and I failed to adequately plan for it.”  Hell, she works too and she could have been putting money in the bank or doing something to facilitate the SAH transition.  Or she could have taken a high paying job before the kids and banked it with the expectation that she would SAH once she had kids. But to point at her DH and say “It is his fault and I resent HIM because I cannot SAH” shows me that she is not owning up to her share of the blame. She should resent herself too.
