Also, you are currently a[b] sahm, so the house work is on you[/b]. That changes when you start working. [/quote]

:shock:  Says who? DP here. I am a SAHM and the housework is not on me. I stayed home because I had a kid and DH and I could not give the time and care to  our baby when both of us were working. I was not SAH when we didn't have kids.  I am not a "SAH-do-all-household-shit" person, I am a SAH [u]mom[/u].  I am 100% available for my kids, I am not 100% available for the household chores and for my DH.  My DH knows that if ever he will expect me to do the household chores because I am not drawing a paycheck, I'll happily go back to work and pay someone else to do the chores.  If my DH SAH, I would not expect him to do the housework either. That can be easily outsourced.

If you cannot stand doing household chores, and you cannot afford to hire help, and the expectation is that you will be a maid too, then maybe you should really evaluate if you want to be a SAHM.  Incidentally, most WOHMs are also doing a large share of the household chores because they cannot outsource these chores because of finances or time to manage  it. Isn't that the whole bitching on this forum about? Its not as if working outside of the home is getting all the women emancipated from household chores.  SAHM or WOHM - if you cannot do the chores, kindly spend some money and outsource. And if for financial reasons you cannot outsource then maybe you should just endure it without subjecting others to your sorry saga.[/quote]

How long have you had this arrangement?[/quote]
