[quote=Anonymous]I SAH as much for myself as for my kids. I’m just not willing to do everything to run a household and work FT too. I personally think society asks way too much of working moms. My husband helps some, and definitely fancies himself a “modern husband”, but at the end of the day I am the one buying and making healthy food, making sure the kids clothes and shoes fit, booking their activities and following the parent emails/group chats, making sure they have their secret Santa/white elephant/cookie exchange items, making their their dental appts etc. Yes I know plenty of working moms do all that and work too. I’m just not going to. Why does DH just get to work, and show up at the concerts and games (that I put on his calendar) but not have to think about the nitty gritty? I don’t discuss this with him any more because he gets super defensive and upset saying he’s “better than a lot of dads” but he just doesn’t lean forward on any of the kid management stuff at all. He thinks because he mows the lawn (and not often enough) and set all the bills and investments to autopay that he’s doing 50%. [/quote]
