[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would I resent him?

Look, the only thought I have is what a bada$$ I am. I feel a bit like a superhero.  By day I call the shots at work.  At night I go home and get all accomplished in 4 hrs that SAHMs do all day.  When we go to bed at night my house is clean, my kids are clean, and we've spent time together as a family.  Keep in mind not all DHs work typical office hours and some working moms have family help so their kids aren't in the care of strangers (daycare or nanny) all day.  My kids eat homemade meals because on my one weekday off twice per week I make about 15 meals that freeze and defrost well.  Sure, I miss my babies from time to time during the day, but they light up when they see mommy.

I go to my SAHM SILs house once a month for our families to get together.  It is a mess.  Always cluttered and a million pinterest projects going on and home projects my brother won't pay someone to finish because he is the only one bring any income in.  My nephew gets hardly any social interaction at 3yo meanwhile my preschool age kids have as many friends as I do.

No thanks to being a SAHM for me!  Just learned hacks for being a WOHM and life is good.

Except your SIL sees her kids for all of their waking hours. You brag about seeing yours for four hours a days plus you are doing household tasks in that time.
