[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Foryears when our kids were younger DH would say, "you don't have to work," he a couple years after I finally took him up on it, he expressed his resentment.  I explained all that I do for our household (we still have cleaners too), and that bnb made it a little better.

I am the COO of our household.  I am responsible for calendars for all of us, rides for the kids (or arranging carpools if they both need to be somewhere at the same time), arrang8ng for and being home to meet repair people or contractors, bill paying, vacation planning, budgeting, grocery shopping, meal planning and cooking, making sure the kids have the right clothes in the right season in the right size, have uniforms clean on game day, have all forms signed and returned to school on time, all doctor, dentist and eye doctor appointments (plus specialists for one child), etc.  Its like I am the personal assistant for ALL  When you look at what the job really entails (even without the cleaning), I am undervalued as a SAHM![/quote]

Wow I’m a single parent who does all of the above while working full time.  And don’t have house cleaners.  It’s called adulting.[/quote]

Right?  I do all this, as well, and I work (and I'm not a single parent, so kudos to you, pp).

What kind of message are you sending, first PP, especially if you have girls?  Undervalued my ass.  Who do you think does that stuff when both parents work?[/quote]

I work full-time, husband "works from home," and I do all those things listed above and then some. COO of the household? Please.[/quote]
