[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pretty sure if we referred to a SAHM as unemployed all h*ll would break lose here.

Your husband is a full time parent.

70 hours a week of commuting, work, parenting and household tasks isn't much. That is 10 hours a day.

Your husband sounds depressed and you don't appreciate what he does or brings to the home. You sound so resentful that he wants a break after you get home. Again if genders were reversed and a man was complaining that not only did his wife expect a break but he also was still having to cut the lawn and take out the garbage because his SAHM wife wasn't getting it done..

Sounds like you are living a pretty typical life ina home where one parent is the breadwinner and te other is a sahp. Millions of men could write your post![/quote]

Pretty much this.

That said, having a SAHP is a choice that needs to work for BOTH of the people in the marriage. There are plenty of DHs who just don’t want a SAHM- even if she doesn’t make a lot of $ they want her working based on principle and would be resentful if she stayed home. The same could certainly apply here. The two of you need to get on the same page. If you disagree with him being a SAHP then he needs to get a job- I would the same if the genders were reversed.
