[quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM and my DH is a high enough earner. He does not have the time to take care of many things at home. My husband has some work hours, but  I do not have any designated work hours. I am on the go for 24/7.  Which means that after he comes home, I am still working and expect him to work along with me for the few hours before bedtime.  This is fair because I could otherwise work the hours that a nanny does and take care of kids and some light household work only. But I am also expected to do the mental burden of planning and executing everything.

The problem with being a SAHM is that you are expected to be the manager as well as the worker bee.  That is the big problem.

Before COVID -
I was able to outsource a lot of chores, and a lot of stuff for kids education (tutors, classes, coaches etc).  It was not for my benefit. It was to benefit my DH who did not have the time to help with household and kids stuff.  When the cleaning person was there, I was still supervising.

After COVID -
DH is home, kids are home, we are eating at home and no cleaning person can come.  So my DH and my kids have had to get off their butts and help.

There is a lot more appreciation of all the work that is being done at home for them to get a super comfortable home life.
