[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good lord I hope he takes it and let you go your way. Do you even work? [/quote]

Yes, I work full time and make about 50% more than him.

So very frustrating I'm the main breadwinner and [b]I’m expected[/b] to do most of the domestic work so he can have a fun job. [/quote]

What does this even mean?  Expected to do the domestic work by whom?  Him?  Has he told you that or are you just another typical DCUM mommy martyr?[/quote]

I mean, when he’s not home most of the time, yea, it all falls on me. Someone has to get the kids dressed, fed, and taken to school. [/quote]

The language you choose is telling.  If you had said “I have to do the domestic stuff” (because he’s not home at those hours, so he quite literally can’t) then I wouldn’t have questioned it.  But the “I’m expected to” makes it sound like this is all some nefarious plot on your husband’s part to force you to do more work, rather than an unfortunate outcome of the hours of his preferred job.

This doesn’t mean that it’s right or fair, but you are certainly approaching this situation as though your husband is your adversary which I can’t imagine helps.[/quote]
