[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The gymnastics this forum does to support whatever decision a stay at home mom makes is insane.  [/quote]

I don’t think so.  If this had been a SAHM complaining that her husband worked weekends, she would be roasted.  [/quote]

Especially if he worked weekends “just because he liked his job” and didn’t need the money.  Or had some hobby that did all weekend[/quote]

She would probably be told that she didn’t understand what it was like to do his job or why he needed to be available on weekends, that she didn’t understand their finances well enough to know if they needed the money or not, or that she should just use the extra money to hire help.

Are you all insane? That narrative would never happen on DCUM.  If a guy was working a ton and worked all weekend too, 99% of the responses on this forum would be to divorce him because he's a good-for-nothing manchild, and btw make sure you don't get a job first so you can milk him for all of that extra money he's earning.  I have NEVER seen this forum defend a guy who works too much.  Hence, the nut response above that the OP should just take Tuesdays off. [/quote]

You’re being silly. If a man was a SAHD during the week and took a job on weekends for his own sanity and to help out financially people would say he was a saint. I don’t know a single man willing to sacrifice his career for the kids who didn’t feel like that entitled him to a ton of personal time off in the form of gaming or what have you.[/quote]

Hahaha SPOT ON. It's sounds like she's doing things with her life..maybe something else will come out of volunteering in hospice, apartment concierge. At least you have a happy wife! [/quote]
