[quote=Anonymous]I'm a WOHM with a SAHD partner and I cannot agree anymore than this -- if you aren't cut out for the job, quit.

I posted about my DH who has issues dealing with the day to day management aspects of being a SAHP. I make a good living, so my answer was to outsource things like cleaning and to take on meal prep on the weekends/crock pot. I do this on the pressure of being the sole income earner.

It has taken a toll on my marriage. I see my DH as a great father, and someone who definitely needs to find something else to do with his life because the choice to stay home was supposed to make everyone's life easier. While the kids and DH are definitely doing better, I am suffering. And I deal with that pressure on a daily basis. I do not have the kind of SAH spouse who is making things run while I'm gone. It's all waiting for me the second I walk in the door. Money fixed a lot of the stress I've been dealing with, but I actually see a point when things will come to a head. Until then, I am dealing. Like OP's husband, I imagine.[/quote]
