[quote=Anonymous]What was discussed before marriage, before she became a SAHM?

My Dh wanted me to SAH, I quit my job and sacrificed my career for his wishes.  He really wanted me to be home when we decided to have kids.  His job has long hours, is not flexible  and involves travel.  It was important to him for me to be home with the kids. We talked about it before marriage and I agreed.

So if I don't do the dishes or make sure the house is spotless, he can't really complain about it.  He wanted me home with the kids and I do a fantastic job with them, but I am not "domestic" in the sense of cleaning and cooking.  I do cook, but I don't meal plan or get that into it.  I hate doing dishes, so he does them.  I do my laundry and the kids' but he does his own. We hired a housekeeper to take care of the heavy cleaning and we both tidy up in between.

As long as you both discussed what you expected of one another than it shouldn't be an issue.  But if you didn't discuss it before hand then you really ought to perhaps seek some counseling to help you communicate better.
