SAHM and partner debate

Anyone else’s partner makes out it’s easy to be a SAHM. I’m so fed up of him telling me how easy it is and how he could do it. Makes me feel so shit bcos all I do is work hard to make sure our little boy is happy and the house is tidy, clean washing and food. I don’t have anytime to think about myself and he just says it’s easy

If he thinks that, I would just put my baby in nursery and find a job and split the childcare and housework equally. This is why i could never be a stay at home mum. God forbit if something were to happen to your partner or something happened to the relationship, you know you have st to fall back on.

My partner is exactly the same! They don’t understand one bit. My partners job has a time limit. Our job as a mum is a 24 hour thing. They would have an absolute shock if they had to it. He always says it’s easy yet he only experiences it with me there to help on a weekend. Not alone 5 days a week x

Does he do any full shifts with the baby and house? E.g. Saturday morning wake up until lunch/nap? Or even a whole day?

I would say you do it then and leave some jobs for him to do and go out for a few hours.

@Zara yeah we take it in turns getting up in the morning with him on a weekend but I think not matter what he’d still say it’s easy just to make me feel bad x

@Jo I’ve done this before and no matter what he still says it’s easy bcos he just loves to wind me up

You are a team and he shouldn't be making you feel like this. Have you had a serious conversation about this.
