Just need to rant

So my husband works in the oil field and feels that his job is to only provide a paycheck. No helping with the kids or around the house at all. I’ve been a SAHM for about 4 years now and he hasn’t helped in the slightest on the 2 weeks he is home. Now he’s wanting me to get a full time work from home position. Mind you I have 3 kids at home ages 6, 3 and 2. I homeschool my 6 year old and will be starting a pre-k curriculum with my 3 year old this up coming school year. So at this point he is wanting me to continue taking care of the kids full time by myself, be a teacher and a full time employee. I already don’t have time for myself now I’m expected to work 87 jobs as one person and not complain that I’m over stimulated and stressed out😫

Being a SAHM literally is a full time job and home schooling amplifies it even more. Managing a wfh job on top of that is too much for you 😭 I wouldn’t at all and your mental health needs to be prioritised

Nah that’s ridiculous. Tell him he is useless and only serves 1 purpose - to pay the bills. So if you financially need more, that’s on him. Tell him to do his one and only damn job!

I’ve tried telling him it’s all too much, but he feels like being a SAHM is not hard at all. I even put my schooling on hold to be able to juggle all of this by myself(I only had a year and a half left of school) and now he’s saying since I’m taking a break from school I should get a job. 😭😭

Honestly I would be enraged by him and tell him if he asks me to get a job one more time I am done

Outrageous! Not a chance…

That's too much. And he shouldn't expect that of you. I get it, the oil field is a hard and dangerous job but corect me kf i am wrong but they make decent money (BIL works in the oil field as well). But don't get why these guys think they cannot help put when they return... They treat those 2 weeks like vacation 🙄. I get it they are literally working 14 days straight but your job doesn't stop its 24/7. Being a SAHM isn't easy. Lol, when he teturns you go on a solo or girls vacation and have him be a SAHD for 2 weeks... See what he says then. Or tell him he needs to get a second job on the 2 weeks he is off. He's not being fair and being an a$. You didn't take a break from school, you paused to tend and take care of your family and home. Don't get a second job (thats way too much mentally and physically with what you already do. Your babies need you healthy). But don't budge and don't get a job because you are already working too many jobs and are a single mom for 2 weeks and realistically even when

He is home. So no, do not do it.

He needs an education. About Bridging the Gap and about how much you actually do. And if it's so easy, why isn't he doing half of it when home?
