Should working moms have the same expectations as a SAHM?

I went from SAHM to SAHWM for about a year, then back to a SAHM. It was impossible for me to make fresh dinners every day so I meal prepped and froze food and honestly, it was good.
He might have to adjust his expectations a little bit. There might be nights where you feel totally up to making a fresh meal but there will likely be other times when you just can’t do it, especially if you’re still going to be the default parent and/or take care of the majority of other places in the home like cleaning and laundry.

If both working all household chores should be 50/50. On the nights you don’t feel like it should be the nights he takes over. Even creating a plan that he cooks these nights and you the others with wiggle room with communication. Also making a cooking calendar so everyone knows what dinner is going to be is nice also. There are a lot of easy dinner planners out there online.

No it’s only fair to split all chores 50/50 when your both working. Why would it be ok for you do more than him ?

My husband doesn’t like leftovers either, but he learned pretty quickly that I wasn’t cooking every night b/c I work full time just as he does. I found it to be unreasonable for me to cook large meals after work, so I save them for the weekend and cook smaller quicker meals during the week.

Hun I’ve been a full time working mom since the age of 20 and one think I make sure I do is make a fresh hot meal it’s not hard if you plan accordingly… all these women saying it’s not possible are completely wrong I was working 10hr shifts and making meals (breakfast and dinner) for a family of 6 (two couples with 1 child each) my bestie didn’t know how to cook so I held down the kitchen it’s as simple as asking the person not cooking to help with the cleaning and if they can’t, split your cleaning into 2/3 areas of the house every few days being a working mom is manageable if you plan accordingly and schedule
