Keep Your Hands Offa My Mojo

[Greek]

...she's been pulling the financial wagon in your family, and even THAT won't be honored.

Something about that statement bothers me on some level.
I'm a man and I've been "pulling the financial wagon in my family" but I'm not allowed to use that point and ask for appreciation for it, just like when I do the bulk of the house work. It's just something that needs to be done and if you can do, do it.

That almost sounds a bit sexist.

I think you should be appreciated for what you contribute. At this time in the history of women (in this country esp), if a man is supporting a family, his W should be grateful - since there is no obstacle to her going out and doing the same. I was a SAHM for 15 years before I began working in my field and I didn't miss many opps to make it known that Coach made that possible for our family. And likewise, now that I am working outside of the home, my income makes many things possible for our family that we couldn't do/didn't have before. I certainly do want to be appreciated for that - and I am.

Sexist I am not.
