OK! My H complained that he was subsidizing me, since I've worked P/T since my oldest was 1, now he's 15. I work during the schoolday, and it's a rare day that I'm at work on time (missed the bus) or the entire day (dr appointment, allergy shot, forgot lacrosse bag), and there's no downtime because I'm either working at home, working at work, or working, it seems. So the idea that I'll now have to work harder or more somehow, and find a way to get more money, because H places no value on the things I do for the kids, not to mention the fact that they really need supervision and not just a body in the house, even or especially at the ages mine are (you'd think older kids would just be good little robots), well, you can see I have a little sensitivity about it. Moms at home aren't just eating bon bons. Anyway, sounds like you are fully aware of that, and I'm glad you're putting your kids #1.
