I can so relate to what has been said in this thread.
This is a sruggle I am so dealing with right now. If you guys were to ask my husband if he helped around here he would look you all in the eyes and say heck yeah I do a lot to help. Okay but in reality here is an example.....
Me.... Most of the time I do yardwork Pay bills Run errands Work Clean House Cook Shop ( for groceries and house needs) Attend Teacher Meetings Help with homework Get the Kid's ready and to school
Hubby
Takes garbage out Cooks on occasion Picks kid's up from school Will fold laundry and leave it on the table from time to time
I find myself exhausted most of the time and feeling a lot of resentment. I have been very LD since starting school. I just feel like I have so much on me right now. If I say anything to him then I am seen as a nag! See the dynamics greatly changed in my house. I was a SAHM for many years. 10 years to be exact. For the last two I have worked. So I use to do everything and was happy to do it as I didn't work. But the dynamics have changed and my husband has this old fashioned attitude just like his dad and think women should do it all. It is their job. They have very old fashioned values about the women's place in the home except for the old fashioned value that women were not supposed to work. They are all for the woman working.
