It's your responsibility as his partner to do what is required of you while he works to pay the bills and you are staying home with the children. If you need a time away, then look for a mom's support group through a church where you can mix with other stay at home mothers in your area and have a break from the children. If you are wanting "alone" time with your man, make it happen and he will be more responsive then coming home to a house where everything is a mess. Remember this, a man's wealth is not in what only he makes in pay, but a home that is in order and a happy wife.

if he cant hold up a job and help out with the kids and house work thn he is pretty pathetic. i would tell him to get up off his ass bein a stay at home mum isn't a walk in the park either. he has a responsibility and he needs to live up to it!!

Of course we're all tired when we come home and want to chill...but he's a dad and a husband. His day does not stop upon entering the front door. A stay at home mom has one of the hardest jobs and her day doesn't end with a time clock..he needs to check his "all about me" attitude and realize his marriage and children need his interactions and assistance. When I come home from a day of work (as a single person) I still have chores and responsibilty. Just because a wife/husband is home all day does not give the "breadwinner" the right to assume its the sole job of the "homemaker" ..what is this 1950? Appreciation goes a long way these days.

my hubby is a stay at home dad and i work... i have to tell you as a mom i see this both ways. it is so hard working all day then having to come home and work all night and on the weekends. while i do help out a lot i expect him to have a lot done before i get home so i can have some quality time with him and the kids... he doesn't ask you to come do his job does he?

This can be quite normal for a man, but still talk to him and let him know it's bothering you. Be sure not sound like you are blaming him or mad at him, because he will get defensive. Come to a compromise about the situation, that way both of you will be happy.
