Had a heated argument with DH. This has become pretty common of late.
I said " You dont ever ask me or take an interest in what DD or I have been doing all day."
To which he replied:
"You dont DO anything all day."
It stopped me dead im my tracks.
I'm a stay at home mum, with a DD of 19 months. I cook all the meals, I do all the cleaning (he is a clean freak so I have high standards to keep to), I do all his laundry, I do all the ironing, and I do all the childcare. Morning, day, evening, bedtime, bathtime, night time waking, doctors, playgroups etc etc. I even make him his cups of tea - he never ventures into the kitchen.
I do all this because I see it as a job; he works outside, I work at home.
But the fact that he has this attitude towards my role is what kills me.
I got so angry Ive told him Im going away to my mums for a week and Im leaving DD in his full time care.
Am I being unreasonable?
