I've got two young children, one in school and one a baby. I've worked part time since the eldest was born. I'm in a job share.
I'm quite happy working part time, dh is happy with me working part time because he earns more, and his job doesn't allow any flexibility at all. Not much annual leave, early starts, late finishes with no notice it's impossible for him to do any pick ups/drop offs or be around if one of the kids is sick.
We've got no plans to change anything for the foreseeable.
We've got enough money to live on, my take home pay isn't bad at all for part time salary.
Despite this, every time I see fil he has to make comments about me working.
Things such as saying I should work more hours because we'd have more money.
Saying he's surprised I'm allowed to get away with working the hours I do. How it's 'not right really'.
Asking when I'm upping my hours or always saying in passing 'I suppose you'll be working more hours soon'.
Asks why I don't just put the baby in the crèche at work, even though there isn't one and I've never suggested there was.
I've tried to gently put him right but still get the comments every time.
All this despite mil not having worked until dh finished secondary school.
