I've been a SAHM to DC age 7 and 5 until recently when I managed to find a job fairly locally with hors that fit in with DC (9am -2:30pm). I do this Mon to Fri. I drop off DC before work and am finished in time to pick them up. Before this I expected to do all housework and DH came home to a meal, everything done etc. I was completely happy with this and in fairness so was he and he didn't particularly want me to get a job - no pressure at all from him. Now I am working I still do Everything I did before house and DC wise as well. I feel pretty frazzled. When I mention this to DH he either says I don't have to work (is reduce my hours which is not an option), or some comment about now I know how he feels. I'm starting to feel pretty irritated with him but don't want to become one of those couples who competes with who does the most. He starts work at 8 until 5.
