My DH recently said I should be grateful because he works so hard to financially support me and our DD while.
I am currently 7mnths pregnant and not working as I was made redundant when I had DD 2 yrs ago. I have stayed at home since. He clearly resents me for being on a permanant 'jolly' and Im quite sure he doesnt have as much respect for me as when I was the main bread winner and had a good career.
I would really like to feel appreciated for the job I do now, I take motherhood seriously but feel like its only me and other mothers that see its worth while. Instead I feel like I have put my career on hold and will have to start further down the ladder when I do go back, that im not enjoying motherhood let alone any good at it (DH constant snide remarks about housework etc make me feel small)I feel like im trapped with another pregnancy & DD to bring up before I can return to a life where I am respected again.
I feel like finding full time work just to put me and DH back on an even playingfield but I know I will just end up doing it all as his work is totally inflexible.
Am I being unreasonable feeling so low and unvalued in all of this?

Should I be grateful to DH for 'supporting me' while I stay at home?
