I know I shouldn't, and he insists that our money is exactly that....our money. But I feel deep down that he is resenting the fact that he's bringing in the money and sees me being at home with a one year old (and pregnant with another) as time off.
There was an argument last night which has set me thinking. I tell him how grateful I am at his support and that he works so hard to provide a good life for me and the boy. I am grateful that he earns a good wage thanks to his hard work, so that I can stay at home with the baby. I tell him this, but it never seems to be reciprocated, he never tells me what a good job he thinks I am doing.
Sorry, this isn't a rellie issue.
Does any other SAHM feel guilt or whatever at being at home and being a 'kept women' as it were?
