To be cross about DH's attitude to me working?

I have recently started working again after being a SAHM for several years.

I usually work school hours for 4 days per week.

DH cannot seem to get used to this and seems to think that a) he shouldn't have to do any of the chores and that things should run as they did before in the home and b) that I can just miss work for the day if he wants me to wait in for something to be delivered or if anything else just crops up.

He is currently in a bad mood as I am working 5 days this week. Today is usually my day off but I was asked to work. After I had agreed this with work DH sprung it upon me that he'd ordered a new PC that was arriving today and that I'd need to wait in. I said I couldn't as I'm working and he was quite put out about it. Of course, the courier tried to deliver it when I was at work, and I missed the delivery, and now DH is even more moody and has been trying to tell me that I will have to phone in sick to work tomorrow to wait in for it. I have said that I won't.

He used to get annoyed with me when I was a SAHM saying I was lazy, so he should be happy that I'm working now, but instead he seems irritated whenever my job has priority.

Actually I've just read your oP again and any man who thinks that their wife's time should be spent hanging around waiting for their deliveries is an arse. I know it's bandied around a lot but I really would have left the arse by now.
