Ok so I'm a SAHM and yet again another weekend gone by where DH gets to sleep in until gone 11am while I'm up at the crack of dawn with DC (after being up all night with DD and her sickness bug)
All I ask is that for mothers day and my birthday that maybe DH gets up with the children and brings me a cup of tea to enjoy. We have this argument every year where he thinks because I don't 'go to work and earn money' that I don't need a lie in at all, not even once a year.
Does everyone view SAHMs like this?
He does work hard, but he's self employed and only works when he really does want to. So it's not like he works 100 hours a week, whereas I feel like my 'job' never ends ConfusedBlush

Trivial yes, but its really getting me down.

This is a really sad thread OP. Realise your own worth, look at him in a different light after reading these responses, please. Two times a year? In the nicest possible way, toughen up a bit. TELL him when you need a break, don't ASK, he is not in charge of you. I have never posted a LTB before, but if things don't change it may just be the best thing you could ever do xx
