I'm a sahm working isn't an option until end of the year when dd goes to play school, today I've dropped the washing liquid out of the machine and said I'm fed up of forever sorting things out ( were moving and there is so much to do ) to which he said " hardly, you get to do all what you want all week "
Aibu or is this abit of a harsh comment, I think he resents me in some way, I wasn't nasty when I said that it was just like stubbing your toe you say something about it. It's made me feel like I should be home doing the housewife stuff constant even when there's nothing to do

I'd do just that. What you want, all week. What an idiot.

Unless he thinks all women want to be doing things around the house .

Planning to stay with him?

BurbageBrook · 21/03/2021 21:39

Yes, it was a totally dickish and idiotic thing for him to say... YANBU!

I hear you, OP. I had a similar comment from my dad a couple of years back when my mom had to have an operation. He moaned about how he had to go to work, but still do the shopping AND cook the dinner afterwards... before saying, ‘It’s alright for you - your life’s your own’.

I just about stopped myself from smacking him over the head and managed to point out that I’d spent twenty years doing all of that, and would be doing it forever.
