To think my DH is nasty?

i’ve had 2 kids with DH in the 5 years we’ve been together. Majority of the time I’ve been a stay at home mum. I started my nail business which was thriving and covid hit one month in so I had to stop. I never want back to it because I just needed a job and the nail industry was tough.

I then went to work at the hospital which I loved but I fell pregnant with DS and had hyperemesis gravidarum throughout the whole 9 months so I ended up leaving.

Now I just started another job last week I wasn’t 100 percent sure on it but was willing to stick it out, but luckily something came up which is in my field and is a great opportunity to get my foot in the door so I left today ready to start my new job next week.

DH has just said you do realise my family are going to think you can’t hold down a job?? Like what on earth does his mean by this what is he getting at?

AIBU to think this is just nasty? It’s so hard to be a mum and work and find something that fits in perfectly with your life. It’s easy for him he doesn’t have to do anything else but go to work!

ask him to apply for flexible working/reduces hours so he can do 50%of the childcare and then your work options will be greater.

Who gives a shit what his family think! Sounds like you’ve done amazingly.
