Feeling unappreciated by partner

I have three young children and I think I am doing a pretty good job in bringing them up but I feel underappreciated by my husband. E've been married for 10 years and over the years he jsut takes me for granted. My youngest son is now 7months old and I am going back to work part-time in order to help contribute to our earnings meanwhile he doesn't take me seriously. I'm like his PA already. I do everything for him but I feel like he doesn't care. Anyone out thier feel the same.

sorry no-one's answered this. Maybe do another one in the relationships topic rather than post natal clubs.
Well done for knowing you're doing a good job!

You need to use this new job to make some changes. Maybe think of three things you'd like him to do for himself/the family and say it's important to you that he do them. Don't expect him to understand a general whinge about needing to help more. You want to see some tangible results. That should help get him to take you seriously.

Good luck hope you enjoy the job!

Have you sat him down and explained how you feel?
