Lack of appreciation re ds

[vvvvfedup]

I gave up work to have ds 5 years ago. He's a beautifully behaved, lovely sociable boy. Many people tell me I've done a great job for him to be the way he is. When i mention it to dh, he says it's not just because of me, but him too. dh is very ood with him generally, however having given up work and me doing everything like socialising him, potty training, most of discipline, nursery & school runs and associated issue, etc I feel I've done alot more in terms of him upbringing. I'm not at all dismissing dh's input, but would love to have the same appreciation/compliments for dh as i get from friends, mum& even mother in law!
Am i being uneasonable to want some apprecation for my input

i also dont think men realise what it is for a woman when we have children. as much as we love it they really do consume most, if not all, of your time. consider when youre out for lunch with your dc, you will no doubt be sitting with your dh but guess who has got one eye on your meal and the other eye on the children - yes the MOTHER! not the father! imo men really dont have a clue just what us mothers do day in day out, and probably therein lies the crux of the matter. unfortunately unless you disappeared for a week its unlikely hubby will ever appreciate how much input you truly have on a daily basis. you are not alone, however in how you feel

Agree with the person who said - maybe its time to go back to work, possibly part-time? Have a feeling you're getting a bit resentful? Not having a go at you at all by the way. Being full time stay at home mum isn't the right thing for some.
