Feeling a bit taken for granted

but i don't want it to lead to a big argument. Just recently i feel my dh really doesn't notice or show any appreciation for what i do. This is making me feel angry towards him, but i don't want it to get blown out of proportion. The fact is, he works and i am a SAHM. All he needs to do is show a tiny bit of gratitude and i would be happy.

Why are you telling us, rather than telling him? It's his behaviour you want to see a change in.

What is so bad about "a big argument"?

How does he "blow things out of proportion" when you try to voice your concerns?

You need to talk to him, but there's no need for it to develop into a row.

Start your conversation by letting him know how much you appreciate the fact that you're able to be a sahm and tell him that you hope he appreciates the things you do for him and the dc that enable him to work fulltime out of the home.
