Is it not really possible to remain sahm to school age children and dh have any respect for you?

Have other people managed this? I feel really down recently dh I am not sure if he likes me much any more. I think that he resents me being at home when he is at work. I get little comments from him here and there. Sure I could look into going back to work but the upheaval for the family and for my children I think it is better I am at home 😔 my pay would likely be so low that it’s not worth the upheaval. Is the answer to go back to work even if the pay is low so everything feels more equal?

For some people though it's a choice between working and sticking to one or two children or sah and having a larger family. I'm glad I had more DC - I doubt I would have if I'd remained in work because of childcare costs and lack of time.

Ha, we are debating having 1 more dc so potentially that £100 a month will be for a limited time.
