resentment

[MPearl]

anyone honest enough to admit that they feel resentment towards their partners for not earning enough to enable them to work part-time or be a stay at home mum??

I wonder whether they feel resentment at not having a wife who earns enough to enable them to work part-time or be a stay at home dad?

It cuts both ways - I cannot see how it is fair to expect one party in a relationship to always provide for the other and any children. Surely that is a shared responsibility.

If however, one can provide and wants to provide for their spouse/partner to stay at home or work part time, then that is all good and well - but to expect it is asking too much I think.

every time I get in at 3am from a 'heavy' night and then have to get up at 6.30 and then dds refuse to have a day time nap. But on the whole I know that dh is trying his best to rectify the situation. He does want to provide for us all and wants me to be awake and not tired to actually enjoy bringing the girls up.
