I agree w/ Katie. Trade off. I know first hand that being a SAHM is a lot more work than people think, but I also know what its like to work a F/T job, so understand if hubby is tired. I try & run my home on a schedule & maybe this can work for you ladies. How about telling hubby u completely understand he's tired & agree he needs time to wind down/relax a little when he comes home (even thought I KNOW u just want to throw the kids at him the minute he walks in the door - been there). But just how much time does he need? 15 minutes? Half an Hour? Then maybe u can get that same amount of time, too. Video games, movies, fixing a truck are all luxeries now & so is the time they require. Maybe u can explain to hubby these are luxeries u decided to give up or at least reduce when u decided to have children. You know, just like you decided to give up the luxery of sleep! |
