Any SAHM’s feel under appreciated?
I am a full time SAHM for the last 10 months. In between tending to my son, I manage any/all appointments, household shopping, cleaning, online side gigs and bill paying..etc
I have expressed to my spouse (also female) how much I do and how it’s important to me to receive verbal acknowledgement [the house looks great, I noticed this, thank you for doing this..] to no avail. I appreciate the struggles and stresses of both parents who work and those that stay at home, but having done both, I feel that SAH parents have a more demanding “job”. My wife lacks the perspective I have because by the time she gets home, my son has exhausted us both and it’s really only play time, dinner and bath.
We’ve already been disconnected for a bit, just by the demands of parenthood in itself - so how do I get my needs met, if at all?
Any and all advice appreciated :)
If she’s not going to take care of u emotionally then Make sure ur financially taken care of and more. And I don’t mean paying rent bills and food . I mean giving u extra for all the work u do
