Mothers Jobs Never Done and Husbands that Do Not Always Understand

                                                                                         

I love my husband very much. I think he is a very good father & a good husband most of the time.

We had an agreement, when I was pregnant with Logan that I would be a stay at home mom until Logan starts school. My husband came to me with this first & I whole heartly agreed. That way we know what our child is being taught at such a young age, that our son has at least one of us with him & we can be raising him how we see fit & not some stranger raising him at such a young age.

Let me say I know why not all couples or families can do this. It is not easy first all going from two incomes down to one. It is a bit more of a struggle. It just depends on how big of an award you feel it is for you. Also if the bills & lifestyle you have even allow such an idea. Plus with the extra cost of things you need for your infant,toddler & child.

One issue though that we have had is my husband not completely understanding what it is I actually do as a stay at home mom. More & more I hear of this from other mothers whether they stay at home or not. I think they should call this men's I don't have a clue disease. JUST KIDDING !

My husband does work an aweful lot, he is gone from us more than I would like. I know this also takes a toll on him at times hnot being with us more. He sometimes doesn't realize my mom duties can be just as hard, long, busy, frustrating, physically pulling, mentally exhausting. Being a mom does not mean my shift ends at 6:00 p.m. on weekdays & stops on Friday night for the weekend.

I am raising a child, teaching him, spending time with him, working on the things he needs to learn, potty training, doing activities, & much much more. Thats not including cleaning, cooking, shopping, laundry, doing projects around the house, etc. I just don't get paid for my job in cash like my husband does. Do not get me wrong I don't look at raising our son as a chore or anything it is something I love doing.

Soooooo, hmmm what do you do or say?

Well I told my husband this time, just know what it is I do & give me the respect I deserve. Like the respect I give you for working so much & being understanding most of the time with me staying home with Logan. I am not a lazy mom sitting on my butt eating chocolate on the couch every day & then exspect you to do the dishes when you get home from work. Just don't make it sound like I do not do anything if I have had a hard day & something isn't done or try not to make it sound that my job is so easy there is nothing to it.

It seems that my husband understood when I told him that. Only time will tell if he really understands.
