stay at home wives/moms do you agree that our spouses shouldn't help around the house or baby because they work? I feel that we're in this together but my mom made the comment that my husband works and he shouldn't have to stay up with the baby
@nallely94 I think our mothers intentions we're pure but our generation is different from theirs
I get a lot of help, for which I am greatful. My mother made that comment to me also but I don't feel that way. He helps me with cleaning of the house, the dishes, laundry, dinner and the baby. EVERYTHING. I don't have to ask he does it, when I tell him i can do everything alone it's just takes time with a 7 month old crawling around he tells me he's not with me because I clean or make him food. He's with me because he loves and wants to be with me, everything else is just a plus. I started working back in Jan 830-8pm he works 7-4 he'd pick up baby from babysitter, get home clean, make dinner AND put baby to sleep. He reminds me everyday that we are a team, and we work as a team, I haven't worked in a month so now I stay home and house chores gets done before he gets home but he still likes to help with dinner and laundry, like quality time we have. Like I said greatful!
@rawkinmax I'm definitely grateful for a husband and family that helps and supports me great job to all the single parents
I just ask that he takes the garbage out and handles the recycling, I don't like the way he does dishes lol and we drop our laundry off at a service. Lately he's been working overtime, but once he gets back to his normal schedule which is 7:30-4 sometimes later... he will be doing more. Once the baby is here we will be taking turns getting up with him.
yay for honey buns 💙💙 @wafiyahd I totally have a huge amount of respect for single parents, I don't know how in the world they do it all!!
Yeah he can't lose a lot of sleep and still work hard everyday @mommy_faith
it's definitely a team effort and whatever works best for your family is how you should do things =) I am super lucky that my husband voluntarily takes the night shifts even though he works all day...he knows that our son wears me out all day with his refusal to nap lately lol so I sleep in the other room and pump through the night while my boys catch their zzzzzs =) usually I'll deal with housework and let him have some baby time when he's home from work so they can bond and the cleaning is therapeutic for me 😀
@autumnsmomma125 I definitely agree we just take turns waking up at night or we take care of her together
My husband helps with our kids alot but around the house if I ask and am not feeling well
I agree with that. My husband has never woken up with either of our kids during the night, not even once. @autumnsmomma125
I think my husband can help some with the baby but shouldn't have to get up all night since he works and he does help with house work some but not too much.
@mommy_faith taking care of kids is a full time job definitely hard work lol @kbrown91 you go girl
My job starts at 5am every morning as a stay at home mom/wife and doesn't end. My husband does work very hard but he works 8 to 5 and then has plenty of time to relax because I don't ask him to do much. But I agree we are in this together and if I need help or a task to be done he will always help me. As he should. Just because he works outside of the home doesn't mean he doesn't have to do anything around the house!
Yeah that's what I told her, things change @wafiyahd
