Busy wife

I think if your husband can't accept the fact that you work just as hard as he does to support your family, then you need a new husband. it's ridiculous, this whole double standard thing. My husband works really hard. His hours are extremely long in the summer. In fact last year, he didn't get a day off for 8 whole months, because of a special project they were working on. I work evenings. last year, as soon as he got home, i was out the door on my way to work, so we barely saw each other. It sucked, but we have to do what we have to do. My husband supported my working all those hours, just like I supported him. We are a team, and as a team, we do what we need to do. I have reduced my hours since my daughter was born,and now only work about 3 nights a week. My husband's projects have been completed successfully, so he is home at 4 every day, and off on weekends again. I couldn't be married to a man that didn't support me.

We starting cohabiting when I was in 3rd yr college.I would have to travel to school for two hours and then back, another 2 hours so I was so tired when i reach home. I would still have to study and take care of the baby before I sleep. He must understand my situation because that's the supposed setup for us. I cannot just stop schooling and I don;t want to. Right now, I am about to go abroad and he will be left with our two daughters. I now it's hard for him to accept it but he must for what I am doing is for us, especially for the kids.

in a marriage life, i think both of you really need to understand each other..because it will make a give problem if one will not accept each other's work..the question is that, as a wife, you still have time for your family, specially for your husband? if not, i think that's a big problem..need to have some adjustment when it comes to work..

I just recently stopped being the busy wife. I have worked because I had to. We need two incomes in order to get by. I just was laid off about 2 weeks ago so now I am doing the stay at home role. I personally prefer to stay at home and be with my children more but I will work if that means we can pay all our bills. My husband is always supportive of me working because it makes a diffrence. I think he prefers for me to stay home just because I am happier but I think that some mothers are happier if they work. You have to do what works best for your family.
