I worked fulltime for 9 years before we had our first child. Together we agreed I would stay home and raise our son. We sold our first home 5 years ago and had a new one built, Yesterday I heard if it wasn't for me you wouldn't have this house. So while he was sleeping I taped an invoice to the bathroom, for all the work I do around HIS house. Oh ya and I asked for the money back that I contributed to the first house, which helped build the new house. He did dished today and laundry. Speak-up men or women, raising kids is hard work. Make sure you get your point across without harse words. Money or time it's all 50/50 if it is going to work

I agree, we should be more expressive about our duties. As a housewife i know how hard and frustrating it is. I also left my job to raise my kids. Our men, need to open their eyes to the effort we put in.

Well said. Be a full-time mom and housewife is more demanding than any other work I have done. I guess I would say it's easy to loose yourself when you so busy taking care of everyone else's needs. Keep the lines of communication open and ask for help from your spouse when you need it.

Good on you! I am glad that women speak up for themselves. My ex had a way of making me feel inadequate. One day I spoke up and got my point across. The unfortunate thing is he never learned. I am happily married to husband #2 now.
