We all like to think men pay no attention to what we do. But they do in fact some men never pay their wives a complement about the house but brag at work to their friends what a great women they have. If your man has to get the money to pay foreverthing then do you see how hard it is for him? it works both ways. I feel for the poor bloke who works two jobs and comes home to I have had the kids all day you watch em I am going shopping. is that fair?

For the most part, no I do not think that they do understand. But there are also many husbands that do.

I work with men who know it's tough to stay home with kids all day long and how much work it takes to be a good homemaker. However, it shouldn't be a contest as to which partner is working harder or has the rougher day. You are a couple and should understand and respect both positions. Some men don't...and some women don't either.

ha ha ha your all busted im a bloke and i stayed home for the first 7 years of my daughters life did all the thing needed to do and i got to say i loved it and ok this might sound a little crasy to some but i miss it now .yes at times it out right hard espesially the lack of sleep ect but i got to tell you i would rather work for my daughter than work for my boss.and i look forward to doing it again.theres something about watching your kids grow that makes it all worth while.so if you are feeling down and unapresiated tierd and probally out right pissed off lol dont look at your hubby with evil eyes and plan to poison his food just look at your child and see what hubby is missing out on because i for one think your lucky to be able to work at home

No, but we can't realize how hard they work either. I try to be understanding when my husband shows me his ignorance about this, because I wouldn't want to do what he does. I remember what it was like being in the work force and I can't imagine the pressure of being the soul provider for a family. It's stressful. Our jobs are also stressful and sometimes I do get upset with him for not getting that, but like I said we both have tough roles to play.

Some men do and they appreciate it. After coming back from work, they'll do all they can to ease the burden of the wife by taking care of the kids, helping out with housework and such.
There are those that take things for granted seeing he's the sole breadwinner of the family; may just turn around to say "hey, that's your job". That's quite insensitive but they still exist.
The third kind is even worse. They FORGET that there's a family at home and start to womanise outside.

Do you moms realize what hard work it is for the husbands who go to work all day to bring money home to put food on the table, and to allow you to go shopping? Neither spouse works harder than the other. They both contribute equally to the household (or at least, they should).

That's rather sexiest! I'm sure there's many stay-at-home dads who wish their wives appreciated it :P

Some men understand how hard it is to take care of the household and children, some men don't. Most moms are great at looking after the kids. But not all moms are. Some men look after kids themselves, without the help of mom's, for whatever reason, but what is most important is that if your partner doesn't appreciate your worth and hard work, maybe there are more pressing issues at hand. Communication helps!!

No they don't, they think it is a breeze. My daughter just started crawling so she is in everything and since i've just started working from home it is so hard to get anything done. I have to stop all the time. Sometimes I just wish I could have a break when he gets home from work but he is tired also. So yea they don't realize and it pisses me off!

No, I don't. My husband has stayed home a day here and there with our son when I had something to do and he will be the first to admit it isn't easy, but he is convinced it is different for women, somehow being a mom makes it easier to take care of all that stuff if you are a woman. I told him he's crazy.
