I notice with my employees that the ones with SAHMs for wives tend to complain more about pay and hours worked then guys who wives work also. Even when the guy alone makes more that the other guy makes including his wife pay.
I can almost tell, "This his wife talking!" when a guy starts complaining.
Anybody else notice this?

I only complain about my husbands job when they lay him off for a week w/o pay.
If anything if SAHM's complain it's because all that entails being a SAHM is quite often belittled and taken for granted.

Most working moms send their kids off to daycare or have someone watch them. Then by the time they get home from work they pop a frozen lasagna in the oven or pick up McDonald's for dinner. The kids or a hired worker have the responsibioity of cleaning house. A stay at home mom does that all, HERSELF. Now I'm just saying MOST, not trying tp offend anybody. If you've ever done it, you understand how hard it is to do all that with your best effort and receiving minimal (if any) appreciation. Now tell me how the (average) working mom spends 8 hours a night sleeping, 8 hours at work, 2 hours of errands or other things and then can "raise" her children for about 6 hours a day? Six hours a day is not raising your kids, just sayin.

Stay at home mom's usually don't have enough things to occupy their time (some moms not all). The household income is also a concern if she is managing the money-then she will push for more income. I have always worked and only stayed home for a brief period. I did not enjoy it. I love the challenge that work gives me and I like earning a ton of money and know that I can contribute to the household. I also manage the household and finances.

I'm a stay at home mon and I do complain about my husband's job but that is because it requires him to be away from home in Afghanistan and he is not even military. I gues that SAHM/W complain because in order for their men to make good pay and make up for the missing paycheck they have to work longer hours and it seems like they are away from home for too long, leading to their minds to wonder a bit. I never have complaint about the pay at all but I guess these other SATM/W are just picking at something else and not the relity of the time spent away from the family. But I guess that is just me and I might be wrong.

They probably do complain more. All the weight is on their shoulders to provide for their family. I don't know many stay at home moms these days. It takes so much to live today that the father would have to make a good salary to afford his wife the luxury of staying at home with the kids. This is what has happened to our society, mothers had to go out and work and leave the children for someone else to raise or kids left to raise themselves. I think if couples want the mother to stay at home with children, then certain sacrifices will have to made financially by the parents. Mothers can't have their cake and eat it too, most people that I have known that stay at home with their kids are on a tight budget and are willing to sacrifice for the children's sake.

Being a women who had worked men jobs, now I get the privilege to stay at home (health reasons) I do not complain about Mr.s work or hours. Since he is a boss he has to go in early, stay late, work on weekends. Though recently they (higher boss) put him on days for a month and this was ruff on everyone. Though I noticed only he complained about home life lol!
You might be right though? I run into other stay at home women who do complain about being a lone etc. I figure they can go out and get a job and see what it is like.....I would hate to have to go out and work in the real world again. I will do it if I have too....

I can honestly say i dont complain. I love my husband and what he brings home (money) is good enough for me. He brings home enough to pay what needs to be paid. I am just glad he found a job where he can be home at night to spend time with the family.

SAHM's can get a little spoiled, they don't want to work and expect hubby to meet all the family's needs and wants. These women forget how to budget and think they should spend spend spend. Tell the guys that complain that they can find another job if they think that they can do any better than what you're offering.

I was a SAHM for almost 4 years and never once complained about my husband pay or his hours...I was lucky enough to be able to spend that time with our son.......Some women just need to complain about everything...
