We have two children under the age of three. I gave up a lucrative job in medical sales (that I loved) to stay at home. While I don't regret my decision, I do miss my career and find myself resenting all the time MDH spends outside the home. His job requires him to travel 2 weeks of the month and when he is home he is rarely at the house before 7pm. I am frustrated and feel unappreciated. I understand his job offers me the opportunity to stay at home, but at what point am I being taken advantage of? If we were both working he (or I) would need to be at daycare before 7pm to pick up the children and various house hold chores would need to be shared. How can I make him see that my job is 24/7 and I need a break more than once a year on Mothers Day?

Simple Easy: Go away suddenly to your "sick" relative or something. He will scramble picking the kids up and doing the chores. Even better if it's on a weekend so he's around them. SUddenly he will be filled with appreciation.

Well whenever he gets home, set him down at the kitchen table (or on the couch) and explain it to him, tell him how you feel. Mothers deserve breaks too. Good Luck!

will supposed to be you both share each other for better or for worst but looks like you get more worst than better. you need to tell your husband whenever he comes home he need to do your job so you can get relax when he get home. i know his working but he shouldn't think his reason that his working and his the one earning money that's not the point, he need to help you to baby sit your kids.
