What it took for my husband to stop doing that was to have to watch the kids most of the day on a day when I was out going to drs appt plus running errands after. He learned quick that dealing with two kids was super hard…much less trying to keep things clean on top of it. He stopped saying I had it easy then…

I’d make out a list of all things I do and how much a person doing those things would make if that person wasn’t me and he had to pay them to do it and give him a bill for services rendered

I’d literally stop doing anything and everything, including picking up after the kids, cooking etc. ALL OF IT for 7 days solid. He may get the hint by day 3. Of course take care and feed the children. Everything else? Forget it. My husband never threw me not working in my face but I feel like he never truly appreciated what I did… until Covid-19 hit and he had stay at home orders and seen and delt with what I did being a stay at home mom. His exact words were “I don’t know how you f*&!ing do it. I could never do what you do and appreciate you on a whole new level.” Sometimes men need these reminders.

You need to plan a overnight away from hubby and kids for a night or two…let him miss you, they appreciate ya more.
This is EXACTLY why I NEVER wanted to stay at home and rely on someone financially. He will NEVER understand how hard you work. If your kids are old enough where you think they would be okay in daycare or if you have someone that you trust to care for them, I would say get a job. Then he will see EXACTLY how much you did at home. But hell by then you might enjoy making your own money and getting out of the house.
He will also see how much he was saving in childcare. Sometimes you can show people better than you can tell them.

Stop cooking cleaning and when he comes home hand him the kids
Well u show him this
Leave that dinner table empty a night or 2 and his underwear dirty and I bet he straighten up real fast. I was a stay at home mom with 2 small children for 4 years and my husband would not dare. Not if I’m raising our kids and doing EVERYTHING but work a job outside the home. He can kick rocks with an open toe shoe

Don’t let him abuse you this way… This is Financial Abuse. My husband still bit*hes like this at me and I tell him that if he had to pay someone to do what I do, he’d be broke…sometimes I laugh and tell him to pack his bags then if he thinks he is so hard done by. This is life. A lot of men work and their wives stay at home and do the housework etc and when hubby comes home he steps in and shares the work load.
Do what the others suggest, tell him your going away for a weekend with your Mum/Sisters/Friends and leave the kids and house in his care with a list of normal chores to be done. When you come back Sunday afternoon, see how he went… and have a laugh about how tough it is…

The best way to make him realize what you do is to stop doing it. Get a job, tell him you now work and will be splitting child care costs and all the chores.

I stopped washing my husbands clothes. Guess who had to wash them. He did. I used to have to tend to him hand and feet until I got fed up because he would always find something to complain about. So I gave him a reason to complain. Now he helps me. Happy life, happy wife, happy husband.

Stop doing anything.
Been there, done that. Stop doing it! Do the basics you have to for the kids and let him see for himself how it would be if you just stopped.
Honestly, I would probably get a job. No need to suffer through all that. He obviously wants you to get a job. Then you guys can split household chores. And if that doesn’t make him happy, you’ll have options because you have a job. You win, or you win.

Don’t do what you’ve been doing. Let the kids do and eat whatever. Then when he comes home asks what the hell, tell him you’ve been doing (list the shit and all you do for the kids and for how many years without a day off) and that today you’ve “called in sick”
He says you don’t work? Ha. Then don’t work.
Parenting and maintaining household IS A MOTHER FUCKIN JOB.
I mean, don’t let the kids be filthy… bt don’t do all the normal.

Tell him to cook his own meals
Figure out how much child care is, how much cleaning and cooking services are and how much you would make if you were working. Then present the information to your SO and see if he thinks you should put your kids in a childcare center. My guess is whatever you make working would go towards childcare and upkeep with the house. Is it worth it? Who do you want raising your kids?

This hit hard asf. My last relationship really done this to me! When my little baby wasnt even one and I was a stayed home mom. Treated me like I was nothing! While I was just staying home making hot meals for him and watching my baby! This is why I’m so sick and tried of this trauma. Little things do matter! If you cant learn how to respect the little things we done at home. What’s the point of having a family at the start?! Us ladies tries our best to stay glued to the family but really at the end. Guys are the ones that breaks it! Then blame us for trying to do what’s right! We keep trying and trying until theres no more fight in us. Even if we wanted it to work then we finally realized that we ain’t the one for them!

I’m so sorry you’re being judged like that. Being a stay at home mom is no joke! It’s hard. I don’t know how small your babies are and to have the opportunity to stay home with them really is a privilege so take advantage Of this precious time because they will grow fast. Maybe once they are school age you can work outside of the home. But remember this…if he doesn’t appreciate you right now. Taking care of his babies, taking pride in your home by cooking and cleaning ( because most women today don’t do that)! Then when you get a job, he probably won’t respect your job either. Hang in there but when the time comes that you are able to bring in your own income. You may want to rethink this relationship. Good luck and God Bless you❤️

There have been stay hat home moms that have won in their divorce decrees bills for the cleaning and cooking services. And the amount you save on day care is outrageous. If give him a bill for your services and see if you can find some of those cases that won their court cases. This is literally a form of mental abuse.

Get a seasonal job and make his ass do half of everything, including watching the kids. I’d even get a Nightshift gig so he has no choice but to watch the kids.
Childcare, job, do nothing with the house and only do kid stuff 3.5 days a week and tell him the days he is doing the other 3.5 with them
Tell him you are going to get a job and he can look after the children - he can’t have it all ways - how old are your children ? - tell him he can look after them and do what you do for a change. …
Leave him with the kids and chores for the day…he’ll learn fast…
Put them in daycare and get a job? You’ll get a break and he can’t bitch saying you don’t work.
Tell him pay childcare for 2 kids then you will work. He will shut the f u
Don’t lift a finger…
My ex used this all the time so one day he had all his washing in the laundry waiting for me, he came home to it on the front lawn soaking wet (I may have hosed it haha)
No dinner was made nor the house work done.

You do work… ALL DAY EVERYDAY. With no sick leave, no vacation days and no PTO all without monetary pay. Stop cooking for him and cleaning up after him just to show him some of what you actually do. He should bd helping you with the kids and some light housework. After all, you’re supposed to be his life partner, not his maid/ servant.

He’s probably just feeling financially stressed. I was a stay at home mom for 17 years and just recently started working.
If he’s feeling financially tight, or overwhelmed it may just come out that way. It’s frustrating.
Make some crafts to sell or something from home to help him so he can have some “personal money” that doesn’t all have to go to bills food and kids. Sometimes it’s just being able to have that extra 100$ to save or spend how you please.

Tell him you’re needing a couple mental health days (on his days off). Leave him to take care of everything while you go wherever you feel comfortable (family, hotel, bnb, whatevs). They learn quick.
Tell him he’s right and then stop cleaning or doing anything, tell him you’ll get your resume ready and start applying the very next day and then go ahead and print out daycare costs near you and discuss which one he would like the kids to go to.
Once he’s paying for daycare/after school, is waiting on meals or eating kraft mac n cheese and the house is a mess and he also has no clean clothes he might realize you do alot. 🤷

You cant make him see it. He is holding resitments for being the financial provider and that’s why it comes out when you argue. I go through this with my spouse. Offer to get a part time job and split the household duties or he can get over himself and realize you are both making sacrafices.
