Do your job house dude. The home is your job at this point. She should have dinner waiting on her when she walks in. You should draw her a hot bath befoe bed and do as you are told.

she sounds a little bit selfish……just like the men do in the reverse situation do…..you can really only talk to her and tell her how you feel….but unless she wants to pick up her act…..there isnt a lot you can do short of removing yourself from her.

talk to her. now you know how we feel. unloved and unappreciated. we come home from a long day at work just to do everything else in the household. either you can put up with it, while you are studying

i feel ya on this one. i too stay at home but it’s only because i was in a car accident and have to have a total knee replacement so i’m off for a while. but i see to the outside of the house as well as the inside. i’d do that for the most part anyways as that’s how i am. but in your case. my man sit your wife down and let her know that you appreciate the fact that she’s tired when she gets home but you were allowed 30 mins and then you were expected to be dad, hubby or what ever and that shouldn’t change for her. i mean be tactful of course be mean what you say as well. in a asking way so that her feelings aren’t hurt, have her spend some quality time with you and the kid(s). neither one of you had them by yourselves and sometimes things happen where the man stays at home and the woman works. its nothing unique and simply needs cooperation on both parts. good luck

I have 2 children and work part time and go to college in the evening. We both walk them to school, then he goes to full time work. I work part time 2 days a week,some voluntary work/college placements. Do all the housework, shopping, drop offs and collections to after school clubs, shopping etc etc. We both take them out to fetes, walks, picnics etc at weekends – proper family time. In all as a part time worker, I except that I should do more and do and only rarely get fed up with my hectic schedule. He does not take over after work at all, I make all weekday lunch bags, dinners, breakfasts (he doesn’t eat breakfast) but he cooks sunday dinner and Saturday sometimes. He usually joins in with storytime, where, they both read their school books to us and we then read a book to them..

The workload between is us is not always fairly balanced, but I would rather keep the peace than be a nag to be honest!. ln the event of a family/friend overnight stay – he gets on with hoovering if i ask for example and does his bit.

Welcome to a typical Mums world – sorry to disappoint, but here is how it is in our house… I think that we may be very old fashioned and would really welcome him to let me indulge in a break on his return from work – but then I am realistic, he is an expert in his field and very hard working, much more intelligent than me, so perhaps take on much more than I feel is really fair.
