what is the best at-home insemination kit?
I’m a stay-at-home mom with two little ones—a three-year-old son and a one-year-old daughter. Like many stay-at-home parents, my days are filled from dawn until dusk. I’ll admit, there are times when the house looks chaotic, with dishes piling up and toys scattered everywhere. However, managing two small children is a full-time job in itself! My husband, though, doesn’t seem to understand this. When he comes home to the mess, he often asks—almost with resentment—if I did anything productive that day. This infuriates me! How can I help him recognize that what I do is real work?
Oh boy, I can feel the frustration radiating from your words! The tempting (but a bit petty) response would be to simply stop tidying up. I don’t mean anything dangerous for the kids—just let the toys stay on the floor, and the crumbs linger on the counter. Then, when your husband inquires about your day, you can respond with, “Nothing. Can’t you see?” Maybe even make a dramatic exit from the house, leaving him to face the chaos.
But I realize that this isn’t the most mature approach. The real issue is how he’s framing his questions. Is he genuinely curious about your day, or is he trying to diminish your contributions by pointing out perceived shortcomings? If it’s the latter, that’s a bigger concern that needs addressing.
I recommend having an open conversation about how his comments make you feel—like he’s suggesting you’re not doing enough. Do this calmly and without anger. Depending on his response, he may either be surprised and apologetic or defensive. If he becomes defensive, you might need to step back and look at other aspects of your relationship where he may feel superior or critical. Couples therapy can be beneficial in this regard, but he must be willing to recognize the need for change. If he isn’t, it might be worth reevaluating your partnership, as this attitude could eventually affect your children.
Remember, you don’t have to justify your role or prove your worth. Raising children is incredibly challenging and important—and that alone is enough.
