Edit: for everyone who says I don’t know how stressful it is to be a mom. I am literally a women with three kids. It’s not rocket science to take care of your kids. Basically every parent that works is still helping their kids with hw and taking them to activities. You don’t need to be a SAHM to do that
My sister and her husband have two kids. They are both in school. This whole year she has been complaining constantly about how hard it is to be a stay at home mom but she doesn’t want to go back to work. Even though her husband has been pushing her to do for a while.
The issue is that she doesn’t do much compared to her husband. He takes the kids to school in the morning. The kids have come home on the bus in the afternoon. She has a whole day with no kids that she can do whatever she wants. Maintaining the house is like 2 hours a day. That leaves her with abut 6-7 hours of just being there. I was a stay at home parent after I lost my old job for a bit, really it’s not that hard when the kids are in school almost all day.
Anyways, she came over yesterday and was ranting. They got into a argument about her picking up more slack or getting a job. I guess this started because he came home to a dirty house and no groceries in the fridge. I asked why she wasn’t doing chores or at least getting food and she told me she didn’t have time.
I asked if she got a work job and it was a no. I asked what she is doing all day and gave me no answer. She then went on a rant about how he isn’t doing enough and her husband is being unfair.
At this point I had enough, I told her she isn’t a martyr to be a stay at home mom. That she literally gets everything paid for and can’t even both to get food. I told her if I was her husband I would divorce her since she acts more like a kid than a partner
This started our own argument and she is pissed. I personally thinks she needed to here it
