Ugh..I just told dh that I read a blurb that Tiger woods may be retiring because of his bad legs. He got all sarcastic and said oh poor tiger can't hit a little ball around anymore because of a pain in his knee. I found this so pissy on his part. I'm not a golf fan but I do feel for someone who can't do what they love anymore because of a physical condition(I have chronic back issues). Then dh says well it's not like he's doing what I do all day (dh has a very physical job) THEN HE SAYS..you don't understand because YOU JUST SIT HOME ALL DAY. OMG I can't believe he went there. I'm a sahm with 2 kids, pg with #3 and have my back issues. I hardly JUST SIT HOME..I do all this with no hired help. He didn't understand why I didn't like his comment that he made toward me..and stormed off to the room. UGH. he just can't never say he's wrong [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Offer to switch roles. You'll get a WOH job, he can care for three children. If he's not willing to negotiate with screaming toddlers (give me screaming clients any day, thank you), then he can shut up. [ Reply | More

op: I'm just shocked that he went there and said what he did. He said I'm taking it too personally. I told him he made it personal how else could I take it. [ Reply | More

DH and I both WOH in very demanding jobs. We both earn roughly the same. And just because I get home a bit earlier than he does, he will make some stupid comments about my "sitting at home". [ Reply | More

I agree with the suggesting switching places. Find a job that pays at least what his does, tell him he has to quit and take care of the kids. Too bad he can't give birth to them too! (Full-time wohm here) [ Reply | More

Men are an entitled bunch. One Thanksgiving I commented that all the men were sitting around and the women were cleaning. My brother started yelling, I work all day, I pay the mortgage.... I laughed and said, Well, you don't pay my mortgage! He just stomped off. My sil had quit her job to go back to school, but her profit sharing from her job paid the down payment on their house....
