CHD2013:

Why is this obvious?

Sorry, I just meant by the nature of the fact that we were in no way expecting to get money for the work that we did, and relative to all of our financial status’ it is not so much that we would be going hungry without it ;).

I love some of these responses! I had not even really thought about it being something more for ME than for US.

Consolation:

Years ago, when my S was 18 mos old and I went back to work part time, H referred to my income as “peanuts.” The situation did not improve thereafter. (Of course, the fact that I was part time was what made it possible for him to work full time and not worry about a single thing having to do with the household…)

I’ve had the same issue. I might understand it, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.

powercropper’s letter is great!
