Question Category: General Am I being unreasonable?
Mamalette Support Staff asked 1 week ago

Hello moms, please advise me here, I'm a stay at home mum. I have three kids, one of which is a baby (8months). Recently I have been feeling very stressed and I have not been coping too well with just normal day to day things. My husband things I am enjoying because according to him, all I have todo is, watch tv, meet friends, gossip etc. But the truth is I feel like a slave. I am always cleaning, cooking because my hubby likes fresh foods, he doesn't eat anything frozen. I have been doing this for a while now without complaining but the problem is my husband goes to the gym five nights a week straight after work. He usually returns when the kids are asleep so he doesn't get to do anything in the house not even rock our last baby to sleep. I kow it's not that much of a problem although i do find it annoying that my hubby gets to do what he wants to and I am stuck in the house, cleaning and cooking. I want to have some "me time" to do nothing in particular but just have sometime alone without the kids. I told my hubby and he was really insensitive towards the issue. He said why do i want me time, he never gets it. I mentioned that going to the gym is his me time. He said going to the gym was not me time, he has to go not wants to go. I said i would count me time as just doing something i want to do alone. He said i was just trying to be spiteful. I just think if he's allowed to do something he wants to do alone 5 times a week i should get to do something alone too. Am i being unreasonable? Thanks
