If you’re the sole income earner and your SO is a stay at home mom/dad, and your kids are in school, you should not be responsible for cleaning or cooking.

So what you are saying is...and I was a stay at home mom.....I get to work 24 hours and you get to work 8. But this is fair because I am "mooching" off you? What kind of bullshit is that? Kids are up all hours at their younger ages, they make disgusting messes, they need constant attention. It is hard fucking work to keep someone else alive and entertained until the age of 4-5 when they start school. I work full time now, I worked full time before I had my son. I NEVER had a job as difficult as keeping another human from killing themselves all god damn day. I did cook as well, I cleaned but it is not out of the ordinary to get some help. If you have the mentality you do, you will surely end up divorced. A human cant spend 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, doing a job without a break or help without some kind of miserable mental breakdown.
I know. I tried to be supermommy. I never ever ever wanted a divorce as much. I figured, hell one way or another I will be doing the same thing, right? Then my husband and I sat down, talked, and came to an agreement about breaks, sharing chores, and working as a team. It worked wonderfully.
