Today, the guy I live with demanded that I get a job or start paying rent. It'd be perfectly reasonable, if he wasn't my husband, and if I hadn't just given birth to our first child. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after presenting my husband with a more than fair request to pay me an hourly wage for being a stay-at-home mom, he laughed his ass off and told me if I want money so badly, I could get a job. He'd rather strangers in daycare raise our babies than pay me what I'm worth. FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend to help me with groceries, since the last of my money went to last week's groceries. His response was to start a fight, then tell me it's my fault my daughter acts the way she does, which is when he finally got me to break down and cry. I'm pregnant with his kid, and I also pay 90% of our bills. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years completely lost it because last night I told him I wanted to move to a less remote area so I can be independent. He shouted that I bring no money in, he has to do everything, and that I that I snore so loud he can hear me from downstairs where he sleeps. I'm pregnant. We are in our 40s. FML
Today, my husband needs the money from my job, but will in no way support me to work. He NEVER cooks, cleans, or picks up after himself. I've got no place to work, except a nook by the bathroom, and I have to manage my toddler, who always poops only when I'm in a meeting, and cries for me. Quitting my job is "out the question." FML
Today, I woke up to my apartment in a state of total disarray. I've been asking my boyfriend to get either get a job, or clean the house. I just had a bunch of dental work taken care of. He doesn't have a job, and doesn't want to find one. I'm tired of trying to raise an already grown man. FML
Today, I finally told my roommate, who doesn't pay rent, to go get a job. He left, came back, and immediately went to my refrigerator to eat. I asked him about his job and what his pay is. Apparently, putting together a bike for a kid is a job. FML
Today, my psycho landlord threatened to take me to court if I don't pay my rent on time this month. I'd totally understand if he weren't my father-in-law, and if the reason I didn't pay on time before was because of hospital fees I'd incurred for an emergency appendectomy. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend he has to stop paying half of his baby mama's rent or I would leave. He laughed and said I could leave. FML
Today, I asked my husband to be a little more responsible, pick up after himself, and spend a little less. I earn more than he does, so it's usually my money that he splurges. He has gone on a non-stop tantrum for the past 5 hours, giving me the cold shoulder, and shouting at me. What have I gotten myself into? FML

I bet he won't be saying that if he went through labor.

Tell him that you have a job. Caring for a newborn. Also let him know that since it's his child he needs to pay back rent for the nine months your baby spent living inside you.

He does know that your OB needs to OK you going back to work, right?

This is complete bs. If it were true you obviously married the wrong person

How sad is this. He doesn't appreciate you at all.

Paying rent lmao

Just tell him that you already have one and provide him an itemized invoice for all of the things you do. I think it's Forbes that had the break-down of what SAHMs are "worth" based on your geographic location

He's not a man

I would tell him to consider the cost of childcare for a newborn, and how much of the extra income you bring into the family would actually be left over by the time your paid the daycare...

I am a stay at home mom for that exact reason. Daycare is really expensive.

That's exactly what we did and cost of daycare would eat up all of a part time salary if my wife tried to work anywhere. Wasn't worth it. Best child care is mommy with baby and that's how we have managed and I'm proud to say I'm making it happen.

Hubby will likely be a stay-at-home Dad as my job pays more and also covers health insurance. In all honesty, he'll go nuts as a stay-at-home so we'll probably have him work afternoons, put baby girl in daycare for 3 hours, and then I'll pick her up after work. It depends on a lot of things...but he would NOT expect me to go back to work immediately at all, even if it is the US and even if we get zero paid maternity leave.

Because she knew the type of guy she married and clearly if he's like this about her working, one can imagine how he treats her in other aspects.
