I get the attention part but that might be for numerous reasons considering someone’s upbringing and the environment they themselves were raised in, schooling probably. But what IF your hubby wasn’t appreciative of what you did everyday considering its all for him. Its a what if, but how would you react or feel? Maybe that’s where it starts from. Not all moms are whiney, sometimes they really are screaming out for attention their not getting. Like someone said, you don’t know the ins and out of a marriage to realize where they are coming from.

I think though your talking about girls who were never really career people anyway and chose not to necessarily work ever unless they wanted to. Like people who knew motherhood would be their occupation from day 1. Honestly, in that regard that’s why I feel like its so important to make sure you always keep all your options open and you have something else to fall back on because “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.” Reality hits sometimes when it’s too late.

As the saying goes. "We accept the love we think we deserve, " what is wrong in expecting gratitude and appreciation, I show my partner appreciation on a daily basis because it makes her feel good and that is what is the most important thing, you are supposed to make your loved ones feel good, what kind of love is that where you are arguing about who did more and needs applause, Isn’t it for better or for worse, what if one partner gets handicapped and the other one has to do it all, aren’t we still supposed to love and appreciate them. My partner decided to be a SAHM, she has a professional degree, she developed some sort of nerve issue with her hand and can’t do too much house work. I help a lot with house work, work long hours and tell her on a daily basis that I love and appreciate her, not because of house work or finances but because I love her.
