Just what we need before Mother's Day, Slate...another article about how men suck, we don't do our fair share and women are exceeding their responsibilities....On this upcoming day of celebrating mothers, here’s a cautionary note, something many mothers-to-be don’t expect when they’re expecting: If you have a husband, you will hate him when your kid is born. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Don’t be fooled by the pictures on your social media feed of your friends serenely beaming with their infants. When they’re not letting you know they’re #SoBlessed, they’re probably fighting.

Re: How Not to Kill Your Husband After You Have A Baby
Having a child can be stressful. Specially the first. But the article is basically a cautionary on he perils and pitfalls regarding the relationship of the parents and what I call The Breadwinner's Dilemma: the primary carer often ends up don't the majority of the domestic routine as well as the child care, and the other partner often feels like a wage slave and resents having their own interactions with the child managed by the primary carer. In extremis this suits nobody.
I think you need to be a bit more charitable 42, and a bit less sensitive to implied criticism that isn't even directed at you.

Was never a problem for me. When one got pregnant the other wives pitched in.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

In several pictures of me and my son when he was an infant -he was a bit premature and so tiny- I look like a deer caught in the headlights.Brian Peacock wrote:Having a child can be stressful. Specially the first.
I can laugh about it now --whew.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

I am beyond sick and tired of hearing SAHMs complain about their long resume of "chef, maid, chauffeur and bookkeeper all rolled into one!"
Just stop knocking on my door with your greasy hair and your caffeine withdrawals and sit at my kitchen table and try to convince me that your children are Satan's spawn and gripe that you had to clean all three toilets today.
I'd just like to hear one of these SAHMs say to me, "I am so blessed. I have a faithful husband, gorgeous and healthy children, a beautiful home, and I am fortunate enough to stay home and enjoy my blessings." Just say that to me once per a instead of continually moaning about the dust accumulation on your furniture, the temper tantrums in Target and the gas you burned hauling your children to baseball, ballet and soccer practice.
Just be content or quit your whining. You're giving us thankful SAHMs a bad rap.
