Working spouse feels undervalued by stay-home spouse
Dear Carolyn:
I am our family’s income
earner, and my spouse stays
home with our children.
There’s been so much discus
sion of how valuable and impor
tant stay-home parents are that
things have slowly tipped to the
point where my contributions
aren’t valued at all.
I know at-home parents ARE
incredible and have histori-

days can be very difficult, repeti
tive, physical, etc.
However, mine are, too, starting
with a grueling commute. I deal
with difficult people and often have
nothing left to give. And then I get
home and am immediately told
it’s my turn to be “on duty.” I don’t
feel there’s any space for me to
com complain. We split the cooking and
outsource cleaning. How do I fix
this dynamic?
cally been undervalued. I know my spouse’s — Resetting the Pendulum
Every household is different — so the
idea of piling these things onto a scale to see
who has it tougher is ridiculous.
But when has that ever stopped me.
Home-with-kids vs. at-an-office reality
is that the home version is just relentless.
Even people with relentless jobs can finish
and go to the bathroom alone.
Your difficult people might equate to peo
ple who scream when they can’t wear their
lucky socks. In the end, what you have is
this: You are in charge of your head space to
a degree no on-duty parent of littles can be.
One advantage you have is that commute.
Again — you lose this time, and rush-hours
are punishing. But, still: You are in charge
of your head space. Then look at your day.
Breaks? Lunch? Can use down times better?
Ask for changes that don’t burden your
spouse: A sitter one or two nights per week;
a babysitter daily around dinnertime; one
night where Spouse stays “on duty” in
return for a weekend “shift” off?
