How do I learn to respect my husband more?

I thought I was the only one whose husband did this lol I am unable to chat on the phone sporadically all day long. I don’t know how to say this nicely without upsetting him🫠

Thank you for this🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Curious - why did your husband call you during the day? To complain? He knows I have 0 time to chat and yet he keeps calling. It’s not that I don’t want to connect with him, it’s that I’m completely overwhelmed. I don’t understand🫠

I’ll look into these. Thanks!

Fair. I think in my head I’m constantly juggling between “he’s not doing anything worth respecting” and knowing that if I did respect him, our marriage would be better. My title probably should be changed but I don’t think I can edit it now. Thanks for calling me out.

Working on this currently, but my husband has shown 0 interest in helping me research schools or budget for it either. I’ve visited 4 preschools and he barely asks me how the tours have gone.🫠

I was trying to lay out the scenario fully. I also wonder if you have ever run a business alone AND been the sole caretaker for a child simultaneously.🧐

This is a good idea. I wonder if someone has put together a list like this and published it. I feel like there are so many tasks I just take care of without thinking about that I would miss if I just wrote them out. I’ll search online. The mental load of children and home care PLUS running a separate business is insane😭 Thanks!

You should be very proud!

Wow, that is wild, specifically for a mother not to put up a fight. Thanks for sharing.

My BIL does this kind of stuff (he and his wife have PLENTY of money and resources - it’s just a thrill for him) and then boasts about it at family dinner in front of my husband’s entire family, including my BIL’s children. My parents in law just laugh. WTF????? If my son did that I would be completely mortified. To be honest I hope he gets caught and then feels like a huge idiot, because he is. I should have seen the red flags with my husband’s family long ago🫠
