You know what? You should check out http://www.marriagemax.com/ and you would get a huge reality check Mr. Mom. And by the way, be proud of being a stay at home dad, it really is an important role.

In addition to what the person above me said, you should investigate in online schooling. Sound outta left field?

Look, I’m not an expert on raising children or keeping a marriage successful, but it sound like there are a couple of obvious problems in your relationship. The first being the lack of communication, which is causing you both to fight. You need to sit your wife down when the kids are off at school or just before you both go to sleep – so there are no distractions when you talk. You need to tell her how you’re feeling about your role in the household and perhaps express your thoughts on her behaviors toward you. Though you may not realize it, there’s a bit of a power struggle happening here. Your responsibility revolves around the children and hers revolves around the financial income. When she overrules your domain by letting the children run around late at night or by fighting with you over it, it strips you of your only power – which is raising the children. This is something she does not understand and something you need to communicate to her better.

Aside from your marriage, it sounds like your role as a full-time dad is seriously weighing you down. Parenting is classified as one of the hardest jobs in the world, though you don’t receive compensation, you will reap rewards much later. Have you considered taking some online courses? I only suggest this because having something additionally challenging in your life may greatly help relieve your frustration. During the time you raise your kids you’ll see your wife climb the financial ladder as you tend to the needs of dependents who will eventually grow up and leave you with nothing. (Not their fault, not your wife’s fault, and not your fault.) I suggest online schooling because it only requires 20 minutes of your time a day and Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are assignment free. It’s not cheap. It’s something like two-thousand a class, BUT grants are super easy to get if you qualify. Not only will you be able to have something to do on your down time, but you can achieve a four-year degree in two and a half years – if you don’t take vacations. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a four-year degree and the skills the pursue a job you really like?
