I am sure that is true. My mother was a SAHM and my father could not have worked the hours he did without her work. My dad thought it was great. My mother, OTOH, didn't. She worked hard, got no pay, and no recognition. *I* recognized how hard she worked for so little reward when I hit my teenage years and concluded she got a bum deal. I don't do that deal, and I want my daughters to be able to CHOOSE whether or not to do so.
I'm not disrespecting the very real work that you do, and I'm glad your husband does appreciate it. I think those who would bash a male for doing the same thing you work so hard at are those who don't respect it, and I will repeat my POV that this "SAHM vs feminist/working woman" war is constructed by those who would have women fighting each other instead of addressing real-life issues.

I'm sorry your dad didn't treat your mom well. You know, the Bible doesn't only say things about what wives are supposed to do, it also talks about husbands:
Ephesians 5:25 - "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her."
1 Corinthians 7:3 -"The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband."
Ephesians 5:28 - "In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself."
Colossians 3:19 - "Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them."
