Looks like you have some issues within inside your self,  
 
Do you go to your husbands work and help him during the day? I think not. If it wasn't for your husband you would be taking care of your kids and working because I'm sure your the type of woman that would keep your kids from you husband for the sole purpose of receiving child support. So maybe you should get off your butt and stop watching TV and surfing the NET all day.  
 
If you are such a caring and loving person you would be able to look past all of this and accept your position in life. Remember your the Mommy, NOT the Daddy. So put on a nice dress and cook some muffins for your kids and you husband, and have them ready for him the next time he walks in the door.

BILL,  
MY RESPONSE TO THIS IS - IF I WERE YOUR WIFE YOU WOULD BE WORKING A WHOLE LOT HARDER TO AFFORD ALL THOSE CHILD SUPPORT CHECKS, THEN WE WOULD TALK OUR JOBS. WOMEN DON'T STAY HOME BECAUSE IT'S THEIR JOB - THEY DO IT BECAUSE IT'S BETTER THAN PAYING SOMEONE ELSE TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN. YOU SHOULD BE SO DAMN GREATFUL TO YOUR WIFE THAT YOU KISS HER FEET EVERY NIGHT WHILE YOU THANK HER. SHE IS RAISING YOUR CHILDREN. SHE COULD GO OUT AND GET A JOB AND LET SOME TOTAL STRANGER AT A DAYCARE RAISE THEM. AND BELIEVE ME, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO GO TO WORK EVERYDAY THEN DO WHAT SHE IS DOING. SHE WILL EVENTUALLY BURN OUT AND GROW TO HATE YOU OVER THE YEARS OF BEING BELITTLED AND HELD DOWN. THEN YOU WILL EAT ALL YOUR GENDER ROLE CRAP WHEN SHE IS LIVING LARGE ON YOUR PAYCHECKS. SHE IS DOING YOU A SERVICE - YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE IN HER LIFE THAT CAN MEET HER NEEDS. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT - OR ARE YOU TO BUSY GETTING YOUR NEEDS MET?  
I have been sitting here reading through all of these post, and your letter spoke out. I was the one with a job taking care of my husband and my child, then one day he sat there and said he found a job and wanted me to stay home with our little girl. My paycheck was small every week and would not have even cleared day care. Yes, I would love to go back to my easy job...playing housewife is not easy as men think it is, nor as some women think it is.
I am happy you sat there and told him to be grateful for his wife. It IS better than letting your child grow up in daycare. I may miss my job, but kids are only young once. I bet most can not even tell you what their child's favorite color or toy is. Many people put their children in daycare so they don't even have to take care of them. HE is the one that can meet her needs, and he needs to do it.
