Our disagreements steadily circled back to the same hurtful point — I didn't work and he did.
My soon-to-be ex-husband and I have created the most beautiful, charming and, who am I kidding, downright-wild four children together.

But somehow, it’s easy for those staying home with the kids to fret over the fact that others might not view their role in the family as enough. Ultimately leading to the overcompensation of doing and giving more than what’s needed as an added attempt to try and prove some type of already proven worth.
