I have been a sahm for the last 8yrs. I have an 8 yr old son and a 4 yr old son. My husband says i need to start looking into finding a job come this fall when my 4 yr old starts kindergarten. He doesn't give me credit or understand that staying at home is hard work. I never have a day off. I do everything around our house. He doesn't even through his trash away. He leaves it for me to clean up. I take care of our kids the majority of the time myself. When he is home he is usually playing games on his phone. He makes a six figure income and we have money saved in the bank. But he is not happy and it's not enough apparently. He has told me my time is up. I've had it good for plenty of years. This makes me want to punch him in the face. He makes me feel like im not good enough because i dont bring home a paycheck. I feel like he would rather be married to someone who made as much money as he does. He has made multiple commets to me that if I was bringing home six figures like him we could afford a bigger more expensive house. I think he's an asshole for treating me this way. but I don't know why he does. I really wish he respected me more.

I agree with michelle. I'll be praying for you some patients and strength. Lord knows I would have knocked him across the room. Good luck and I wish the best!

You need to both sit down and have a talk. Obviously he thought you would be returning to work after the children started school. If you had no intention of doing so then it's a conversation that should have been had a long time ago.
You may even benefit from seeing a marriage counselor to help him with the way he's treating you. He is bordering on abusive (me ex did exactly the same for years and I worked part time!) and he needs to learn how to treat his wife.
