Thank you for the insight.  I talked to my husband about this and he is very jealous that I get to spend so much time with the boys.  I just assumed he prefered work.  Interesting.

Hi Erin,
I am a sahm too.  As far as not resenting your husband for working.  Just try to find the positive in your situation compared to his. 
 
My husband has to get up really early for work.                                I get to sleep in.
My husband gets breaks through out the day.                                  I move at my own speed, with no one breathing down my neck.
My husband gets to talk to the same adults all the time.                   I get to chat on line with other moms that I can relate too. 
My husband gets to come home to the kids somewhat refreshed.      I get to see most of the babies firsts. 
 
Hope this helps.
Grace

Hi, my name is Erin and I am an american living in France.  I have two sons 5 and 3 months.  I started mt career as a SAHM when I was 3 months pregnant with my second child.  I was lucky though and my former employer let me bring my first son to work with me so he has never been in daycare.
 
I find staying at home difficult since I have worked over 15 years before and actually miss getting up everyday and preparing for my job.  This new job is definitely my hardest.  How to stay motivated for housework?  How to not snak all day?  How to not become crazy talking to a five year old non-stop?  How to not resent a little my successful working husband?
 
Don't get me wrong, I want to be at home.  I know how important my mother's presence was to me growing up.  It made a real difference to me.  I also want my son's raised by our principles.  Anyway, I look forward to hearing from you.  Erin
