Dear Queenie,
My husband has a good job, so I don’t need to get a job to bring in more money. I spend my days keeping house and taking care of our children and doing volunteer work with a community group.
My husband thinks our house should be perfectly neat all the time and says I should spend less time volunteering and more time keeping the house clean, even though it is already perfectly clean and neat. I think he is being unrealistic.
Queenie, can you advise anything besides professional counselling?—Busy wife
Dear Wife,
All I can advise is professional counselling – for your husband, not for you. What he expects from you seems to be unrealistic at best, possibly controlling or even abusive at worst.
