Husband Telling He Can Replace Me With Nanny

I agree with the ignoring part. Either ignore or give such a response( not necessarily verbal but through actions) that he won't dare say that again. Feeling bad and thinking about it all the time, festering inside is worse. One disadvantage of being a housewife is that you have to be prepared mentally for these kind of scenarios.

 

Its done. You cannot go back and give a response now.
Use it to your advantage. He is indirectly saying you need a vacation
So take a break. Plan a solo trip to India. Enjoy with parents & friends

Let him manage kids. He will be fine, you too. If he asks you can give the same reply back.

But don't think give much importance to people who put you down even if its a joke. Next time , give a response or dont's based on your convenience.

You are valuable and not defined by other's opinion. So don't take it to your heart and loose your peace of mind.

Truth is that both husband and wife are replacable but not a good mom or dad .

 

Just don't pay attention. If he is good otherwise, just let it go. IMHO that was not funny at all. If he was trying to convey something and if it's abnormal, take note of it but don't run into depression over this. Try to better what you think is lacking in you. If you cannot, then forget it. Don't back answer or tell something that will unnecessarily create fights.

 

If I were you I’d look into the root cause of the issue which is low self worth and a big sacrifice done in the name of family. I’d resolve and start working on my goals on how to get these two up and at a fair place so no comment can make any difference for me. Actually that’s what I have done in past 2 years, worked on resuming a great career and gaining my independence back now my husband dare not say such useless thoughts and keeps to himself
