[quote=Anonymous]Before you go back to work, you two need to make lists of what changed while you were home. Everything from your mood/attitude to you picking up more of the domestic labor, to the flexibility needed to care for your child. And then you need to consciously divide up that labor for the future. Because I am guessing that the #1 change is that you are taking care of all the little fires that come up daily, and that you are no longer too tired to do your share of the domestic labor. The stress and exhaustion are going to return. But you two now know that the problem is logistics. So plan for them. And if the main problem was actually your mood and attitude, then you need to figure out how to not let your stress/anger/depression/unhappiness affect how you speak to or interact with everyone else. That might look like more regular exercise or therapy, or journaling.[/quote]
