[quote=Anonymous]I am not sure what is going on, but for the past week or so I am always angry and snap at DH. I have been thinking about why and I think it has to do with our children and how he cares for our family.

First of all I want to say that he is a good person and we have a good relationship. We have 3 kids (6, 4, and 11 months) they are healthy, but a handful. This past year has beenwonderful, but very intense (new house, new baby, new achievements, etc.). We are all tired, our weekends are super busy with friends events, play dates, activities, birthday parties, etc. I know it’s a lot, but there is more to do at home as well and I don’t think DH does enough.

For example, after activities and birthday parties we still need to read and help my eldest learn how to read, baby is not saying any word yet and 4 year old is feeling left out. I can hold baby while I am teaching DD how to read, but I would like DH to play a game with the 4 year old. However, DH is usually on his phone any chance he gets and says he is tired (understandably). Unfortunately my middle child feels left out and I can’t include her in the reading too so I need DH to step up (I am tired too).

I just feel that my kids are not getting enough attention and I can’t do it all alone. This was clear last weekend when my 4 year old felt left out and hid behind the couch for half hour... it broke my heart... and DH was tired on his phone. We both chose to have 3 kids (actually DH pushes for the third) and I feel that he does not want to put the effort. He never reads with the oldest, rarely plays with the other two. He DOES take them to activities and birthday parties, but does not really do anything else. I am also the one getting them ready in the morning and at night (also because I work from home).

I think it is because of this that I have been upset with DH and every little thing he does I get very upset.

What can we do?
Thanks for your help![/quote]
