[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got a weekly cleaning lady when our second child was 8 months old.

We didn’t have her for 6 months during Covid, but then brought her back in.

She’s been with us 12-years now and a good reason we have stayed sane.

I WAH making 1/3 of HHI.  My husband was overly critical and had unrealistic expectations about the house and wanted to give his input on things I did.  The resentment grew and grew between us.

Boys are 13&15 now and do a good portion of household chores.  The thing my husband was good at was getting me to see the more we got our kids to contribute to the household over the years, age appropriately, the easier it would be for me.

Wellbutrin helped me.  I would get into bouts like your wife and be overwhelmed and nagging and criticism made it worse and I’d shut down.  Some of this was also hormones in my early 40s.  [/quote]

And, OP, I believe you.  I e always joked my husband is a better “homemaker” than me.  Part is personality and our upbringing.  He was the oldest child of a single working mom.  I was the youngest child.  My mom did everything.[/quote]
