[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like humans learn when they feel the problem versus being told about it. I'd tell him that you can no longer do the following: cook 100%, do several items of the cleaning that you are now doing, and find the nanny he thinks will solve your problems. Have him do those things, while working, and I'll bet he'll change his tune.

Or, I'd go away for a week while leaving him to work/care for the kids, and he'll learn the hard way how hard it is. [/quote]

Thank you! This was the first thing I thought of. I did go away for a week with friends. He flew his mom out, asked the nanny to work overtime and ordered most meals. It was so much for his mom who hates childcare that she didnt return for 6 months- even missed the holidays.[/quote]

Ugh my husband would do the same. I wanted to go away for 2 days and his plans were to have our friends come over for a bbq - basically in his head he could stand around the grill while our friends cared for 5 (our 3 plus their 2) kids.  I don’t understand the world he lives in - he truly thought that was a reasonable plan[/quote]
