[quote=Anonymous]DH and I both work full-time, but my job is much more demanding and I am the primary breadwinner. His job was a choice to keep him busy; he doesn't have to work. My job is necessary for our financial survival.

While I love our DD, my DH does a lot more work for her. He gets up in the middle of the night with her 80% of the time. Same with waking up early. He puts her to bed more often. We're both involved parents, but he does more of the dirty work. He also does more cleaning around the house than I do.

Sometimes he gets upset and snaps about this since we're both working full-time. However, my job is exhausting and necessary for our financial survival. I simply don't have the energy to do everything at home too. I think it's fair for him to do more at home since I'm providing financially. I understand that he works, but that's his choice; he doesn't have to if he can't keep up with the stuff at home too. Honestly I would love to quit my job and do all the stuff at home and have him bring in the money, but that's not our reality right now.

Am I being totally unfair to DH? What do you think?[/quote]
