[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do everything for the household and the kids. I don’t really mind doing it all. What makes me crazy is that I get no acknowledgment for doing it all… and worse, I am very often criticized for it. [b]“Kids don’t need parties”. [/b]“Elf on the shelf is dumb”. “Most dads hate Christmas plays”. “If you didn’t buy all these presents, you wouldn’t have so much to wrap”. [b]“You should plan better”.[/b] [b]“You just need to stop scheduling things. You’re going overboard”. [/b] “A birthday party on Saturday AND a birthday dinner on the actual birthday on Tuesday? Just stop.” “You can’t even keep up with the laundry so why are you taking on extra responsibilities like volunteering at the school?”[b] “Kids don’t need after-school activities” [/b]“Play dates aren’t important” “This new math curriculum is so dumb. I wouldn’t make them do this homework.” [/quote] Not OP. My ASD DH said these to me all the time. I get no compliment or acknowledgement for doing daily morning routines, drop off, pick up, take kids to therapies/classes, evening routines etc. It is my fault that I sign up this and that, but he is not taking them out or plan anything to do with kids. As a non swimmer & a non biker, how sad is that I am the one paying someone to teach kids. He cam swim and bike. It is my fault that our house is messy because I have no time and no energy to clean while he rests in home all the time. He says kids do not need summer camp & after school care. I don't see the logic here. He works remotely, and I work hybrid. He probably expects me to multi task to work and take care of kids at the same time. Or tv or computer are the babysitters. I stop to complain too much because it is no use and just makes me more mad.[/quote]
