[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EVERYONE with little kids feels like this at some point, OP. You have my total sympathy.

Suggestions:

1) Stop arguing. Just shut up already.

2) Stop trying to run the show. Recognize that some of this is YOUR CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR and let it go. Everything doesn't have to be done your way, and your way is not always the perfect way.

No, in the long run, it would not be easier without your DH around. Separating would create a whole new set of problems you haven't even thought of yet.

You really do have my sympathy. The little kid years are hard, hard, hard. I promise it gets easier.[/quote]

Thanks, PP.  You are right on #2.  Part of the issue is he doesn't do anything without me specifically telling him what to do.  I was working on a project with the older one last night and told DH the younger one needed to be in bed at 6:30.  Well, 6:30 rolled around and the little one was no where close to being in bed and thus up until 8pm and up this morning at 5am (not good for a 1 year old).  He was still up at 6:30 because I didn't specifically tell DH to get him out of the tub, dried off, in jammies, etc.  He also would just sit around all weekend and not think about lunch or snacks or going out of the house - I have to plan every outing or we would never leave on the weekends.  He leaves crap everywhere.  It's like he thinks the whole house is his closet.  He gets out his toolbox and leaves it sitting in the same place for a MONTH even with gentle reminders to put it away.  These are just little examples.

And I KNOW things in reality would be harder w/o him, but so many days it just doesn't feel like that :(.[/quote]
