[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is the same way. He gets our kids up, but not dressed, while I am in the shower, and then leaves for work. So I get to get myself and two under five ready, and walk the dog, do the drop offs, work at my FT job, run out the door at 430, do the pick ups, come home, walk the dog, bathe the kids, and start dinner. DH blows in about seven, and complains about his boss/traffic/whatever while eating dinner, then has some urgent "work project" or errand to run (because hey--he came home "on time"), leaving me to do the bedtime routine. I don't think leaving DC would change him, and at least I have family in DC to support me.[/quote] I'm with you. I'm with you. My kids are older now. I don't think its living here, I think its the guy. On the plus side, mine makes a lot of money and I've had full-time help all the way through. (I do work, so I need the help for the times when I cannot be with the kids). However, I allow myself lots of help in the evenings so I am not slogging it alone. As the kids get older though, a nanny/au pair does not replace a parent in terms of mentoring, modeling behavior, bonding, love etc etc. I wish I had more of that in my life, but I try to look on the bright side and see that at least he is at work and providing for us.
