[quote=Anonymous]I need help. My DH recently started graduate school. Although he started in August, I have been mentally preparing to be the primary caretaker of the children for a while.  Since he started, I have done all of the drop off and pick ups and all extracurricular activities for both kids (violin, soccer, girlscouts etc. ). I have complained to him that I am tired, and honestly some days I am. My husband does help when he can, but I don't put much pressure on him. In my prior life I would complain about dirty dishes, laundry etc, but now, I let it go. Today he reached out to tell me that he isn't doing well in his classes, and needs a better study routine. I read that as he needs more time for school. Honestly, I don't know how to respond and I don't know what else I can give. I am truly giving 110% in every aspect of our lives. I am the sole bread winner, sole caretaker, manage the finances etc etc. I am so bad at responses that I don't know what to say. I don't need help for me, I need help on how I can support him in his time of need, when I'm already maxed out.[/quote]
