[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You haven't said anything that lets us offer helpful feedback.

What responsibility are you shouldering? How big a paycheck? What access do you have to the money he makes? ARE you expecting too much? Can't say without knowing what you expect. [/quote]

He is an active father but sucks at anything house related. I do all the shopping, cooking, managing outsourcing crews, 95% of the childcare, scheduling/taking kids to appointments, handling childcare.

I work part time making 60k. He works full time and makes 400-500k a year.

I have full access to our money.

I just want him to step up more with the household labor. He has said he is busy working to support our family to give me the ability to stay home. [/quote]

I had your situation except he wasn't making as much as your DH. He came from wealth though, too proud to ask for help though so we scrounged and got by. He worked extreme hours at his own business and I was left to handle literally everything related to the house and kids. What I mean by that is that I also did plumbing and electrical work.
I did not have access to money.
(Life became vastly different and improved after I went back to work and we separated)

Look, your DH is making a lot and you have access to it. You can afford to outsource. Your husband's talents do not lie in home maintenance - accept that and certain other facts about his abilities and you will have a more realistic set of expectations and a more realistic marriage.
The problems lie in unmet expectations. And maybe unrealistic expectations.[/quote]
