[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I also find it sad that you and your husband are treating your toddler like a hot potato.  There are simple things that you can do as a family.  For example, on Saturday morning have a pancake breakfast together.  I can tell you that my toddler is happiest when she, DH, and I are all together and DH and I also enjoy this time.  I think you guys may want to seriously consider not having more children.  I am not saying this to be mean or harsh but I'm not sure how your marriage can survive this for too long.  It sounds like you are coworkers managing a task.[/quote]

This. It is not going to be equal, and your keeping score is making this so much worse. Honestly, and I say this as a WOHM who would love to SAH - I think you should get a part time job. I am not looking for a medal, at all, but I have an insane three year old and a one year old, I work part time, and when I am home, I do an activity in the morning, clean, laundry, make dinner, shop, etc. You just have to jump in and get it done. There is a learning curve, and sometimes it is indeed a disaster, but you ride it out, right? Honestly, bottom line, you don't sound like you are coping, at all. And I feel like your kid cannot be enjoying feeling like such a liability. Get a part time job, get a sitter, and get some time away built into your schedule, stop keeping score, and honestly, just grow up a bit. [/quote]
