[quote=Anonymous]OP - I share your pain and I would dare say this is unusual. But so is my situation. My husband never watches our DD on his own, for me to even ask him to do would seem odd. To boot, he gets plenty of "me" time, going off biking or hiking (sans the bar afterwards) with his friends. I drop off our DD before my (longer) work commute and my husband promised me at once my new commute started that he would help out by picking her up. After a week of picking her up, (just as i have been doing all along for two years) he started to complain about it and told me that we should move closer to the day care because it would be more  convenient for "us".  Never mind that when I picked her up, he never minded our location - about three miles from her day care. Ridiculous. I just went back to picking her up to shut him up about it.
Our division of labor has been an ongoing issue since we had the baby and I feel like I was somehow misled when he told me how much he wanted to be a father. He still acts like he is single and any time I try to point out that I am doing more than my fair share, he tells me I'm playing the martyr, blah, blah, blah... The worst part is that he begrudgingly agreed to a "family day" on Saturdays and he always manages to pick a fight so I will leave with the baby while he goes off to have a pleasant day on his own. 
It sucks. I hope your situation has gotten better. Unfortunately, I have talked to a lot of the married ladies I work with and this is all too common.
