This.
WOHM here with a 5yo and a 1 yo.  Struggling with the mental load.  DH does stuff to help out if I ask, but I have to ask.  And then he doesn’t really know what is being done, so I end up feeling like a micromanager, and I certainly do not enjoy being a micromanager.  But he depends on me to do all the planning, to know schedules, make appointments, etc.  I can’t just trust that he will take the initiative with these things.
Both of our DDs have food allergies, and one has had a severe anaphylactic reaction.  [b]He still doesn’t get the whole deal with reading labels,[/b] avoiding cross-contamination, etc...so food is all on me, too.[/quote]

I would LOSE IT with him over this and would drag his butt to counseling. And to all of the doctors appointments, and all of the allergist appointments until he started reading labels and paying attention.

My husband, who is a step-dad, pays very close attention to the things my child can and cannot eat (and its not because of allergies, its because of dental issues and ASD pickiness). My husband reads labels, helps us make good choices, and can do the grocery shopping for the whole family. I would very seriously consider divorcing a man who couldn't be bothered to learn about his children's anaphylactic allergy food restrictions (and would document the negligence and use it to get supervised visitation ffs).[/quote]
