[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would support my husband doing this, but then he'd also support me doing something for myself on the alternate weekends. He'd also potentially take the kid(s) sometimes. And/or do some of the Sunday prep on Saturday.[/quote]

I'd also say you have to be ruthless in your priorities matching your values. You can't have everything. It doesn't actually make sense at least to me to say we have to pick our own produce over him visiting his Dad. Dad trumps produce in my values. It's not that ideally I don't want to pick the produce, it's that you have to admit you can't have everything/everything cannot be optimized all the time.[/quote]

Yeah you are not going to get a lot of sympathy if you are ignoring really obvious ways to make things more manageable. Yes this is a hard phase. DH needs to contribute to the kid stuff and keeping the house running. But I really can't imagine proororizing doing my own cleaning and produce picking (if cost isn't the issue) over time with a declining parent. [/quote]
