[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP that asked if your DH was a lawyer. My DH and I are both lawyers too, and I stopped working when we had DC1, so basically same situation as you are in now, including DH being really stressed out, short and unhelpful then.

I think you really need to hire help. If you want to go running in the morning, hire a part time sitter to come in the morning. I know DH is a parent too and should pitch in and all that, but we both know how much a law firm partner has to work.  I understand your current situation is not what you signed up for, and you'd like a husband that has a less stressful job and OK with having less money, but unless you are willing to walk away from it all and divorce, you have to work with what you have.

Now is the time to throw money at the problem - babysitting, house cleaning, hire all the help so that you are not resentful. And let DH watch TV - obviously that's how he de-stresses. Just give him a lot of room, do not mentally count on him for anything.

My kids are in school now and I started working very part time.  My DH is more settled at his job and an active parent, though I am certainly the 'default' caregiver - which I want to be. I am glad we put our head down and worked through the difficult young kids years. Best of luck to you and your family![/quote]
