[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get your post.  All the things you describe are typical of a SAHP (or a working parent for that matter).  You need to speak to your husband about scheduling time with your daughter and cleaning up after himself.  If you want to hire help, go ahead.  I care for my MIL.  I don't see what the big deal is. Its my choice.  I could say no, but I do it so my kids can see and do the same for us.[/quote]

What is different in my situation is the stuff I don't want to complain about. [/quote]

Its not all that different than other individuals.  I was a full-time caregiver to my MIL before we moved her to a nursing home.  That is something to complain about... not helping with some paperwork and visiting.[/quote]

There's a lot I haven't mentioned that I could complain about.  The biggest thing is DH isn't a partner to me in many respects and it creates an ugly and stressful dynamic not to mention a lot of added work.  When he is traveling for work and it is just me and DD, life is so much easier.  There's more, but I don't want to spend time ranting.

Please get all the help you need and want without feeling guilty about spending “his” money. I don’t know what biglaw is good for if you’re not even going to reap the financial benefits. It’s a huge lifestyle and family sacrifice. [/quote]
