[quote=Anonymous]Honestly I would ask your husband whether he wanted kids. It sounds like the burden of caring for the kid’s needs falls on you, and he doesn’t even bother to be attuned to what those needs are. The second question is what you want. Do you really want to be the house manager? Sounds like you are ambivalent, as in you see yourself in the role of the one who is in control and who is responsible. But you don’t want to be. That ambivalence could be creating issues for the teamwork aspect of your marriage. Practical solutions: I am on team new therapist, as his/her answer was lame. You need to remind him when bath is? That seems inefficient. We’re not asking your husband to telepathically read minds. He just needs to be able to read a clock. In our house bath is X minutes before bedtime, done. If your husband doesn’t want to do these things but still wants to be part of the team, he needs to work enough to pay for a mother’s helper to come in and bathe the kid and clean up after dinner so you can do everything else.[/quote]
