[quote=Anonymous]My husband is like this too.  Just let go of your expectations for him.  He can’t hang out with the kids all day.  
I personally don’t think that 2 and 1 are the very worst ever.  
The 1 year old probably still takes a morning nap.  So schedule yourself some mommy/daughter time with the 2 y/o at that time and leave him with the sleeping baby.  
When baby wakes up, go out and do something together as a family.  Eat lunch while you are out.  Then come home, put the kids down for afternoon nap, and have some grown up time.  
After nap let the girls play outside while he does some manly thing like fix his car or grill or something.  Then dinner, then walk around the neighborhood as a family, then kids go to bed.

Also, let him do the dad stuff.  I am sure this is sexist, but I think most men view themselves as the protector of the family.  So let him install the baby proofing stuff, make sure car seats are safe, make sure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors work, etc.  It will take some of that stuff off your list AND make him feel like you appreciate him.
