[quote=Anonymous]I think the answer is in your question... your husband doesn’t plan any activities in any way at all, do bills, plan long term with finances, and you don’t have the money to outsource any other household jobs so that you can unweight yourself to plan, etc.

It sounds like it’s all on you and yes, you will be exhausted and spending every weekend running around doing errands and trying to clean, do “life” stuff and everything that comes with that.

I solved my problem by sticking with one grocery store that has an app and I pick up groceries once a week, everything else I need to buy is Amazon. Kids clothes are Gap ordered online. My clothes are Jcrew, Banana, Loft, online. Etc.
Do I pay a little more for things since I don’t price check toilet paper between Walmart target and amazon? Yes. 
But click click click and it’s there. I am literally never in a store. I do it from carpool, my lunch break, during a movie, whatever.

As far as cleaning I just do wipe downs every day and big cleaning once a month.

I have a husband who handles all the finances (everything joint but he’s the one telling me “we have $100 left in HSA” or “we have $250 left for groceries”, no issues there and he plans  things.

One big thing is we don’t all do things together. Sometimes he takes kids on a Sunday adventure and I stay home and luxuriate in the peace and quiet or cook or whatever. Sometimes I pack them up for a quick overnight and he gets to hang out with the guys.
