[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your DH is a man/baby who can't handle being a parent. Sorry.  We are all under stress. He needs to step up.  Your answer is his response.. " you're the mom / you're the one who wanted kids.."

The way I would handle it is to tell him ..."You need to step up and be a damn parent and grownup and do things when they need doing, and stop acting like our kids who whine and complain when told to do something. We are all stuck in here amidst a crisis. Grow the f* up".

I would say it just like that.

That is what I want to say, but I don't think it will get me anywere! 
I am working from home with both kids now as well. He is still going to work. Last week we were outside in the evening. I headed inside to work and he said "uh where are you going?"..."Inside to do some work, I haven't been able to get anything done."....and he was STILL annoyed. I had expressed to him how hard it was to work with the kids home and how anxious I was about it a few hours earlier! He acts like he understands but then has an attitude when he actually has to do it[/quote]
Maybe, but it would sure make me feel better.

As a PP stated, all kids are trying, especially when you are working FT, too.  I have lost my cool several times already with the kids.  I am not a patient person, and neither is DH. BUT, if DH pulled this kind of sh1t on me, I'd grab him by the nuts and squeeze really hard until he understood my pain.

You seem to already know he's got lots of issues.  If it were me, I would not one more thing or living being to manage or handle. I don't even want a pet to deal with even though my kids keep begging for one. I have no advice for you on how to change him. I don't know that you can. So, I would just let him have an earful, and then work around him.  If he gives you grief for leaving him alone with the kids, just shrug it off.

I know that leaving is not easy, especially now. But I would seriously give thought to your future after covid isolation is over.  What do you want for yourself and your kids?[/quote]
