[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I.... I am not one to tell people their complaints are insignificant just because others have it worse, but given the circumstances, I'd say that the only significant solvable* problem here is a husband problem. If he is not pulling his weight in the aggregate, that's a problem regardless of the fact that the OP has it relatively easy-- both an actual logistical one and an equity/emotional one.

So, cool, legit-- that needs to be solved if OP is going to be happier.

But OP... you're not going to garner a lot of sympathy when you say "All the work of a stay-at-home parent."

No.

You have people taking care of your kids and cleaning your house. Those are far and away the top two jobs of a SAHP. The other things are the "work of" all parents-- unfortunately usually moms-- SAH, WAH or WOH. Like, we ALL, hopefully with our partners, do the laundry, dishes, pickup, planning, etc. regardless of whether we work, unless we have the money for more than one full-time employee. Maybe you used to, which is why you're complaining-- otherwise, again-- it's a husband problem.

*COVID and lack of social support etc. is a problem, but not really solvable. If there is a mental health or other issue, that's not per se in the OP, or at least not fleshed out. So I'm going with mostly "relationship problem" here.[/quote]
