[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds really annoying and I would be resentful too. My question is, what do you currently want from him (since it seems like you have A LOT of help at this point)? I'm sort of confused about why you're still so busy if you have childcare 7 days a week, 2 non-demanding jobs, and parents nearby.[/quote]

Op here. We have one parent nearby, and he’s awesome but all he does is drive our child to school and pick him up. The other childcare is a full time nanny who works the same hours that I work and not a minute more. Then we have a weekend babysitter from 9-1 on Saturday and Sunday.

I know it’s a lot more help than most people have. My job is less demanding than my previous job but is still pretty high stress. I don’t work outside 40-45 hours but during those hours I have to work and it’s hard to take time off.

I just wish I could feel like anything was just handled. Nothing gets done without me being the enforcer. So even just the nighttime routine-dinner/bath/bedtime/dishes. He only does what I insist that he do and I have to insist every night for each task.

Part of my stress is also the admin tasks of coordinating doctors appointments and therapies for our SN child and fighting insurance, etc. DH handles none of that.[/quote]
