[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are your kids? DH and I both work outside the home and are exhausted a lot. Too much. We try to help each other out and support each other when we want to do fun things too. If you are a SAHM with kids home all day, that’s also a lot of work.

I would tell him, “I have plans to go *** on Thursday. I know you have been really busy lately. Will you be free that night or should I hire a sitter?”  [/quote]

Quoting myself here. For my own situation, DH and I are both also comfortable telling each other when it’s too much and we need to hold off on planning anything. For example, he’s away for work this week. It’s going to be tough for me, balancing working and the kids but I know his trip is going to be very hard. Neither of us would plan anything social next week because we will both be tired. Even the thought of coordinating with a sitter would be too much for either of us.

Have an open and honest conversation with your husband. It sounds like the real issue here is communication. [/quote]
