[quote=Anonymous]Parenting is a two person job when there are two parents in the house. If DH is working, fine. But more stressful job or not, when he's home he needs to contribute, not relax with a drink. That could be playing a game with the kids while having his drink, taking them outside while you make dinner, or putting dinner in the oven while you do early showers. There is zero excuse for you to be running yourself so hard that you don't have the energy to read your kids a book, while he gets to relax every evening. Please see the power imbalance in this scenario. You both have equal and valid stress, and you both deserve a chance to relax. It's not all on you just because your stress comes from (his!) children and not a job. [/quote]
