[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the PP that mentioned considering yourself a single parent who is lucky to have a roommate that pays a big chunk of the mortgage.

Encourage your husband to lean in at work, and be understanding about long office hours and time time spent in his room to decompress. Maybe set him up a basement or a man cave where he can spend time alone. Let him go on guys' trips and take up fishing.

If you don't want to take a break from work, then consider getting a nanny or an au pair to help out, or at least a cleaning lady and meal/grocery delivery so you can take care of the kids instead of doing other chores. Can you add an in-law suite and move in one of your parents?

Maybe you can do more cameras and baby monitors too.

I'd still meet with a lawyer just to discuss how to proceed and document these incidents, and also do the usual things like checking and screenshotting your accounts, even though doesn't sound like you're ready to divorce quite yet.

You just need to hang in for a few years until the kids are old enough to understand danger. You'll have to get them a smartwatch or phone early so they can contact you if they get left alone.[/quote]
