[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am in a difficult situation also OP. I am the primary earner. I working we hours. Yet I still end up doing the bulk of the heavy lifting around the house and clearly am the default parent. Things should be shared. Equal is whatever works for you both.

It's easy to say "have more sex" but it's hard to do that when You are tired and pissed off. My husband got home 4 hours before I did today. Didn't send the nanny home at her normal time though-asked her to stay another two hours while he played around on his computer. And called and asked me what was for dinner. While I was still at work.

So-I paid for that OT for the nanny. I brought dinner home. I cleaned up because while he cleaned HIS plate up (we have come a long way!) he didn't do mine or the kid's and while I gave the kid a bath and got him ready for bed my husband had his own playtime again (note:  I didn't silently start the kid routine. At dinner We both noted the kid was dirty-we talked about him needing a bath right after dinner. Husband agreed. But walked away and did his own thing).

Total free time for dad: 5+ hours. Mom: none 
Got to bed, husband wants sex. Wife wants to smother him with pillow.

We are in counseling...but sometimes it really isn't a balanced life. Both people need to feel valued. [/quote]

You must be a very patient person. I would explode if my husband acted this way. I hope counceling helps you. Best of luck to you. [/quote]
