[quote=Anonymous]I was a SAHM until the youngest started K. DH works about 60 hours a week. Our mutually agreeable duty split was for DH to do lawn, home maintenance, set table, help with dishes and laundry. House cleaner 1x per week. My job was tidying, laundry, dishes, childcare, all cooking, grocery shopping, kid duties (camps, sports, classes, school applications).

Now I'm working part time again and the split is similar with DH doing more kid activities and occasional grocery shopping.  I still cook every meal and would never leave him out!!!

In the middle of all this was some counseling that revealed I was trying to do everything and suffer in silence because i viewed him as being really stresses out about work. In the meantime, I resented feeling like a single mom and was prickly all the time. Being aware of that dynamic and working together on changing it was done WONDERS for our marriage. Can't recommend counseling highly enough - particularly in a situation like yours.

Good luck![/quote]
