[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry Op, this is hard and I empathize as my husband compromised with two and it's definitely hard on him (still in the early years too with a 1 and 4 year old). I see him get exasperated sometimes too though it doesn't sound to the same level. And I disagree with others that you should have to give up a job you love because your husband can't suck it up for a few years (even though I do truly empathize and understand why it's hard). I guess I don't have any good advice because this is a tough one - either way there is resentment, if you have to leave your job there will be resentment on your end.

I guess I have one idea: is it possible really sitting down and writing down EVERYTHING you both do and then figuring out where there needs to be shifts and making some new systems could help? We've really had some shifts lately in things feeling better for my husband because of some new systems we put in place - new system for how we do the laundry, new system for bedtime, etc. We sat down and did this when I could see my husband starting to look worn down and now thinking about it I think things really have been better. My husband does seem to agree now with the "worth it in the end" thought that gets most of us through though so that is also helping. [/quote]
