[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your husband isn’t doing enough. You say you’re doing the bulk  of it. [/quote]

My husband works out of state of occasion and was basically gone for the first 2.5 years of our sons life. I co slept with him because I was exhausted. At 4 years old, my son sleeps in his bed half the time and half the night in ours. There's always a 1-3AM wakeup. My husband is the one who gets up with him most nights and will help with the bulk of sick day care.

I still do the weekly housecleaning, majority of cooking and cleanup. My husband regularly does laundry but doesn't put it away. I am responsible for school pick up/drop off because of his work hours. He works 7-3 and I work 9-5. He does do a good share, but it's usually 70/30 or 60/40.[/quote]

By 4 your son should be able to be independent at night. Invest the time (with DH) in training him to put himself back to sleep, and sleeping in his own bed. That 1-3am thing is total bullshit. You keep saying your husband does a lot, does a good part but it's nowhere even. If your husband works until 3pm why isn't he picking DS up from school and then parenting while making dinner? Why are you doing the bulk of everything in the kitchen and all the cleaning? You keep defending your husband's pathetic involvement. [/quote]

Totally agree. Also why are you giving in to demands for “physical attention” when you’re just exhausted, and not even into it!? If he wants a well-rested, spunky you, well he knows what he can do to make that happen….[/quote]
