[quote=Anonymous]My husband leaves the house at 6am every morning. Part of this is to beat traffic, but it's also because he has to support a military client. That means I do 100% of mornings with my 2 and 4 year old while also getting myself out the door. It sucks. It's a drain. It can feel super unfair when you're trying to take the dogs out, get teeth brushed, make sure you don't look like a sloppy hobo yourself, and feed two kids. So I get OP's simmering resentment.

But honestly, this might be a fight you can't win. The military comes first. Why not instead look at where you can 'barter' this time back. A mother's helper a few mornings a week, a closer daycare, etc - all great suggestions from a PP. Or find a regular sitter and pick a time to get your nails done/have coffee by yourself/go to bible study/whatever once a week to find your center and your peace - so 10mns every morning don't ruin your whole day... and marriage.

My DH isn't in uniform, but we still all ask 'how high?' when DoD tells him to jump. It's just how it is, how it's always been, and how it will likely always be.[/quote]
