[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You need to take on a set of responsibilities such that you own them and she doesn’t have to think about them. [/b] Eg: soccer coordination job. Do all meal prep so all she has to do is do the actual cooking. Make all kids’ lunches. Do all grocery shopping. Take oldest kid to do X activity 2 days a week. [/quote] This is big. The mental takes more effort and is stressful than executing the plan. Why can't you take over the IEP paperwork or be the soccer coordinator? My DH is a co-coach, and he works FT, as do many other dads. Have her give up the soccer stuff. Cut back on the playdates. Something's gotta give, and that's one that can. Or say that you can do playdates at other people's homes but not your's. [/quote]
