[quote=Anonymous]I get why you are incredibly frustrated. That’s a lot on your shoulders. But it also doesn’t sound like you appreciate what he DOES do. He cares for your one year old all day, who I imagine is happy and healthy; there is value in that, and in the money you’re saving in childcare. At the very least, when your kid is sick you don’t have to scramble to figure out what to do; there is value in knowing your child is in good hands while you are at work. You feel derision toward him, and communication about your respective needs has dissolved into fighting.

That being said, perhaps you also feel that he’s not valuing or appreciating all that YOU do. There is no sense of working as a team to keep your family afloat. Maybe if you both dropped your weapons and sat down to hash all of this out...he gets those two hours for himself — you need the equivalent. Try to problem-solve this together. I realize this is hard when you’re furious and exhausted. A counselor might help, even for just a few sessions.

It sounds like you don’t trust thar he’s doing what he needs to do to find a new job. What is that about? [/quote]
