[quote=Anonymous] OP — Your indication that you fear DH getting mad at you if you stop catering to him speaks if a real imbalance in your relationship, especially with twins. You really need to sit him down and say you are burned out and he will need to step up. 1- Give him a choice in the evening routine - bath and play time or books with twins or doing the dishes and perhaps folding a basket of laundry. 2- I would look for a college sitter with whatever hours they might give you. OR even consider an early teen as a “Mother’s Helper” during the hell hours of late afternoon. If nothing else you Might be able to take a llityke time fir yourself and/or get dinner together more smoothly. 3- If DH is no help during the week, then I would carve out time fir yourself on the weekend, and do so by getting out of the house while the weather is nice. You are in a hard time of child rearing and with two, so it is time to be honest with DH that he needss to step up, too. If you swing shift some if your work, then tell him two hours a night Mon- Thurs, you are back at work and he has the children.. [/quote]
