[quote=Anonymous]This happens. It's OK to be annoyed, but will be a major issue if you are "keeping score". Talk to your husband and tell him that you're annoyed, and see what you can work out. It actually sounds like most of why you're annoyed is because of his normal week day schedule. Maybe he can't help when he gets sick, but he could help shift daily responsibilities to help you be less burnt out when he's not sick. Try to communicate and control the parts that you can. Also, maybe he doesn't realize that you're annoyed, and maybe he could do a bit more parenting if you request it. Or maybe he could do other things - is he well enough to run some laundry and change the sheets? Wipe down the kitchen or bathroom? Run some errands that you need done? Fill up the cars with gas? What can he do? If he is truly too sick to do anything, then sorry, and it will pass. But if he's well enough to do some things, figure out what that is, and work together.[/quote]
