[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a part-time stay at home mom, I guess you could say. I work two days a week but only weekends as a nurse. Let's say dh doesn't do sh** except bring home money. He's not the one driving them to swim lessons, cleaning bathrooms or doing any cooking. Today I have been super stressed because I wanted to take them to the y but I also knew I needed to order groceries and cook something. I can't keep up with the house stuff and caring for the 3 and 7-year-old. We don't have money or another car to do summer camps. I create my own loose camp by taking them to the y childcare and then going swimming after. They love the y childcare. Is it normal to feel that I must take them out every day? I wish I could chill the f out and read a book while they watch tv, but I use the tv time for cleaning or all the other crap that comes up during the day. The 3 year old makes a lot of messes. He's going to morning preschool 3 days a week in September. I can't let them roam around the neighborhood as we live in a townhouse community close to a busy road. We also had a drug dealer incident in our neighborhood recently so supervisor is needed even for 7-year-old. Our neighborhood is otherwise supposed to be safe. How do you let go of the feeling you aren't doing enough? [/quote]

When you cook make enough for two meals.  In winter make hearty sluos, Stew, chilli and freeze in cup cake pans do you can only use as many as you need.

Is there a shuttle bus at the Y to pick up passengers in the neighborhood.  Maybe a church has a shuttle bus you can use.  Maybe I misread but if he's working from home, why can't you use the car?

It's nice that he brings home the money but he also needs to help out at home. You need a heart to heard talk about what he can do to help you.  Now is the time for you and the 7 yr old to help the 3 yr old ,pick up toys and put them away and it to make so many messes..

Good luck.[/quote]
