[quote=Anonymous]I think he needs to experience it from the other side.  I think that you should tell him that since you often have responsibilities for the kids and dinner at the same time, on Monday, you're going to take the night off.  You'll probably need to go for a walk or to the store or something, to force the issue, but let him try to do both.  Maybe he'll do a great job, and then you can alternate nights.  Maybe he'll do a mediocre job, and you'll decide you can live with that, and alternate nights.  Maybe he'll realize that what he's putting on you isn't fair and at least be more open to discussing.

Then, once he's had that responsibility once or twice, have a conversation about how tasks should be divided up.  Maybe he takes the kids to one of the parts of your house where you can't hear.  Maybe he takes over cooking.  Maybe you alternate nights.  But I don't think he's going to be able to problem solve without really understanding the problem.  So, I'd leave him alone a few times first. [/quote]
