[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - Dh is the breadwinner in our family and has a very stressful job and travels quite a bit. So all of the appointments end up being pushed onto me. It is what it is at this point.  So I end up prioritizing the kids appointments and mine just slip to the wayside. [/quote]

Tell him how you have made his absences “work.”

He should care. [/quote]
+1. It is really unfortunate how much wives coddle their husbands and excuse them from very basic parenting responsibilities - and it is equally unfortunate how much husbands, most of whom are the primary bread winners so you're not alone there, OP, have become accustomed to having their wives shoulder the majority of children's appointments and paperwork. This is literally a hill you can die on, OP. So make those appointments and make sure that DH has his schedule cleared so that you can take care of your own health. If you end up being really sick, DH is going to have to do all the kids' appointments regardless. [/quote]
