[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How often does he travel? Every month? Is he taking advantage of his sniffles? Is he still working thru the man cold?[/quote]

OP - he travels every month or so.  At the minimum every quarter.  I try and have empathy but its hard because stuff still needs to get done and then I have to do it all.  I power through when I have a migraine or any sickness that isn't completely debilitating.  Its what parents do when they have young kids who can't function on their own. [/quote]

How old are your kids and what exactly is it that you need to do when he’s sick that he’s not helping with?[/quote]

Op - kids are 11 and under. Elementary school age.

Need to get kids up, fed breakfast, lunches made, drive to school, walk dog, I work full time from home, pick up kids from school, supervise homework, make dinner, drive kids to sports practices, make sure laundry is done, give baths to younger kids, get kids ready for bed, put to bed, clean up house before I can finally go to sleep.

11 and under and they’re all school aged and you have lots of optional tasks there as well as tasks school aged kids can easily do for themselves. You have to “make sure laundry is done” every single day? Really? You have to clean the house every single day? Your 11 year old can’t make some sandwiches and grab the pre-wrapped snacks I’m sure line your pantry and throw them into lunchboxes for the themselves and siblings? Your younger kids (how many and how young?) need to take baths every single day (even though that’s not good for their skin?)

Yup, sounds like a classic DCUM mommy martyr. I have zero empathy for the mommy martyr.[/quote]
