[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You won't believe how many letters I get from women like you who discover that no matter what the family's employment or financial situation -- wife works full-time, DH is starting a business/unemployed/in grad school -- their husbands inexplicably refuse to do childcare.  Your first mistake was failing to select a husband who would put your professional advancement first.  At the beginning of your marriage you should have demanded that your DH split all duties 50-50.  Assert yourself.  Risk divorce.

Lean in, OP, lean in.[/quote]

Ok, can YOU PLEASE STOP with the lean in bull shit? 
now that I got that off my chest, I agree with PP here - with the exception of leaning in.  whatever that means.

OP, DH was out of a job for one year.  I went to work and he took care of the kids while looking for a job.  Your DH is being immature, which I totally understand.  he's in a tough spot mentally.  I think you lay down the law - "Honey, I've cancelled daycare as of next Friday.  Starting Monday, you are taking are of them till you find a FT PAYING job". 
Is he getting unemployment?[/quote]
