Wow, your poor toilet wants to divorce him too.

I was struck by the fact that you are rousing early to drop off your dc, leaving your dh to sleep til 11. There's no reason for you to rouse early to drop her off when she has a parent in the home who can get quality time with her, then drop her off later, before he goes to work. The fact that daycare is your better option than being with him is more than enough to leave him.[/quote]

Yes, before we had DS, the plan that we agreed on was that DH would do both the daycare drop-off and pickup.  He did it the very first day and then reneged.  He told me when I got home that he would not do it anymore, as it was just too much for him in the morning and he needs his sleep.  This created a HUGE fight between us, but in the end I decided to just do it myself, because honestly, I didn't trust him to wake up to take care of DS in the morning.  I could just picture DS waking up and screaming for hours in his crib while DS slept.

Look, OP, if what you say is true, you don't have a partner here.  You have another child, and your relationship is so off-track that you can't/won't summon the will to do the hard work to fix it (rightfully or wrongly).  This means that it's time for you to decide whether you want to stay in this marriage *as it is.*  If so, carry on.  If not, you need to ask your DH again to try counseling.  If he won't go, you need to go yourself, to (A) find out why you were willing to accept this, and (B) prepare to leave.[/quote]
