[quote=Anonymous]I wrote that about taking a trip. I was inspired by the Nytimes article 6 years ago called What Shamu Taught Me About a Happy Marriage. Praising works really well for me when I'm trying to get something I need. It's gotten me to the point where I can leave for days at a time (I've done several weekend trips this summer like that) and at least once per weekend and DH and my DD are great together. It's gotten me a reasonably equitable distribution of parenting - ie DH does all bedtimes- and DH is a confident parent. Just leaving for a few hours or an overnight is how i got the ball rolling. OP surely you must need a haircut or to have lunch with a friend or go grocery shopping alone sometimes, right? You don't take the baby on all errands, do you? Of course if it doesn't work for you and a come-to-Jesus talk doesn't either, then it might be time to break up. I'd rather be a single parent than shoulder all of that burden with an unhelpful spouse around.[/quote]
