[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you sound reasonable here and I'm sure my DH would say some of the same things. What does she say when you ask her (not when she's tired and crabby, but when she's feeling good)? I'm not a SAHM but I do a lot more of the hands-on parenting than my DH does. I would love to have a day or even a morning to myself. But my kids give me a lot of grief and this compounds the guilt that I already feel for even wanting time away from them. My guess is that it's not so much about being a martyr but maybe just feeling guilty. Which is really, really hard for my DH to get but it's there for me a lot of the time. [/quote] She says she feels like the kids are her job. Since she doesn't help me with my job, she feels guilty when I have to help her with her job on my day off (her words, not mine). I don't get it, the kids aren't my job, I am a dad. [/quote] I feel this way, too, but I like sleep, so I got over it.[/quote]
