[quote=Anonymous]DH is a physician and I dated him when he was in med school. DH honored all his classes and graduated at the top of his class. BIL also graduated top of his class at med school. DH found time to hang out with me every night, hung out with friends, be part of multiple school organizations, etc. If it is his first year, his course load is probably heavily focused on science and anatomy. I am sure you DH is rusty compared to his peers who just graduated from college where the prereqs are still fresh in their memories. Some people just have poor study habits. Like others said, if he blocks off a certain number of hours and doesn't use the time wisely, it is a waste. I think he should have plenty of time to help you out a little. Med students do dishes, do their laundry, run errands like normal people whether they have kids or not. DH always had 3 hours daily to eat a meal with me, hang out and have sex. Your DH can find 2-3 hours to help drop off a child or pick up child from lessons or load the dishwasher. He sounds like  he is being lazy and not even getting good grades. I would be really annoyed.

Even if you take on more debt, you should outsource more. You could outsource cleaning and a driver. I'm a SAHM and afternoons are still hectic. I don't even work and I have a housekeeper and tutor/babysitter because I can't be in two places at once and it can be difficult juggling multiple children. I have 3 kids.[/quote]
