[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The title really says it all, but I am really struggling with my DH during this time.  We have set a  routine of bath, pjs, teeth brushing, books, bed. We have a 3 and 4 year old.  He never helps at all.  What does he do?  Brushes his own teeth, takes the laundry downstairs, goes to another room to lay down.  We have talked about that I need his help, but he just can"t do it.  Makes bedtime so stressful and I am resentful.  He has agreed that the routine is important, but he won't engage.  It just makes me so angry and disappointed.[/quote]

This might not be entirely planned on your husband's side, it might be that he is just following his routines and he can not break them
and the  reason he does not see how difficult it is for you and that he is needed might be the combination of rigidity towards routines
and mind blindness that is flagship traits of Aspies. Check out the pages 77 and 78 in this book.. use Look inside option that is above the picture
once the page fully loads and you might see similarities...
