[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a WOHM who comes home b4 my DH.  He comes home at 730 - after dinner and homework almost done.  It is a long day for me.[/quote]

I'd say so.  It's one thing to SAHM and have the bulk of the household duties.  [b]But working and keeping up with the children and chores is murderous[/b].  [/quote]

I would agree. How do you all do it. Thinking about going back to work and just the thought of all of it gives me terrible anxiety.[/quote]

[b]I work, handle pick-up from 2 schools, handle all homework, bath, dinner, and bed before DH waltzes in a 8 pm.  Sometimes he has been at the gym or Starbucks that day, and I just want to kill him because my life doesn't premit taking 5 minutes for myself.  It sucks.  I hate it.   [/quote][/b]

Oh, wow. This really sucks and doesn't seem fair. Why do you put up with this? I would have a serious sit down with my DH if this was my life. [/quote]

I thnk he counts on the fact that I miss my kids so much during the workday that I'll cover for him in the evenings.  We have a deal that he wakes with our younger child, then dresses and feeds him.  That hour in the morning is supposed to offset what I do in the afternoon and evening.  Except that he regularly chastises me for "sleeping in" while he accomplishes those two tasks.   The fact is that he would never see our younger child if he didn't pull morning duty.  My biggest problem isn't my husband -- it's my colleagues who see me running out the door every afternoon while they stay behind to get the job done.  I can't blame them.

Are you and I the same person married to the same man?  I could have written this post.  He expects a frickin' medal for "taking the morning shift."  Yeah, if I wasn't busting my ass every night getting the kids to bed and actually had some time to myself, maybe I wouldn't need so much sleep. [/quote]

WOW are we all married to the same man? Same here! I give him a little more credit because our son still doesn't STTN, but my DH thinks he should get the purple heart for mornings. Should've married an early riser.[/quote]
