Yes, get over it.  You are creating one more problem for yourself.  Be grateful that you have that flexibility.  (Or outsource a babysitter or family member to take your kid to the doctor's appointments.)  [/quote]

Agree.  It is always going to be easier for one parent to do this stuff.  I know I do the majority, that's just the way it is.[/quote]

I'm with OP, I don't think it's fair.  [b]I'm all for fairness in a marriage, otherwise resentments undermine the relationship. [/b] Of course my husband and I each make 50% of the household income. If I had a play job, I'd have to suck it up and agree that unfairness was "just the way it is."[/quote]
Only if you are a child or a childish mind that truly expects that in an adult world and an adult life, things are always 50-50.
I am so glad and feel so blessed that I understand that life is not fair and my DH holds up more than his "fair" share when life calls for it, and I do the same. 
OP, ignore this poster, figure out how to make it work in your current circumstances. If hubby has to spend the next 6mth-12mth working  his ass off, then it is what it is. Get him to agree to getting household help so that you are not OVERburdened. 
Please don't waste your time being resentful or keeping tabs. Sounds like your DH is usually a full partner. Circumstances have changed...how is your team going to change to accommodate that...figure it out together.[/quote]
