[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you needed to let go of the need to control for this evening, OP. It would have been a good time to relax and do something you enjoy, while you have solitude, then go run your errands if you want to. He can get the kids to bed when they get back. It's summer, a weekend, and not the end of the world if the kids stay up past bedtime.

Consider this, instead of being riled up and fighting more when he gets back, tell him you enjoyed the break, and it's great when he pitches in with the kids. And let him get the kids to bed. Sometimes we really do need to pull back and let go. Start fresh again and again. I totally understand the mom rut. It's how we get so much done.

And since you're handling most of their care and feel overextended, get some help in, or put them in a recreational activity here and there so they don't have to be dragged around when you are working or runnning errands. It's even less fun for them than it is for you.

It sounds as if you and your husband are locked in a battle where you prove yourself the biggest martyr and he's oblivious. That's a tough one. [/quote]

That sounds about right. [/quote]
