[quote=Anonymous]I think OP is a martyr and her DH is just done with her.

OP: You have ONE four year old who goes to morning preschool FIVE days a week.  You work 15 hours a week.  Your DH makes good money.  You have an extremely easy schedule and life. So first, stop with the whining that you have to do ALL the work.  Yes, you have a four year old around most of the time.  By that age, it's not really work. It's just general oversight.  But you also have mornings off, during which time I presume you can do all your work.  So you make your kid lunch, do some errands or go to the park, come home and tidy and do laundry. Make dinner and put your kid to bed.  This is not a taxing schedule.  Boring, maybe.  Taxing, no.  It should absolutely not take you 14 hours a day of slaving around the house to keep this up.

You said you have lawn service, just no gardening because it's your DH's hobby.

I think you said you have a housecleaner. If you don't, hire one.  And if don't get out with friends, then that's all on you! Absolutely nothing about your DH's schedule is preventing you from meeting up with other moms every single day of your life.  And if I'm your DH, and wondering why the heck my essential sahw can't find a competent babysitter.  What's wrong with you that you have a four year old and haven't found a single reliable sitter?

And if I'm your DH, getting home every night at 8pm, and there is a wild kid running around, and wondering why the heck my sahw doesn't have this kid on a reasonable bed schedule like every other kid in DC.  And I'm peeved that every morning my wife and son are sleeping in until 8am while I'm dealing with the stress of my job.

OP: Your DH just doesn't want to spend time with you because you're a bad wife and a bad mom.  Sorry.

Put your kid to bed at 8pm.  Start going to bed at 11pm and wake up at a reasonable hour so you and your DC see your DH in the morning.  Find regular babysitters and set up a standing Saturday night sitter.  Get out with other people every afternoon and become a more interesting person than the whiney wife you currently are.
