[quote=Anonymous]I’m of the mind that clearly the status quo isn’t work for you, so tell your DH that and talk about it. My kids are similar ages and I kind of sucked up a lot of resentment I had that my DH seemed to have more leisure time and energy than I did. That was not sustainable. Other people may say you should just suck it up, but if you’re on here complaining that you have had enough, then it’s time to figure out a different solution. FWIW, I don’t think it’s unreasonable for your spouse to clean bottles and pumping parts while on parental leave. But talk it out with him to come up with a new solution. You have a finite amount of energy and time and patience and this is a time when all of those are clearly hitting their limits and that’s ok. Don’t hate yourself for not being able to do everything. No one can except in their imagination. [/quote]
