[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a lot of us are in the spot and I just need to vent. I am doing all of the work of a stay at home parent while working full-time.  I’m just really frustrated because my husband just treats me as the stay at home spouse. Therefore, [b]I do all of the pick up all of the drop off all of the laundry all the cooking. All of the childcare arrangements and schooling. [/b] He goes to the store once in a while. He never cleans. I hired cleaners two days a week because I really truly feel that I would slide into a deep depression without them.  They are literally my most valuable people in my life right now.  What does that say about me? [b]We are equal owners[/b], with me being slightly more the breadwinner. I have a busy and significant  job.[/quote]

:shock:  Dude! All working parents do -
- pick ups and drop offs
- childcare arrangements and schooling arrangements

You already have twice a week cleaners and 5 days a week childcare.  You need to use a laundry service for clothes and maybe get meals delivered. If you have a significant job then outsource the laundry and meals.  Thankfully your kid is not doing DL and you don't have to help with that.

Is the issue the weekends when you do not have childcare? Ask your DH to step up.  SAH parents typically do everything and trust me that you are not doing what they are doing.

+1 I know the OP just needed to vent, and that’s totally fair, but I hope she realizes she’s got a much easier life right now than a lot of working parents. [/quote]
