[quote=Anonymous]OP, what kind of house do you have? How's the neighborhood? We had a house like what it sounds like you have. I truly hated it. There was only one bathroom, and it was on the top floor, meaning that you always had to go upstairs to use it. Upstairs was also where the bedrooms were and hauling a kid up and down those stairs many times a day was physically exausting.  The kitchen sucked, no counter space, no place really to put a high-chair, no real place to store extra trays.  The backyard and neighborhood sucked. Might it be that DH hates the house, so hates parenting because he is physically and mentally worn out?  We moved to a much better house when our daughter was a toddler.  I was amazed at the difference in my physical and mental health.  I had room to store stuff. I only had to use stairs to do laundry, and we have enough clothes that that could even slip a day. The backyard was awesome. Your "be thankful for what we have" can also be code for "My husband is selfish if he disagrees that our house isn't perfect".  Where and how you live make a huge difference.  I'm not saying your house is wrong, just telling you my experiences. Your house may have been fine before kids.  There is a reason these 1940's houses get remodeled. They simply don't work with today's lifestyle and expectations. And there is nothing wrong with today's expectations. [/quote]
