[quote=Anonymous]Ugg OP. My sympathies.

I’d have a come to Jesus talk but frame it as a joint problem solving discussion. Tell him point blank that you cannot do evenings alone every day of the week and you need to figure out a solution together. That might mean you doing drop off some mornings so he can go into work earlier and leave earlier. It may be him managing his workday better. It may be shelling out big money to hire help (and agreeing to what will be sacrificed to make that possible). It may be looking for somewhere smaller to move where he has a better commute. Be adamant that you cannot sustain the current situation but don’t tell him what to do - problem solve it together (though sounds like the obvious solution you’ll probably end up with is he gets his ass home). Then once you’ve both committed to the solution hold him to it relentlessly. In fact, I might agree on a Plan B upfront so you can make steps to move onto it without arguing if he starts failing to hold up to his commitment.

Sounds like in this one area he’s going to try to take advantage and you just n ed to be crystal clear on what does or doesn’t work for you.[/quote]
