Op here, I agree.  I am just stuck, we've had this talk countless times.  He doesn't see it and is just lazy.  Like on the rare occasion I go out, like once every 3-4 months, the kids aren't even in jammies in bed (not that I care bc it's truly not a big deal, but it's just illustrative that he does NOTHING).[/quote]

Are you very specific with him? Like, on the night you're going out, do you say to him, "You need to have the children bathed, put in their PJs, and put to bed before I get home at X time." Some guys are really clueless and need that dumbed-down level of instruction. Have you ever thought about going to at least one marital counseling session together, just to see if there is a better way to get the message across to him that you are feeling so frayed?

I also agree with the PP who says that it may be time to try outsourcing a little, if you can afford it. Hire a bi-weekly or weekly cleaning service. Order from a healthy meal prep service. Skip the grocery store trips and do Peapod. Get a babysitter once a week for a few hours so that you can get some time to decompress. A happy mom is a good mom -- so you need to take care of yourself too. And your husband needs to get on board with that.

The other month I felt like you described -- just would get incredibly, red-haze angry over dumb things. I booked a 90-minute massage at a reasonably priced spa in my neighborhood, and I swear I walked out of there feeling transformed. It's amazing what 90 minutes and $100 will do for your spirit sometimes. [/quote]
