[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the others. Unfortunately DH’s every single AM workouts are really unfair to you. He needs to alter his schedule- if he works out Sat and Sun he should be able to get by with 2 workout days during the week. If he wants more than that, he needs to get up even earlier IMO or workout at night. It just isn’t sustainable at this stage in your life.

What if DH only worked out Wed AM and did drop offs the rest of the week? He can get plenty of exercise  time on Sat/Sun and supplement as needed in the evenings if he wants more.

If he isn’t currently doing so, he should be trying to make some effort with meals too. Even if he made something ahead on Sunday as a base for Monday- Tuesday dinner it would be a big help. My DH will often grill up a bunch of chicken breasts and/ or steaks on Sundays (he enjoys it anyway- has a beer and listens to music or podcast) and then we use the leftovers for Mon/Tues nights (steak salad, chicken taco bowls etc for us- and if the kids don’t want the same they do meat + easy sides like rice or potato wedges and steamed frozen veg etc). No reason your DH couldn’t plan/do something similar. Most of it is just planning, and refrigerating for assembly. Then if you cook something on Wednesday that allows leftovers for Thursday- weeknight dinners are done and have been split closer to 50/50. [/quote]
