[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have been on my mind since I read this update. I really feel for you. You sound tired and defeated. I'm sorry this is happening. I want you to find some strength and schedule a sit-down with your husband, bc what you're describing isn't working for you.

And before "hotel" poster or "just figure out a way to do everything yourself" posters chime in, read OP's update. This isn't working for HER.

You say your husband is a good guy. I bet you're right. But even good people push boundaries when they're able. Leaving food for you to clean up on the  furniture is a serious departure from parenting skills. Even if DH isn't the primary caregiver (although don't you both work?), this isn't OK. You want to be "fun and laid back"; ask yourself what you need for that to happen, and be honest. Eating shit with a spoon and smiling through it isn't for everyone.

Life with little kids is hard, and I agree with all above advice about being careful not to criticize husband's efforts, making home environment welcoming, etc. But a truth I've accepted is that ultimately I have to be my own advocate for what I need. This take some energy. You may need a third party to help you. Good luck. [/quote]
