Am I? Please tell me I'm not.
DH thinks he does his bit but he truly doesn't; he'll unload the dishwasher a couple of times a week and maybe put our youngest child to bed twice a week too. Occasionally he'll run the hoover round and act like he deserves a medal...
All of the thinking is left to me and I think that's the hardest part. Having to think all the time about whether we have enough milk or packed lunch stuff, do the kids need anything to take to school tomorrow, getting their uniforms sorted.
Plus there are jobs that DH just doesn't seem to want to realise exist, such as putting laundry away, changing bedding, cleaning the bathroom etc.
I have tried striking, talking calmly, begging, crying, doing rotas, you name it I've tried it but he won't do more.
Oh and in addition to working school hours 5 days per week and running a part time business from home, I also take care of my disabled mum who lives alone so need to take her out/see her most days too as she is very lonely.
Am I the only person finding this whole thing a struggle?

Am I the only one who finds juggling work/housework/kids/thinking for everyone a total fucking struggle all the time??
