I have 3 dc. 9, 8 and an 8month old.
Dh doesn't really contribute much to childcare and housework, cooking, laundry etc. He seems to think this is my job as I sahm.
However, I never seem to be on top of things. Baby is frequently waking in night and I am not keeping on top of things.
How do you cope?Is your partner hands on?

You might be sleep deprived and more on top of things than you think, just feeling overwhelmed. I guess it is never ending and can be a lot of drudgery. Do you have any time with friends? Do you ever get a break? What is it that you feel you are not on top of?
