First time posting so please be kind! I am not sure what I am hoping to gain from this, just genuinely interested in what people have to say and looking for an outlet.
Background - 33F, married, 5yo son, work part time, husband self employed full time.
This year has been a difficult one so far, my parents have decided to get divorced after 37 years of marriage, sister has suffered a miscarriage after 2 years of ttc with no pregnancies, the family dog has only a couple of weeks left to live..
I work part time school hours with one day 'off' - in order to basically do housework, walk dogs, food shop etc. in between the school run.
My husband works full time self employed, is often away. I am responsible for all school/child related jobs/clubs you name it. My husband would NEVER attend a child's party/ take DS to a swimming lesson etc.
He seems to make my life harder at the time when I need support the most, for example....I took my son to a funfair after school yesterday, rang DH and asked him to put some pasta on for tea (que huge sighs over the phone).....as ridiculous as it sounds it really p*ssed me off.
Any thoughts on how I can approach a conversation about sharing the load/and justifying why my husband should support/do his share more? I understand I am part time so naturally yes, I have time to do more.
Side note...I would love another child, but my husband is a straight 'no'. He finds it too stressful. Hence the undertone of resentment in my post :(
If you got this far - thank you x
