to Sometimes get fed up being the pivotal person in my house?

Had a bit of a melt - down today, for many reasons.

I know that there really is no escape, but I seem to be the one who:

reminds,
decides,
repeats,
Is asked what/where/wgen/who/how,
and so on.

Does anyone else get fed up with nothing seeming to happen unless they provides the encouragement or urging or reminding or deciding to get it done?

Hello everyone, hope you don't mind me nipping on this thread. Lots of nodding going on here, especially about the thinking, but before I digress, I just wanted to let you know about an event that JustineMumsnet is doing with Red Magazine which is very much on this issue.

Red are hosting a 'Google hangout' with Justine, Sarah Bailey, Editor of Red and author Sharon Meers. The event is taking place on the evening of the 20th March and is focussing on the ideas behind Sharon's latest book 50/50: How working parents can have it all, which aims to help parents stay engaged with their kids/ homelife without sacrificing their careers.

The event will be screen live on youtube, and we'll post it on the site afterwards, but Red are looking for two Mumsnet users to take part.

If you're keen to talk about the reality of splitting home life responsibilities fairly, the impact of life on work, and how you and your partner try to meet these challenges (or indeed any other points) please do drop us an email at [email protected]. To take part you'll need to be free on the evening, have a google plus account (which is easy to set up, but needs to be in a real name) and have a fixed internet connection, wifi might be OK but not ideal.

Any other questions, do ask on here, and please do email if you'd like to take part.

Hi AnnaLegovah, yes it's taking place here in London, but via Google hangout, so you could join from the comfort of wherever you are....
