Im feeling utterly exhausted at the moment and so stressed.
I work around 16 hours a week nights now but used to work 22.5 per week and things were the same then.
Dh works full time and understand he is at work more but would like him to pull his weight a bit more. He is caring and a good husband but i feel i do everything. I do the cooking, cleaning, ironing, washing, drying and putting away although he will do it now and again on the weekends but usually does half a good. So on a Monday i will usually wake up to washing in the tumble dryer. I sort out our finances and make sure school lunches and trips are paid. Do the kids homework,reading with them. Put away the savings for holiday etc. Meal planning, food shopping and the cooking and tidying and the school run if they are not at the CM, put their uniforms out for the next day, make packed lunches, I am also studying part time so we can have a better future and have exams coming up in the next few weeks. Our son has ASD, Adhd, speech impairment,sensory processing disorder and anger difficulties and i am the one looking at new ways to help him and reading books to understand his behaviour. For example this week i have been making new visual cards so he can recognise his feelings and visual schedules.
Im not saying he does nothing because he does take the children to the childminders/pick them up, mown the lawn, walk the dog,take DS to football club once a week, do the bins weekly and change them in the week and bath the kids on bath days and get them ready for bed but im feeling so hard done by.
He would do anything if i asked him to but i feel like i shouldnt have to ask him. Its exhausting. He will occasionally offer to do the school run if he is lates. But he will usually ask me if there is anything to do rather than just get on and do it
Am i being unreasonable to expect him to do a bit more and to be a bit annoyed that if i dont do certain things they wont get done? Like the kids homework. I am feeling sooo tired so maybe i am!
