Have two massive work projects due in, DD has had recent severe allergic reactions and asthma she's 10. DD will ask me for anything she needs not DH. Currently juggling the house, DDs appointments, medicines, cat meds, administration, school , food shopping and cooking. My DH does his hobbies all the time I'm getting sick of it. I feel like I am going to lose my career , I want to runaway and tell him to deal with the essential parts of parenting I will be disney mum , but DD needs me too much. Women's equality seems to mean do all the house child rearing and work too thank god I only have 1 dc. If I get a divorce he won't step up will he? I will still have to do all the thinking and planning with the lifestyle hit. It's only dawned on me lately how useless he is because of poor DDs recent health issues.

Has anyone got through this and have they managed to turn it around. I'm cracking under the pressure of work and child rearing.

Please don't run away, it is hard to manage children and work. You are doing well.

Write down your worries on a piece of paper and give it to your DH.
Set a time to discuss what he can do to help support you, he is part of the family too.

Good luck, and pace yourself.
