Help

I have an ongoing battle with DH over childcare.

His view is that he CAN'T be responsible for the children due to his work commitments. I see it that he won't.

He works full time, involving a lot of driving. I work part-time, freelance, mostly from home.

I gave up my employed position because I wanted to be around more. I wanted to do the school run etc. Most of the time it works fine. DH has breakfast with them while I get ready, then he gets ready and leaves while I take them to school.

However SOMETIMES I have work commitments which means it would really help if he could do the school run, if I have a meeting etc. But he won't. Even when he's working from home Angry.

This morning I had to catch a train and he wouldn't even help me put the kids in the car because he was 'already at work'

This evening I am late back and my sister has to pick them up from the childminder as 'he can't guarantee he'll be back'

Whenever we talk about it it turns into a row.

Help.
