I really am at the end of my tether with DH (after 3 weeks of him being so!!). I have been told of a job which would be great for me - it would mean DS was in childcare for a short time 2 days a week and someone else would have to pick DD up but it would mean I feel like I am doing something with my brain and contributing to the household (which is a big issue for me!) but DH is dead against it.

He likes me being at home and I think he sees him having to sort the kids out and bathe them and put them to bed 2 days a week as hassle when I am here to help at the moment, I do all the housework and the shopping (well it comes in a van once a week!) but I sit and order it!! He says I get time to myself but to be honset I go to the gym everyday and thats about it - occassionally I have a night out with one of my friends or my PNG but thats it really and I feel like I want something else in life.

DS is a nightmare with food too and I bet if he had to eat somewhere else 2 nights a week - somewhere where he saw other kids just didn;t eat sausages and chips and cucumber he would maybe eat something else!!

So I need some help with what I can say to convince him that its a good idea at the end of the day - he even had the gall to say that it woulod interfere with him going to see Arsenal play in the champions league and that would be really upsetting for him!!!

HELP!!!!
