Finding it hard in lockdown

Hello mumsnetters, I have posted before a while ago about a vasectomy and a lot of people posted advice which helped a lot. I am just really struggling with the lockdown so just posting again to hope anyone can reassure me and to help anyone else that is maybe going through the same thing.

My dw is still working full time but from home and I am a SAHP and we have two young kids.

Before the lockdown I was doing majority of all housework and childcare which makes sense because I am at home but dw would occasionally help with stuff like the dishwasher but since the lockdown dw has been doing less and less. I now do all of the housework and cooking and food shopping and also looking after the kids and trying to keep them busy and taking them out to the park each day and dw just uses the excuse that she is working even though she sometimes doesn’t start until 10 in the morning! We don’t have a massive house so is a bit cramped with us all being inside and dw wanting me to keep the kids out of the way so she can concentrate.

I know I am not working so should be doing most of it but she doesn’t seem to have very much on and in the evening says she just needs to relax whereas i dont have anytime to do that.

I am not sure how to bring it up as I want to avoid any arguments as we are all just coped up together and am feeling really stressed about it.

Sorry for such a long post. I just needed to get it out as haven’t been above to talk to anyone about it. Is anyone in the same position?
