My husband and I work full-time jobs and have 2 children (2&5). I work between 25-40 hours per week. I cook all the dinners, clean the house daily and the car weekly, pick up the kids from daycare daily and drop them off when my husband cannot (1 hour drive), make and keep the kids appntmnts, take the time off work to take them to their appntmnts or stay home when they are sick, take care of all finances, purchase all supplies and clothes for the kids, purchase all the groceries, plan all the kids parties, etc, etc.. I am currently on Paxil (antideps) for the stress as we cannot afford to be a one income family.My husband works a considerable amount of overtime. He drops off the kids to daycare most of the time, cleans up the dishes nightly when he is home, does a load of laundry about once per week, makes coffee in the morning, and maybe there are a few small things I have missed-but that is "the just" of his current participation. Am I being selfish when I tell him it seems unfair?
