This means that I need more help from you in all these ways" and then I listed all the jobs I do that I needed him to help me with in the running of our household. He basically said uh, yeah. Nope. My job trumps yours. Which was infuriating!! Over time he has stepped up and reorganized himself a little to revolve around our needs, which I have been doing for years We have had many conversations about him having to sacrifice a little for the good of the unit, which was totally unfamiliar territory for him. And he has learned not to be okay with the overflowing laundry basket, if only because he knows I'll flip out if I see it.

I try and shit of all down when they get home from school, but that means I lose time, especially if I've had to spend some of my day grocery shopping or running errands, or you know what? Sometimes I just want to be selfish and do something for me. So then I end up working at night as well. It's so hard to balance!
