my husband is soooooo wonderful

I have the totally opposite problem. I got to work everyday and my husband stays home with our two children. By the time I get home he is ready for a break and just want to zone out on the computer or read the paper. I try to be understanding and take the time with my kids. They help me make dinner or sometimes I just take a few minutes to play when I get home. Some days I am just so stressed from work that I can't deal with anyone let alone the kids. It takes understanding from each side. Maybe you can come to an agreement that your husband will take the kids outside for a little bit or play a game with them while you get a break and prepare for the evening with your kids.

You have a wonderful husband, indeed. I take care of my daughter all day. When my husband comes back from work, he wants to have a break himself. He does expect that my daughter has been fed and bathed before he comes home, but that seldom happens. So I carry on taking care of her while he takes a break. Sometime he brings work home and works on the computer. I take my break and go on the computer when she's asleep. That's my break, i think. You are entitled to your break. Sometimes when there is soemone to look after my daughter for a few minutes, I get worried when my daughter is not at my side. Even though I take a break, I feel terrible, like you.

Its ok to want to take this break its just human and I feel he probably understands that its tough work looking after kids. As long as you ensure you let him know he is appreciated and not just for bringing home the bacon but for his work when he comes home then I am sure he is fine with you taking a bit of time out for yourself. Just make sure he knows you appreciate him and it will be fine, and don't feel bad about it especially since he may feel he is restricted by having to work not allowing him to spend hte time he wants with you and your two children, did you think of it that way?
