Long story short.....My DH works 12 hours shifts but they are split meaning 7-3p and then 4-830ish so he gets home by 10p. By then DD is sleeping and everything is done (bottles, bags packed, etc.) I am exhausted!!!! I take DD to DC, I work 8hrs, I pick her up, We play, I prepare EVERYTHING for the next day for her, I get myself and things ready, Baths, Pjs, and bed. Not to mention she is teething and extra fussy!! DH walks in the door kisses us, showers, and lays on the couch to watch ESPN until he falls asleep. I AM SO PISSED I could cry...I am off on Wednesdays and I do not take DD to DC because I already feel like I don't see her enough but by the end of the day I feel like I've worked all day so I just can't win either way!! Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Trying not to resent Dh--Repost from 3-6mnth
Thank you! I'm going to try this. I feel like I am one of those "I want it done correctly so I do it myself" type of people and I need to let him learn for himself. We need to sit down and have a conversation before I go insane:)
This is what we do too. It works out really well.

Holy heck, DH and I just got in an argument about this same subject yesterday, only it had more to do with me feeling like I do EVERYTHING for the DS and him complaining that I don't do enough other stuff around the house. He is now washer of the pump parts!
As far as your DC situation goes. Can you put DD in DC for a few hours on Wednesday and take some time for yourself?
Yes I can. I will be starting next week when I am off, that will allow me to get a small "break"
We try to do this as well. I have to try really hard not to correct him if he does it differently than I would. Unless it's unsafe, I keep my mouth shut. If I do have to correct him, I try to be very careful in my approach so that he doesn't give up and tell me to do it myself.
