I'm tired of being responsible.

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

The mouse went down for a nap ... I got about 15 minutes myself, then the tornado sirens went off (testing I guess) and woke me up. Thank God Jack slept through them, but now, I'm wide awake because I'm thinking about all the 'stuff' I need to get done. The dishes, the laundry, the cleaning, the picking up ... dinner.

You can bet your ass that if DH had been at home he would have slept through the whole thing, not given it a second thought, and told me that the bottles needed to be washed after I had worked a 10 hour day.

I have come to the conclusion I am just going to end up the 'responsible' one in and I should just deal with it. I also have a crap ass headache.

    I am having the same issues.  I was home yesterday and got tons and tons done.  Has DH ever put away baby clothes or got the daycare bag ready, nope.  I have been squeezing in a few naps a week though because I can't survive on 4 hours every night.

    DH has no problem napping all day.  He "helps" with DS by taking naps with him while I'm running around like a mad woman getting as much done as I can while DS is asleep.

    I left DS with him the other day and he called me to ask where the diapers are? In the same place they ALWAYS are. OH, wait...I guess you wouldn't know about that. gah! And yea, I don't think the man has washed a bottle yet!

    Ah, hang in there, Totty!

    This is one of the many reasons why I'm a fan of "leave him with the baby for a day."  If nothing else, it'll make him appreciate all the stuff you do more... Stick out tongue

    so sorry. Same happens here though. I never get a chance to lay down or relax and then when DH is home I try to do my outside running around and he tells me 'why don't you relax?' umm...because if I do, who will do everything that needs to get done? UGH, they don't get it!

    I know how you feel.? DH is great, but I am definitely the responsible one.? I always have been and sometimes it gets downright exhausting!

    I hear this almost every evening after I get home after 12 hours away at work.  He walks through the door, changes, works out and plops down to relax.  I take care of everything else.  If I sat down to relax, DD wouldn't have dinner, a bath, be put to bed, have bottles for daycare, and so on....Who would do it then?  The cat?
