Wow, what a handful! the fact that you can write a coherant sentence on BB is the mark of how well you are coping, even though you certainly don't think you are!

On a side, I work full time, about 50 hours a week including travel. I get home and roll my sleeves up and am straight into reading/cooking/cleaning/bathing/feeding/cuddling etc. Sometimes I do 2 or 3 at once, eg cuddling and cooking (not the safest way, but multitasking is a combat sport right?). Once DS is in bed by about 7.30 I help DH clean up (or clean up while he is watching the news). At around 9.30ish I head to bed, and DH wonders why I am "not in the mood".

Is it any wonder that women are stronger and better equipped with life than men? If your DH was a woman, he would cancel his cricket, or find some way of making a family event out of it where everyone has a good time whilst learning and growing developmentally. He would pack the picnic full of nutritious and yummy snacks, and would even remember the insect repellant.

At the end of the day you could put your feet up and he would lovingly massage them, whilst making you a cup of tea, and finishing off your uni assignment for you.

Unfortunatley we let them get away with so much, and our expectations are so little. I suffer this too, so am certainly not being judgemental.

So chin up babe, sounds like you have a classic case of Manhood on your hands. THere is no cure I am afraid, other than trying to alleviate some of the pressure through day care, hairdressers, family assistance, and if all else fails, I hear wine works a treat!
