I used to. I did all the housework and the baby looking after and the budgetting and DH went fishing and left me to it. He slept on a campbed in the nursery because Liebling slept in a moses basket in our room.
But now - even though I do 90% of the parenting to one boy (and the other 10% is to two boys LOL) not so much. I still do most the parenting and the housework, but DH does get up at night if I need him to. I go away 3 times a year to my parents' without him: it brings home how much he does do. I have a renovated house - nearly finished. And DH did it all - well, OK, I did some. And DS has been very helpful when I'm not around.
I think because I go away more I appreciate him more. He works very hard and I know that annoys me when he's tired and grumpy but he is doing REALLY well in his career. And has started to talk about moving into a different industry next year to support my wishes to move.
I still get no help when DH is "ill" or when I am ill. They still drive me bonkers. But for some reason, because we're looking forward out of this, is seems managable now.
