My DH is very active in helping with my DDs. Sometimes I feel like I don't do enough. I think that is just my worry though. I think we have been able to find the 50/50 split and it is good. I guess as a woman I feel like I should do more than half. Anyway, I have one night a week that I go and spend time with friends and it is really helpful to know you have that "break" coming. Talk to your DH about it. Maybe he doesn't realize that you are not taking any time for yourself and need to.
I hear ya. It is so hard with the little ones. We call our 18month old "BullDog." He is such a terror, and he gets into everything! He is always crying, too. You might want to check if she is teething or if she has an ear infection. Sometimes that can cause crabbiness. It is so hard, I believe you. It doesn't help when your husband is complaining right along with the kids. It's almost like having a third! You are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with wanting some peace and quiet. You deserve it, you work hard. It does not mean you don't love your kids. You are human. Lots of luck. JD
Blessings, Suz

I know that having kids is tough. I have twins and some days are so hard.
It seems as though you need to tell
