When it feels like you are doing everything

When you are a stay at home mom it can feel like you do everything from taking the garbage out to doing the bills to wiping the noses and the bottoms. My husband and I have this argument all the time and I usually forget that he is out there making a living to provide for us Everyday and he has lots of stresses just like I do. I get so upset if he is sitting on the couch after the kids have gone to bed watching TV and I'm unloading the dishwasher and moving the laundry along and so on. So, I try to remember that when he comes home from work he does not say " I need a few minutes" or "give daddy some space", he can barely put his coffee mug down and the kids are Running for him saying "daddy, daddy" or the baby is crawling or walking as fast as he can towards "daddy". I'm blessed that I have a husband that doesn't care if he gets a break until after 8pm (bedtime) or if when he gets home that I take a walk or go out for the night. So, if you stay home with your kids I encourage you to tell your mate that you need a break. Communication is the key to no one feeling burnt out.
