@ck90 Thank you. You’re quite right.

@jakob92 Wow. How incredibly scary that must have been! Thank you.

@polygon Yes you are absolutely right.

@katrina2017 I think my wife might be ADHD and other people have actually mentioned this to me as well. I cannot win with her. I’ve said this to myself so many times. I’ve told myself so many times “you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t.” She is such an impossible person.

@katrina2017 You’re probably right but all of those are for different kids; the ballet and swim is my 5 y/o and the after-school clubs is my 7 y/o and playdates are here and there sporadically, typically not after school though. Yes we are either eliminating or severely reducing clubs starting...

@onya You’re absolutely right. I got mad. I asked her: “Are you stupid??” She’s actually quite intelligent, she was just acting totally irrationally in that moment, as small children tend to do. I apologized after everything had calmed down and reiterated how dangerous that was and how she could...

@katma This is exactly what happened, drastic measures needed to be taken in the moment. Thank you.

@katrina2017 You’re right but the swim and ballet is for my 5 y/o and is separate from the after-school clubs which are for my 7 y/o.

@lina_jejushop Thank you so much for this. Wow, that must have been a harrowing situation you were in. I would have done the same thing. You’re right, we do what we can. We try to do our best and sometimes that means acting in these ways to simply survive the situation.

I was a pro musician and then music teacher until I took family leave in 2018 when NY introduced the FMLA - 8 weeks off from work when having a new child. My boss didn’t renew my contract. I haven’t played a gig in years. Today as I was pushing my 9 month old in the stroller after picking up...

@jlee27 It makes me feel like I’m going insane. We have literally had weekend days where we’ve gotten waylaid leaving the house and a part of that has been cooking for the kids and cleaning up and then there are days when I’m like if I don’t just leave the dirty dishes where they are we are not...

@everyrose Very good way of putting it.

I feel like I am failing. I’m doing everything. Kids to school, 2 y/o with me all day, errands, household, everything. Pick kids up, 5 went to an art class, picked up 7 at end of after school club. Tried to do everything I could to have them enjoy their day. Went home. They wanted to go to the...

@taylorgodiva28 Oh God I’m so sorry. It’s so exhausting and so frustrating and difficult. My wife doesn’t clean, cook, doesn’t do anything like that. I mean she could have at least taken the food from the car and put it in the fridge when we arrived at midnight but I did that and cleaned out the...

Either that or broken cognition. I’m the SAHD and I handle almost every single household task and I am frequently cleaning the kitchen or doing dishes. My wife has often questioned this, asking me point blank: “Why are you always in the kitchen??” I’m not always in the kitchen, but we have a 7...

@poppylavender Thank you.

@toysernis1 Thank you. It sucks. Somehow since I’m the SAHD I’m responsible for literally everything at home all the time.

@lnavi Yes. Me too.

@toysernis1 Oh because my wife doesn’t do anything like that. She also would have been pissed at me for not shutting with car window which was an honest mistake and it was after midnight and I was just exhausted.

I'm the SAHD, all day, every day. I take care of almost everything on the home/parenting front - I'd say at least 90% if not more. I don't know what is going on. We just took a trip to Florida for vacation. Before that, my wife was working crazy hours and everything was stressful. Before we...
