no, it shouldn't be compromise, it just reminds me when I had my 2nd child and was home for 2mths, how I was able to cook, clean, mind the kids take them out and heal from a Csection, my H would overheat if I asked him to do more than 2 things and would joke saying "but i'm not superhuman like you!"
Thing is, he took so much because I let him, now and then I'd had it, hand him the baby and say "I need a break now" and close the door, despite the crying and fighting (from kids) I could hear outside my door. Unless blood was seeping from under it I wouldnt' open the door, despite a small part of me wondering "I bet the baby is wet and that he didnt' warm up the boy's food", etc etc., I forced myself to take my rest despite whatever crisis was going on out there.

Go on, take your 30mins, she sure gives herself 'til 9:30 to get to work, you should get your 30 darn it.
