GAL is tough when you have kids who are depending on you for things. Since your H is MLC, I dont know if asking him to cancel his plans or set his plans around him with the kids will work. My W is a WAW and when she was in the heat of her A that was all that mattered. It did not matter when I told her the kiddos needed her at home and were crying for her at night (S4 and S2 at the time). She got mad that I would dare try and interfere with her life. Now that we are S I have a stretch of time to GAL when she has the kids. I can still manage GAL at nights because I am staying at my father's for the summer and he is great with the kids at night time. You being in the same house and the primary caregiver will make it tough but you MUST GAL.
Even if you start small, GAL. It will do wonders for your mind and emotions. Slowly start increasing your GAL. Also as your H has to be more and more of the primary caregiver, he will appreciate what you do more. My W was a SAHM and it wasnt until she went and got a night job (where she started her A) and I would keep the kids from the afternoon till they went to sleep did I realize just how hard it is to keep young ones occupied and their minds stimulated.
Best of luck to you!
