Quote: DH simply sits in his room and sleeps or hangs out in his "four walls" while i do all the cleaning, cooking and child care. Now I will have a fourth child who is also basically helpless (although for 89 she is remarkably healthy, she will not leave the house). Her own daughters do not take her for more than 2 - 3 days. She now lives in an assisted living facility. I did manage to put my foot down to limit her visit to 2 weeks. I realize it is good for her to see her grandkids - we have the youngest kids in the extended family but my sons have a difficult time with her too. Please give me any suggestions that you might have. Thanks!
In what ways does your normal schedule change? Does your husband normally stay in his room? (What exactly is "his room"?)
How old are the children? Do you and your husband both work and if so, is it the standard 8 to 5, M - F type schedule? Who normally cooks & cleans?
