OK, I'm back for a super quickie First off, Betsey, thank you for your thoughtful post! I cannot do it justice at the moment but you certainly hit the nail on the head again and again. The short version is that I AM working on my resentment and scorekeeping as I know that is definitely the way to alleviate some of the issues. Also, as you mentioned WOA go far with h so I have kicked those up quite a few notches.

Things are much better. Some of it is that Charlotte isn't sick or teething in a particularly painful way and some of it is definitely what we've been doing at home...keeping up (religiously) with date night and as I mentioned above, giving out WOA. Even h has been great about that...the other day he even diagramed how complicated my days are (with the work/daycare/etc deal).

Also, Oldtimer...thank you so much for helping me to focus ...oops...dd is awake..I'll keep you in suspense!
