writes: Hey family. I've noticed lately that I am more of an uptight person than I used to be. I have 2 kids, and it seems like I do most if not all the work in my house, including earning the bread. My partner does the minimum, and he knows and admits to it. How can I discuss this with him, and how I feel without damaging him? I would really just like him to be my 3rd arm around the house. I need my fun loving self back, instead of being stressed out and overworked. It's effecting my character. Reply to this Question Share |

Forget worrying about damaging him, all this work is having a damaging effect on you! If you are the one who goes and works to provide for your family it is only fair he does his share of household work. Tell him firmly that you are tired and stressed and things must change. He is behaving selfishly and you deserve better.
