Okay, I know I am being unfair, but sometimes this really bugs me.

I'm staying at home, and working part time in the afternoons. I've got two under two. I've been sick (and the kids and DH) for over a week now. It's been sub zero temps all last week and below freezing temps all this week. I've hardly left the house. I need a flipping break.

DH is home unexpectedly from work this week. Yay! I always think it will be so much easier when he is here. Like, we can go do something in the morning. Or I can sleep in. Or I can get work done without having to worry about the kids.

But it never is. He just kind of does his own thing. And not in a bad way - he is helping around the house. But I want him to help with the kids. And if he does, he will just help with one. So I'm still on duty the whole time.

Like he is at the grocery store right now. Which is great, and a big help. But I'm never like "oh hey I'm just gonna go somewhere, be back in an hour." Maybe I should. So now I'm trying to work while entertaining a baby like I do every afternoon.

And I can't complain because he is helping. But I just wish he could take over my job as a SAHM completely for a few hours one day. Like, instead of helping cook dinner while watching the kids, cook dinner AND watch the kids like I have to. Or fold laundry and watch the kids. Or go to the grocery store and watch the kids.

And sometimes the help just isn't that helpful. He spent the morning sorting laundry into piles that still need folded. Or he held the baby during his nap while I got the toddler lunch and down for his nap. Then I went back to the living room and told DH I was going to do some work. He was like, "well, can I eat lunch??" Yes! Just put the baby down!!

Gah. I know I'm being ungrateful.
