Am I Right? Or am I wrong?
We have 2 kids ages 1 and 3. My husband is a stay at home dad. He has tons of patience. I work full time. I try to take on as much as I can during work (running errands on lunch, making phone calls, etc). I try to give my husband a break when I get home but it doesn’t always work out in the rush for dinner, bath, bedtime. Occasionally on evenings or weekends, when the kids are really grumpy and I’m frazzled, I’ll ask my husband for a break. Not a big one. Just 5 minutes for him to help with whichever kid is grumpy so I can calm down a little. He’ll usually respond with something like “you had a “break” when you were putting so-and-so down for a nap. I never ask for breaks.” It makes me feel so guilty. It’s true he doesn’t ask for them but I try to give them to him anyways. And honestly he should ask for breaks more. I don’t even want to leave the room. I just want a little help when I’m feeling frazzled. But I don’t think it’s right to make me feel guilty when I need a quick break. Am I in the right or wrong?
