Can people read article without taking them personally!!!!!??

The author is exhausted and comparing tangible projects to long-term and intangible work of intangible relationship management and ongoing drudge work. (She also works in health care, from home, which is likely case management, claims management, etc, which never end until people die).

Her husband probably gets a lot of credit for taking care of his own house and children (when he’s home) whereas she is home all day, working from home, contributes just as much but, based upon these comments, she should be…grateful? Because — most other husbands don’t DON’T ‘HELP’ AT ALL?

I think we can acknowledge that she is allowed to feel her feelings: she bought into the myth that she could have it all, she resents that Mr. Fix-It has all this bandwidth to “help,” and it would be nice if after a day of doing her job, taking on a low EQ job around the house was optional.

I’m curious if she pointed out different problems for him to fix? Perhaps: “Mr Fix-It, the problem is I’ll lose my mind if I don’t get 2 hours to myself tonight. What can you work out for me? Or something like that? And then make it a regular thing, like Mommy’s time.
