Think of it as putting the oxygen mask on your own face first before tending to the children.<br /><br />As far as your husband: Yes, he should be doing the work of a stay-at-home father. He IS a SAHD right now — I know he's unemployed and he's looking for another job, but in the meantime he should be the primary care giver and house-husband. You say "everything" shouldn't fall on him, but, TTG, why should it all fall on you? <br /><br />None of these things make you selfish, although wondering about them makes you human.
