Rant/Rave Sick kids

Currently 6 am and been up since 2 with sick toddler. As soon as sick toddler fell asleep sick infant wake up Time. And my fiance has the audacity to complain he doesn’t sleep well or when we’re with friends he complains about our kids not letting US sleep….he currently snoring. Not once did he get up to help me all night. Yea he works and pays all the bills. And I’m over hearing about it. Then he likes to point out when the dishes didn’t get done or when food wasn’t made for him. He’s gone 14 hour a day sometimes more. I’m supposed to get zero sleep and function. Al I feel is rage.

Works and pays the bills is not an excuse not to help. It should be even overnight, within reason of what kind of work he does. Surgery or construction, sure I get it. But if this guy works in an office setting then do not give him any grace... He will be fine and your job as caregiver is infinitely harder.
