Eye opening week

Its been a bad week. My boy got pretty sick this week thankfully my daughter wasn't. My wife couldn't or wouldn't stay with him while he missed school. I don't really care anymore. I just don't get it. Its her son too. So i missed a whole week of work, and 2 doctors appointments staying home with him.
Me i feel like crap. I have felt dizzy and highheaded a few times. Head still pounding, im so tired because i can't sleep no matter what i try. Plus i don't like taking heavy sleeping pills with the kids here.
Im really at the point of breaking

I'm going to assume you're trolling here. Otherwise, I'd duck and cover.

@Cigarguy101 Then I'd considering why you think being a mother somehow carries different childcare duties than does being a father.

@Graylight my wife and i are separated. She is a stay at home mother. I work a full time job. Both of our children are on school during the day. I pick them them up everyday after school and cook dinner with them, do homework and any school activities. I drop them off around 7 or 8 every evening. I also have them every weekend from Saturday mornings until Sunday evening. I don't think its asking to much for her to stay home with him while hes sick so i can go to the doctor or my job.
Maybe im wrong 😔

@Cigarguy101 Assuming what you say is the case, it’s lopsided and maybe there’s a way to show the discrepancies to her. Maybe there’sa reason she’s not assuming more control. Parenting should be a shared adventure. There are scores of women over generations who feel your frustration. Remember, your kids wellbeing and happiness are paramount.

Remember that when you’re getting sick, one’s mood can plummet and be gentle with yourself

You need a chat with the wife
