I do a lot around the house - all of the cooking (although my 15 year old helps out quite a bit) - a lot of the cleaning (everyone pitches in if I ask, but I just fit the majority of it into my daily routine) - grocery shopping - laundry (kids do their own)...
I don't think I look mad. I probably look tired since the workload has doubled with everyone home and the extra precautions. DH is working from home and since I have the only office, he is using my quiet space in our bedroom (nice nook with comfy chair, bookcase, small table and a good view of animals in our backyard). Today dusting/vaccuming/straighening our bedroom and bathroom is on my list and he offered to do all of it. He wants me to just relax. Keeps giving me funny looks like I am going to explode any minute.
**I swear I am perfectly calm and in a good mood. Do you think he secretly read some of the threads here about husbands not pitching in? LOL

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth! Just let him do it and relax as he has offered.  |

Just remember, don't criticize how he does it or it will never happen again! oohhh! Thanks for the reminder! Mostly I question WHEN he is going to do it. I was planning on doing it today, but I don't know when this week it might get done. LOL |

Aw that's so sweet of him. Do you think it has never occurred to him before just how much you do, because he's never been there to see you do it?

I would try to understand the look I have and the vibe I'm giving off so I could duplicate in the future. You know, when the bathrooms need to be cleaned...  |

My dh does a lot here, because I cannot. I've learned to just relax and say, "THANK YOU!"

Wow!, My husband would A-never notice I was stressed or overworked and B-never offer to do it all while I relaxed. 😩
