I love my blended family but it does come with its challenges. This is more a vent than anything. This week has been rough. My DH hasn't had to work this week and I have and the lack of help at home is getting to me. He's usually very helpful which is why im confused. My son is 5 and his daughter 11 and hes been home all week with her. He made mentions of keeping my son home with them one day to do something and blew it off. Said after thinking about it he needs to get stuff done around the house which I was happy about since we are moving next month so we talked about it and I said I was a little upset since my son would love that but i understood why. I talk to my DH around 2:30 today and ask what he got done and all that he had done was gone through the clothes in his dresser and was just starting working on his office desk. I'm a little upset that thats all he's done all day and couldn't manage to let my son stay home with them for that. On top of that his daughter has been extremely clingy. She was home with him alone all day yesterday and she gets upset that i wanted to speak to him privately for literally 10 minutes about my son staying home or going to daycare. Went AWe when he told her to stay inside and then came outside and interrupted our conversation. Came inside to her in tears. Ahhhh. My house is crazy this week and its exhausting me. I'm having a hard time keeping up with the house and work and making sure everyone is happy. I've come to the conclusion that the house shall remain messy and I can't keep everyone happy all the time. Ok vent over lol.

Thanks for the helpful hints. Things seem to be getting better today. I'm off the next 4 days after today so I will catch up on the housework and as for my son staying home with him I did have talk with SO and understood why he wouldn't want him home all day. Surprisingly this morning my SO text me on his way to work and said when he gets out he wants to go pick him up on his way home since he will be off before me. All I was looking for from SO was a little help. Whether it be at the house or picking up my son from daycare since he does pass it on his way home. And its starting to calm down. Thank goodness.
