Later after more pondering: Neither of us knows what our outside obligations will be from one day to the next. I could get a birth tub call, someone could have a computer emergency. Further, Alan has enough work to put in full-time hours, my birth tubs are the next thing to approved at Mad River, so I could be a lot busier here very soon. The munchkins are a full-time job. What to do? How can we feel like our expectations of support from each other are being met when we can't form any expectations? When do I get some sex? Do we buy land and try to build a house when I don't even have time to perform hair removal on more than one limb at a time? *sigh* I know there are a lot of couples out there trying to figure this out. I think I'm going to look into getting someone in to help me, and possible preschool for Connor. I'm so used to looking to Alan for support when my plate overflows, even blaming him a bit if I'm honest, but I need to change that. Maybe if there was some sort of household routine, it would be easier for us to take over for one another on the fly. And clearly we need some outside help. I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that running a busy household well should be akin to running a business, not something best done by the seat of one's pants.
