My dh seems to respond to my suggestions when presented "this works for me". I give dh specific ideas (especially because we have 2 demanding, high energy boys). On Saturdays, I have signed my boys up for sports and dh enjoys bringing them, practicing, encouraging. Also, I have offered ideas for engaging them like games they can all play together. My dh still feels exhausted after 2-3 hours, but the boys and dh feel like they've had fun. Then, everyone's ready to have me back around.
My dh loves our boys, but how to handle them and their energy doesn't come natural for him. I am with them everyday, so I had to figure out what works. I am happy to sure what I've learned and am still learning. I try not to be too frustrated and simply be happy that I am able to be home with my family. (Of course, some days are better than others.)
