My suggestion is to let him know that you appreciate that the change is tough and it is tough for you too. But you are proud of him for stepping up and helping and for allowing you the chance to grow and become the person you want to be. In return, he will have a happy wife and home. In the end, what he wants is your happiness. Maybe he sees the house situation as a stress on you and your failing grade and he doesn't want to see you hurt or frustrated. Have you asked him why he feels this way? This will change you, and him. There will be times when you will miss a soccer game or be late for dinner do to situations at work. Don't promise him a rose garden. But rather, focus on how it will make you happy and how that will make him happy. When his turn comes and he wants to do something other than what he does now, you will be there for him. Your children will enjoy the time they have with him and he will be able to share in the joys of your home more than if he didn't do as much. remember to let him own the responsibilities he takes. Very important to let him run the show and not have you correcting him. My husband took on cooking. He started by researching nutrition and it became a passion. Now he is much better at it than I and my kids ask him for cooking advice!
