It's that *Y* syndrome thing.
Here's a thought for you and other wives in this situation. It won't work with every husband (I know it would NOT have worked with mine) but I think it's worth "putting out there"
Can you task him with other stuff. IOW OK, Honey, I get the you don't know how to "fix" difficult child, so I'll do my best alone, but I'm exhausted, so could you (insert chore here - make dinner, do laundry, vacuum) tonight as your "share" of helping with difficult child? I don't know if it will relieve enough stress from you, it might. Some men might not go for it, but even those that will, need to be ASKED to help in a specific way.
