I am at the end of my rope...

...See more This is my first time ever posting something on anything like this, but I need to vent. I am a married man in my 30s. 3 kids. I work for the railroad, and am always traveling and often gone for 2 days at a time, and I'm consistently on duty 12+ hrs. I miss things with the kids, birthdays, etc. I joined the railroad due to my last job making cuts, and I needed a reliable, decent earning job. Well, often when I get home, my wife IMMEDIATELY hands all parental responsibility onto me. She states "she's exhausted" from taking care of the kids all day. Which I'm sure she is. She is a stay at home mom. She goes to the bedroom and does whatever while I'm taking care of the kids. I've brought up to her before about how I though it unfair that the first thing that she does is say "they are all on you now" after working 12+ hours, knowing I'm going to get called to work in 10 to 16 hours later. She gets mad at me and tells me how I need to help her more. I'm sleep deprived, depressed, anxious, all of the above. I'm dad, I love my children, I'll do anything for them. The issue I'm having is how my wife treats me like I should bowing down to her since she stays at home and takes care of the children. I honestly do not know how much more I can take. I just needed to get that off my chest
