Mothers, How Often does Your Husband Help With The Kids?

hey. just curious other mothers out there, how often does your husband/partner help you out with the babies/kids. i have two young kids. a baby and a toddler. and i feel like i do every thing. i understand he works all day. and i stay home and watch the kids, but that is a lot of work in itself. my kids are little handfuls lol. and i need a little me time once in awhile for my sanity. i do every thing. i clean the house, i cook all the meals. i do every thing for the kids, change them, feed them, play with them, keep them out of mischief, put them to bed at night, wake up in the middle of the night with the baby. i get so exhausted and tired. my husband might help a little sometimes. like hold the baby while i make dinner or some thing. or maybe play with my daughter for a few minutes. but then he wants to go back to his video games and just rest and be left to himself, and i have to watch and be in charge of the kids and every thing. and that's ok. its just he gets snappy with me whenever i ask him if he could help me with something. like to maybe change a diaper. i just get frustrated at times that he isn't that helpful. and every one keeps telling me that i need to just suck it up, cuz he works hard all day, and he shouldn't have to help. i understand that, and i love taking care of my kids, but i get stressed out sometimes and could use a little break. is this normal if you are a stay at home mom to take care of the kids fully 24/7 with no help from your husband. what do you think?
