To my husband:
Yeah, I know I'm busy. I'm sorry if it seems like I don't have much time for you lately. But I am trying my level best to keep everything in order and running smoothly. You can say that I'm always either on the computer or watching tv, but I think we both know that I am usually cleaning the house, doing laundry, taking care of the kids, cooking, or studying. Yeah, I do have shows that I watch every week, and some days I do spend more time than I should online. But so do you. You're always off in the bedroom working on that stupid machine you're trying to build, and you never offer help when it comes to cooking or cleaning. I have to specifically tell you to do something if I want it done, and if I'm lucky, you'll get to it eventually. If I didn't have to put so much time into keeping the kids clean and fed, and the house clean, in addition to my schoolwork, then I might have more time for you.
I know you're worried about how your back stuff is going to pan out. I, however, am not a fucking mind reader! If you need to discuss something, just tell me. Don't expect me to notice it, when you know all that I have on my plate as well at the moment, and then try to tell me that I'm too busy watching tv and being on the computer all the time to notice. That's just insulting.
Lastly, I will not apologize nor feel bad for going back to school. This is just how it's going to be until I'm done. Yes, it takes some free time away. As long as I'm in school, I won't have as much free time, but I would have more if you would chip in and help me out. Especially since you aren't working. When I am at school all day, and then have to come home and pick up, start laundry, cook and clean up from supper, when you've been hanging out with Maggie all day, something is wrong with that picture. I do more than my fair share, especially for a household of our size. And I'm sick and tired of you acting like I don't have to do anything school related when I am not at school. Attending classes is not the sole requirement for being in school. I have out of class projects, assignments, and studying, and I'd appreciate a little bit of respect for that fact.
Okay, I just had to get that off my chest. :/

You should show that post to him. It's reasonable and logical. If I were in your situation, I think I'd go off the deep end.
My stepsister has also gone back to school this semester, and is in much the same boat (although her husband is at work all day).
Oh, honey, I'm almost there. I'm just glad I am almost done with this semester (one more week). I NEED the rest over the summer.
