being a filipino and being a mum i understand your situation Ross...others can tell u which they thought is the right thing to do but hey we were brought up in different culture, they got good point which i myself hard to follow and adopt raising my lil boy...being a wife and mother doesnt mean u need to embrace all the household and responsibility on kids all the time...get hubby to do his share and be vocal about your feelings. about kid waking up in middle of the night..observing my son he just wake up and ask milk when he not feed enough before bedtime...
