Sounds like, to him, this job is an enormous opportunity. He need not complain about housework, however. Since he's home weekdays, at this point, seems fair and reasonable for him, to pitch in a little more, in that aspect. Since, he is home, weekdays, can he pencil in some family time, with the kids, before you get home from work?
Sounds, like much to compromise, as far as adjusting to the new schedule and routine. Reality, is, many people in this world, work alternate work shifts.
Selling the house, and asking him, to quit, don't sound like very compromising solutions. Scheduling time, and his helping out more, to alleviate your stress, does. Is he present, at all, since his hours are overnight hours and not daytime hours? Is he sleeping the weekends away, and letting you take the brunt of the weekend stressors that come with parenting?
I remember, in marriage, feeling like a single mom, when my then husband was working 60-70 hours a week, and I was home raising three kids, and attending to his nitpicking demands. Are these weekends, 40 hour weekends, or 36 hours? Can he adjust his sleep schedule, to spend time with you and your kids?
