Advice | Carolyn Hax: We set aside time 'off' from the household to work toward goals, but my husband uses his to relax. Is it my place to try to push him, or even remind him of what he said his goals were back at the beginning?

I have spent my days off the way I said I would, but my husband usually uses his watching TV or playing video games, then announcing he’s too tired to do the other things he intended.

The issue is the difficulty in converting goals to action in an environment where just the basics of working or studying plus young kids are taxing people to their limits; we have mass societal denial regarding how much we’re asking of parents. And you’re judging him by your goals and what you’re able to do under these circumstances.
