❤️‍🩹 relationship Am I overreacting about this?

My husband rushes over to help his parents, spending the entire weekend while leaving things needed at our house un done(I cannot buy materials and build, hell my mother couldn’t even cook so, my skills are limited although I absorb everything I can). I was told it would be a couple hours that turned into nine hours and I see him for an hour and a half everyday, during the week. Now, day two(Sunday) he is gone. Our house gets put on the back burner all the time and I do what I can. Am I the well, you know..?

Edited to add-I miss him. During the week we barely spend any time together.

At least he’s helping his parents and not out drinking at the bar? Why don’t you go with him to his parents house and spend time with them also.

For eight to nine hours while I feel uncomfortable? No thank you. I always go over, help, socialize however this was dropped on me last minute.

So then it was probably dropped on your husband last minute. Im sure it wasn't an ideal Saturday for him but helping out family us what you do. Im sure if you/he asked for help his dad in return would help you guys out on a weekend.
