too much pressure on partner?

Med students with children, how have you and your partner coped with the demands of medical school? Do you split household chores evenly? At the moment I'm a stay at home mum to 3 (I left work when we moved overseas for my husband's job). I am planning to apply to med when we're back in the UK. I am trying to use any spare time to prepare for gamsat (evenings and when the baby sleeps) and I also do at least 2 hours a week (this week it was 15 hours) volunteering for St John ambulance. As a result my husband is having to pick up a lot of slack around the house and with the kids. He works full time and despite saying he's supportive, he seems quite stressed and unhappy with the new arrangement. This will only get worse won't it? How do med students with children manage?
