DYK, Definitely sounds like you need a break....
DYK if I were to leave Sean would step right in and take care of everything.
DYK WTF - why can't he do some of that when I am here.
DYK it sounds like your need a bit of "me" time
DYK you can't keep giving, giving, giving- you will eventually snap
DYK maybe you should leave for a bit then?
DYK go for a walk?
DYK Sean walks away from all sorts of messes - even those he created or those he is responsible for cleaning up with the hope that I will come behind him and clean it up for him.
DYK part of the prob is I am so tense/anxious that I am really defensive - he made a comment about our closet not being organized like he wants it b/c he had to look for a shirt for like EIGHT minutes and I nearly exploded all over him b/c I took it as a hit that I didn't do it right or well.
DYK he never said thanks for packing, cleaning, purging, freecycling, cleaning some more and then unpacking this entire house while I was AT WORK and then came home and did NOTHING.
DYK How many breaks should someone need before they just give up and realize they are just not good at this stuff???
DYK It seems I need more breaks than anyone I know.
DYK when I said "leave" I meant pack a bag and leave.
DYK as in, leave Sean to deal with bills, and figuring out work and the kids on his own b/c someone else's selfishness messed up his personal plans.
DYK Make him actually have to participate in life and make some decisions - let him do the scrambling for once.
DYK Maybe I'll take the debit card with me and make outrageous out side the budget purchases too and not tell him about it - let him figure out how to balance it and make ends meet.
DYK Oprah is about a book called The Gift of Fear and so far, I really like it.
DYK I totally go with my gut instinct - even if it's rude or offensive to someone else.
DYK I am getting overwhelmed by how much homework my 1st grader has?
DYK I think it's still nothing compared to what some teachers give.
DYK I'm just having a hard time balancing it all.
DYK during this week alone she has to recycle something and make it into a pencil cup holder as part of learning about recycling (we finished this today); study for a test tomorrow; normal spelling homework; normal regular homework packet; PLUS a science fair type presentation that she's doing within her class?
DYK I'm learning about non-Newtonian polymers so that I can help her understand them and explain the reasoning behind her project to her class??
DYK it's due next Wednesday and we'll get it done, and I'll hope that she can present it okay?
DYK she has no clue that I'm a little stressed about everything she has to do?
DYK wow that does sound like a lot of work for a first grader.
DYK I'll prob go certifiably insane when my kids start school.
DYK if I'm not already there. Maybe I do need a pick me up.
DYK I'll prob start drinking around 5pm.
