Big Fat Lie
| Sat, 09-11-2004 - 1:41pm |
I'm the mother of 2. I have 2 boys, one is 2 1/2, the other is 4 months old. Before I had my second baby, I was a full time nurse and was making more money than my husband. That being said, he never really had a problem with it. The extra money helped us pay for extras. Well, I decided after the second child, that I would stay at home most of the week. I work only 2 days a week, 6 hours a day. Now all of the sudden, I do EVERYTHING. He does not get up at night with this baby, he does not keep the house clean with me, NOTHING I do is important enough. (He plays softball once a week, goes out with the guys after etc.) I do not do anything. (Actually I get to go to Weight Watchers on Fridays while my mom watches the kids.) I have no life anymore, and his life is fantastic! I tried to take a class, but he wouldn't help with the kids enough so I couldn't stick with it.
When we got married we were going to share all responsibilities, take care of the kids TOGETHER, do the housework TOGETHER. It was all just a BIG FAT LIE!!!!

Paige's posts
Cocnult Palms making a comeback when things are getting hot for Paige. Everyone needs a supporter.
I have always wondered about creating false personas for messageboards. I have a hard enough time remembering events in my own life. I can't imagine creating another life to keep up with. I was worried, at first, that people would think I was false with my weird life and widowhood but I have always tried to be true and honest. Why invest time somewhere where you are lying?

But the tone of Paige's post also remind me of sahforever.

ps: appreciate the honesty :)
If it were men, would they start threads like: What do you wear to do housework? Shouldn't every woman wear thongs? Porn is great for a marriage! It's the duty of women to have sex daily!!
It is a sad man that pretends to be
