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!!!!

I suppose I will have less to do in that there will be days when the kids aren't even here when they go on visitation. That part is going to be hard to take. I'm used to seeing my kids every day. Why couldn't dh just run off with his secretary. She's too smart. She wouldn't have him, lol. I just want this over and for life to go on. Dh still thinks we can work things out. Ain't no way I'm working them out the way he wants, lol. He ought to know that by now.
<<He thought they were insane that a father shouldn't have to keep his kids while mom gets a break. He said if he had a parent of one of his little patients that told him this he'd send them to a psychiatrist pronto. What a screwed up & weird world. Is that located on earth or mars?>>
Hmmm.
