You know what he is doing today? Well I do. At WORK, he has a 2 hour group lunch. Then, a few hours later, he has party to go to. His group has a party at least once a month to help keep up morale. Last month he had a bowling party to go to. A few months ago he had "business" dinners at a fancy restaurant and had lobster several times. This winter they went skiing. They also went boating. Last summer, he had several days at the local amusement park...all in the sake of "morale". They also have massage days where massuses (sp?) come and they can leave their desk and get a massage.
He is constantly going out to lunch at nice restaurants where you actually get to sit down and be served (what a concept). If his first meeting isn't until 10 or so (happens more than you think), then he may decide to sleep in. Or, he may decide at the last moment to run a bunch of errands..and he gets them all done.
My day? I got up a little late this morning so I didn't get a shower. Then I had to get up my 3 year old and coax (OK, threaten) for him to eat and get dressed so he could go to camp. Then, since it is the last day, I had to stay with him to see his day. Like I don't know what happens, I am the mom that is there ever single freakin' day. Then, after I picked him up, he was so tired that I was unable to run ANY errands today. We came home, watched Scooby Doo (You know, it isn't that entertaining as an adult) and I had to coax (OK, threaten again) for him to eat his sandwich. Finally, more coaxing (you know what really happened), he is in his room "taking" a nap. I can't do anything because he may at any second decide a nap isn't what he wants to do so I will have to put him back into his room.
I want a group lunch and party. I would KILL to have a massage in the middle of the day. I want to go to business dinners where I get lobster!!! But no, I am an unpaid stay-at-home mom. I have no life....

Sorry. I never said that my life is perfect. I was just concerned about her description--it is something that a depressed person

How I understand! My husband doesn't get to do really fun things like that, but I envy that 30 minute drive to and from in peace and quiet with no baby crying (or not having to know how lucky you are that he is asleep) and I really envy that 1 hour lunch that he is guaranteed (I am lucky if I get lunch it seems and my son is an angel!). I just wanted to let you know that I completely understand.
Just a little note: I want you to know that everyone on this board is kind and they all have good intentions. I read these posts and things got a little heated--the first I have seen. Hopefully you will continue to post and know that we all understand (a little at least!).
Take Care and hopefully those "terrible threes" don't last too much longer.

I agree! I have personally said to friends in the past that dd is being bitchy... I don't think of her as that, but on certain days she can be... so can I !!!!!
I would be @issed if my dh had all those benifits! I know I get much more than he does, but really, who hasn't ever wanted a massage??? Jeezze, I think the last one I had (professional) was when I was pregnant, and dd is almost 15 months now~!
This is suppose to be a board we can come to and be able to chat and vent, and make friends.
Lets not let one word makes us upset at one another :)
