Last year I quit my full time medical assistant job to stay home and take care of my kids. My 8 year old had a continueing problem with a care provider I didn't feel I could trust anymore.
After I quit I recieved a job offer to work from home 3 hours a day doing practically the same thing I did for the Dr's office. I also work 3 hours 2 times a week working for the Dr's office I just left full time. I am the Den mother for Hubbys den, the fundraising coordinator for our scout pack of 50 boys, I am now the newletter person also, I volunteer 3 times a month at both boys schools too. I love it!! Love being busy.
Here is my vent!! My Hubby is a law enforcement park ranger with our state. He works every weekend and swing shifts. We will be married for 10 years this year. So his shifts are something I am used to. He used to be very good about giving me a break when I needed one. Which would be about once a month for a couple of hours BUT since the beginning of the year I haven't gotten it. He is on evening shift this week. He doesn't leave for work until 2pm and won't be home until Midnight with travel time and such. If he makes an arrest he won't be home until early AM.
I told him I had to work this morning at home and type my time sheet for my boss. I asked him to help out with our little one. Our almost 5 year old is home today since he only goes to preschool 3 days a week. Brian wanted to go outside with Daddy while he did some yard work. Hubby refused!! It isn't like he was moving the lawn or anything. He was getting things ready to take them to a recycle center. We have a 1/3 of an acre with a HUGE playcenter on it. The kids is good and doesn't get in your way. He is now leaving to run a few errands. Brian asked to go with him and he said NO.
I blew my stack!!! I am pissed!!!
I let him have it too!! He knew I had to work. He won't be home to help with the dinner time chores, the homework for the 8 year old, baths, or getting lunches and clothes together for tomorrow. I have all the laundry to do today, about 5 loads, because we are going camping Friday through Sunday and I have to pack for me and the kids tomorrow. I don't pack his things. At 35 he is capable of doing his own.
He used to handle things in the AM before he left for work but now doesn't want to anymore. I told him if he doesn't start giving me a break again I am going to leave the complete house work to him. Just because I work from home doesn't mean I am sitting on my @ss. I work and do everything we need. I do need a break once in awhile. He loaded the dishwasher this morning and you would think he parted the Red Sea!!! Give me a break!!!!
