Maybe I'm just on a downward rollercoaster but I've had it today. I had to get out of the house so I went to my office.
I'm just tired of every single weekend playing out the same. Half a dozen activities on Saturday, drive here, drive there. House is a mess. Then she leaves for work most of Sunday. Through it all I'm head housecleaner, cook, and cruise director for the kids.
Yes, part of it is my job and I do take pride in my cooking and having fun with the kids, but lately I've feel like she's been cake-eating. I feel over the months it's become more and more of my responsibilty I'm tired of being dumped on. The last few weeks it's really been too much. I'm burned out and want a break.
She helps out very little around the house. She rarely interacts with the family but instead constantly texts on her crackberry, even at the dinner table! Spends hours on Facebook. Spends Saturday nights with her single and divorced friends then all Sunday morning replaying the highlights on the phone. Then she's off to work. We're out of groceries. "Do something fun with the kids but don't spend too much money."
I took care of the kids and house all last week while she was gone on her little vacation trip. The house and bills were in great shape when she came back and the kids were happy. I expected a break and some help. I expected her to spend some quality time with the children.
Aaarrrrrgggghhhh!!!
I certainly want to do all I can for this kids, keep our lives and house in good order, and be a great dad, but I feel like I'm being taken advantage of. I'm scheduling GAL activities when I can but it's hard with all this going on.
What's the proper db response for this? Need help!!
