Quote: Then he said while sounding like he was half joking and half serious, "You need to start pulling your weight...Get a job." I was irked -- it just rubbed me the wrong way. I didn't say a word though. I didn't know what to say.
OOOOOooooooooooo!!!! That just makes my blood boil!!!!! H was pulling the same sh*t on me last autumn and now that I've got a job he has the nerve to say, "It's not like you need the job..." Suddenly it's not so important because it's not the kind of job he thought I'd get. I work weekends and he hates it! Too bad! Just like you I refuse to leave my babies with anyone except H! Too bloody bad if it interferes with his golfing!
Stick to your guns JV. You know what's best for you kids and H can't make you get a job.
Sorry, I just get so riled over this topic! Our children are THE most important thing not some minimum wage job!!! My H thought that with my employment background I'd get some high paying executive assistant position right away but I've been out of the workforce for nearly 10 years and NOBODY wanted me. It even made me angry because my skills were 10 fold what they had been. I ran a household of 7 people like clock work - you'd think that would count for something. Nope. So now I have a job at the local garden centre getting paid minimun wage and H is Mr. Mom ALL weekend, EVERY weekend. Serves him right!!!
OK, I think that's enough venting. Sorry for going off on one but I just can't help it!!!
Have a good day and an awesome time "on your own". I haven't the faintest idea what I'd do with all that "Scotti Time".
