I don't mind doing what I do - its the saying he quotes "ITS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY" that is the problem... it just gets under my skin so bad as I would like to know what exactly is his responsibility out side of bring home the bacon.
Back in the day when I was in my twenties (i am 42 now) I use to do most of the household chores and the outside yard stuff and I loved doing it, but over time I developed quit a few medical problems that make it almost impossible for me to be in the sun for to long - let along for me to perform strenuous chores or exercise for more than ten minutes with out great consequences to my body and health.
I guess I am venting out load as I would like to have a little help around the house some times and I would like it if I was not attacked verbally (as it hurts emotionally) on the days I choose not to cook.
Guess I might have to go back to Wednesdays being my day off... its just hard at times to say this particular day is my day off as my medical problems may dictate a different day - then what. *sigh*
Any ways... Thanks for offering an ear and a shoulder to lean on.
