Right now i am a young mother of two, I have a 2 year old and three month old, I work full time. This is my day....I get up at 8 in the morning and get my children ready for the babysitter. I feed them and bathe them and dress them. I then get ready for work that I have to be at by ten thirty. If I have any spare time in those two hours before work I take care of bill and business or I spend a little time to clean the house which always seems to be messy and I hate mess. I then go to work and work until seven at night. I then come home and I have to do laundry and clean and make dinner and get my children ready for bed. And then I try to be in bed by ten or eleven. I then get up with my baby at least three times a night to feed her and take care of her. This is my work week. Now my husband work about 35 hours a week, he wakes up just in time to go to work and then he comes home and does NOTHING!!!!!!!!! I ask him several time to do simple things, like dishes or take out the trash, or to just watch the kids so I can do these thing, because I really hate a messy home. And if I can finally get him to help, he complains about how he is so tired from working, and blah, blah, blah. And right now all I can think "Hello, do you think I am just sitting on my butt doing nothing?" I am feeling used and abused. And what make the matters worse we also have family living with us. My brother and sister in laws, neither one of them work and I come home at night and nothing is ever done. I feel like I am expect to bring home the bacon (as I make twice what my husband does) and fry it up and clean up after. This is not fair, and I don't mean to sound like I am whining. And when I try to tell my husband how I am feeling he turn it into a fight because he feels like I am telling him everything he does wrong. I took last saturday and clean my entire house. I have a home that has three bedroom, a sitting room, a living room, a bathroom, and a kitchen, and they are huge room. I watched my kids plus my sister in laws baby and in three hours I clean the whole house (minus the in laws room) and did two loads of laundry while watching three kids all under the age of 3. Now if one person can do all this you would think that the two adults who are staying home would be able to keep the house clean right? But it does not, and I have to do it all. I am really feeling used and tired, what do I do?
