Here comes the rain again..
The washing is piling up and the weather is foul. What's a girl to do?
Start with the important stuff, like DD's nappies!! Then move on to DH's work clothes. Or should that read FH.. He's been a jerk recently. I feel like a single mum with a flatmate or the hired help or the housekeeper/cook/cleaner/maid/nanny. I don't mind doing the dishes/cleaning/cooking/washing etc really, but the attitude I get is not on. He acts like I owe it to him. Just because he's out there getting paid for the work he does (and I'm not). He comes home and never gets out of teacher mode. I've given up hope of him saying to himself, oh, it's 7pm and DD is having her tea, I'll go run the bath so she can go to bed soon.
Nooooo! It's all left to me to do the cooking for us while giving DD her dinner and bath and get her to bed, while he waits for his dinner to magically appear on the table. Grr!!
It's very very windy today and raining. We painted the lounge on the week end and I got growled at that apart from the washing and a bit of dishes I don't do much around the house. Felt like leaving to his paint and ladder and walking away. But good wife that I am, I made dinner instead.
Can't wait to see the counsellor on Friday.

Hi Frenchgirl. I have LOVED reading your blog. I would really love to give you some advice. You say you want the following: to feel better about yourself, get some "me" time, be respected by your husband and most importantly to stop being someones slave. I have your answer. I don't care if you don't think it to be "ideal" at this moment in time BUT it works......GO AND GET A JOB!!! I was in your situ 2 years ago. I now work full time, I have 1 hour a day everyday just for me, no longer can hubby demand any housework done....how can he?? I work the same amount of hours he does!! More importantly a job has given me enourmous sell esteem. YOU MUST DO THIS FOR YOURSELF!!! STOP PUTTING HIM FIRST!!! STOP FEELING SO GUILTY!!!
