| Have you sat down with him and talked with him about this?? Guys just dont "get it" like us women do. They have to be told directly (how we feel, etc etc) |

| Men really don't understand how hard it is to raise babies and how much we need a break. My husband lets me sleep in once a week and thinks thats a break. His idea of watching the baby is during nap time. I understand he works and has a full time job but just like he needs his weekends to relax I WANT that to some times too. |

| I agree with all of your posts, men just don't understand when it comes to their children and having to be home with them all day. Get this, my husband things that I have it easy because I get to take my children to Daycare with me and he says I basically get paid so I shouldn't be complaining about being tired and wanting him to helo out. I agree with him in the basically getting paid to watch my own children but it still doesn't mean that he doesn't have to help out and it is hard work watching your children get into trouble at the daycare because every child and every parent comes to you about what your child did. I don't know to me it is frustrating!!!! |

I Love my husband dearly, but since the baby has been born, he is on my last nerve, and fishing a lot. I mean every weekend and sometimes during the week once or twice. On top of that he makes plans with his friends to hang out. We spend one evening a week with my family (parents, siblings etc.) I guess my complaint is him spending time with his son, and maybe taking time to make me feel appreciated. The other day, he gave me cash and said it was because I let him fish. I am tired all the time (being a stay at home mom to a newborn, and starting my own business) the other day I had to beg for 15minutes of peace away from the baby, and that was only because he was asleep (the baby not my husband). Its almost like my husband thinks I have all the answers and I like doing everything for the both of them. I have tried to tell him flat out I hate being so needed, without ME TIME. And I just need some time to be myself ALONE! Not just during the day when the baby naps, I need to be a woman, not a mommy sometimes.
Thanks for letting me vent a little steam...it helps to know I am not in this alone, and more than one woman is married to a man that doesn't get it.

| Ok, I have to joint in. My husband, bless him, is in a time warp. Yes, he is older than I (by 16 year), but still progressive enough to think it is great that I have a full time job (because I have to). However, he is still in the world where the woman cleans the house, does the dishes, makes the beds, feeds, the kids, attends parent-teacher conferences - you know, generally does everything. I don't usually mind TOO much, but when I come home from work at midnight or later and find all the dishes in the sink, I'm afraid I am a bit annoyed! I mean, do I LOOK like June Cleaver or something!?! Ok, enough venting. I mean, the guy is a really good father at least! |

| I suggest you talk to him (when the baby is napping) and let him know that you absolutely NEED x number of hours a week to do your own things and that he has to watch the baby becuase just as he ned to go out with his friends or golf you need time too and if he doesn't agree, suggest counselling. Sometimes things make more sense when the things come from a neutral person. |

| You and him should get equal amounts of time away from the house/baby. If he gets 3 hours of time with his friends, then you should too. Going to need to divey up the hours. Easier said than done, I get that! Talk about it. He obviously doesnt get it. A lot of men dont. |

God, bless us all today and make us find a way to stay in shape. The task is not easy, is very demanding. The hours are long and no sympathy is the pay.
"Pray, and do your best. Let God do the rest", once my mom said. And then I discovered help from the best:
Time Management
Dish-washers
Double sets of Washer and Dryers/The old and the new.
Asking help from friends and relatives
( To make through stressed times & difficult days and long-lasting weeks of continuous work.)
Speaking/writing about the challenges without fear, shame,
regret or anger.
Facing the daily chores with knowledge, wisdom and understanding.
Pray for your enemies. (apathy, unresponsiveness, insensible ways of ... others).
Not a quitter nor complainer. (It is a goal not a fact.!!!) . |
