HE NEEDS ALONE TIME???
I seriously want to smack the living crap out of this man. He was home this week so the baby stayed home too. Hubby seemed to be a bit stressed out so I said I would take the baby to the babysitter so that he could have the day (that was Friday). We were suppose to have a friend watch the baby so that we could hang out that night, but I had a rough day at work and I didn't feel like going anywhere! Today is Saturday, and he's going back to work tomorrow. The baby is sleeping so I ask him, do you want to chill for a bit since your going back to work tomorrow? He says "well, I'm playing my game on the computer 'cause I didn't have a lot of time to myself since I had to pick up the baby early from the babysitter yesterday". Inside I'm like, dude please! You had at least 5-6 hr to yourself. WHEN THE HELL DO I GET ALONE TIME???????? I work fulltime, come home cook, clean, take care of baby and your saying what to me? I really want to dig in his ass but I'm gonna let it go!


JUST HAD TO VENT!

Happy Sunday to you, Eva!

Know that your child is going to grow up in the blink of an eye and then you WILL have time for yourself. I used to dream of being able to take a walk every day. Years and years went by when I was frustrated because I couldn't get out to walk for myself. Now I am able to walk 3 miles every day. Your time will come. Just remember, each day you are getting closer to having time for yourself. Also remember that each day your child is getting closer to leaving your home. Take the time now to make memories with your child and then, when your child is grown and you have time for yourself, you can look back and remember those fun times with your child and not regret that you spent so much time angry that you didn't have time for yourself.

Here is a saying that I came across a few years back that has drastically changed my mind about anger and has brought me more peace.

"To be angry is to revenge the faults of others upon ourselves."
Alexander Pope

If someone has wronged me, why do I want to get a double whammy by being angry with them?

I understand your frustration and I agree with you when you say you are gonna let it go. I have found that letting it go works much better than being angry.

Take care.
