to not want to work full time?

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

Due to skintness and DH now out of a job I have upped my hours.

I. Am. Knackered.

I know I am U but I like having 3 days off a week. I am simply too lazy and too feeble to work hard.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

I am also a little tetchy so may swear at people who reply wrongly.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

I am not U as nobody cares. Humph.

[RandomMess]

Is DH doing all the house stuff? Or are you doing as much as before?

[catgirl1976]

YANBU

Have you bought a lottery ticket?

[AgentZigzag]

How's your DH at handling not having a job?

Does he take the lions share of jobs round the house?

What's the chances of him getting something else soon?

I don't often hand them out, but you sound like you could do with one

[CabbageLeaves]

In view of your 2nd post I have to say you're being damn reasonable about this and should probably get a new year gong for your sacrifices

I recommend ditching the whole job immediately for your sanity and just hoping for finances to right themselves

Life's too short and all that....

[Ambi]

I felt the same when DH was made redundant and I had to go full time. You have my sympathies.

[AgentZigzag]

Ooh, good idea catgirl, I've not done the lottery in ages.

If I win big I'll let you have a cut

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

I didn't do housework or cooking before.



No lottery ticket today. Didn't win last week.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

Cabbage - that sounds like a plan.

And I shall have

you fuckers.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

And what is the flaming point of having a househusband if he doesn't put the blasted in the fridge until half past 5?

[catgirl1976]

Ooh thanks AgentZigZag

I haven't got a ticket but I don't want to work ft either

[BluelightsAndSirens]

Ltb

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

If I LTBd who would cook for me?

[MrsRajeshKoothrappali]

I had to do that when DP was made redundant.

Fecking hard when you're not used to it.

Here:

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

I did have a particularly lovely morning today. So don't know why i'm whinging so much.

V tired though.

[McNewPants2013]

It will take time to adjust need to train him better to have the wine in the fridge :)

[pointythings]

I've always worked f/t, but I still say YANBU. It's tough, and it will take you months to adjust. Be kind to yourself and give yourself time.

And the thing with the wine is Not On.

[ilovesooty]

Seriously - you didn't do any housework or cooking when you worked for 2 days a week?

[SauvignonBlanche]

YANBU.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

I worked 4 days a week. As did DH. Now up to 5.

But no. No housework or cooking. I'm not cut out for domesticity.

[SauvignonBlanche]

It's very overrated, in fact one of the reasons I went back full time.

[ilovesooty]

Oh, I see - I forgot about the 2 days at the weekend. I expect you did the other things round the house, like the DIY and gardening then.

[TaggieCampbellBlack]

Not really no.

I make cakes. And hoover. And fo the dishwasher. And most exhausting and difficult I get DD2 to school.

[catladycourtney1]

YANBU. I work (well, I did until I went off on maternity leave last week) part-time - every day but short shifts - and if I ever have to work a full day, like for training or if my weekend place of work is closed and I have to make the hours up in the week, I am KNACKERED. I really don't know how people do it.

And I also have to be forced at gunpoint in a very very good mood to do any cooking or cleaning, even though I only work half days.
