'DP' has been really horrid since I've gone back to work after ML. We have two DC and it seems like the more I try to have it all, the more critical he becomes.
I work 27 hours per week and yet he's always saying that I have 'loads of days off' and that I don't do anything. Frankly this is laughable to anyone who knows me, as we have 2 under 3's and I take them here, there and everywhere despite not driving or having much money.
My typical day involves waking up, breastfeeding, getting both kids ready for nursery, taking them there, saying goodbye as they are wrenched, crying from my arms, working, doing house admin/food shopping at lunch, picking them up, cooking tea, bath, story, bed. I'm sure this is familiar to most of you. What I don't need to someone coming in and saying 'fish fingers again?' Or 'you could have put some washing on' or 'well if she hates nursery why do you make her go?'
I'm so angry at myself for putting up with it, as I was raised by a single mum and I know I could do it but could anyone shed some light on why he is being like this?
Surely it makes his life easier that I earn my own money, sort out all the admin, try to learn to drive, make sure his kids are stimulated and loved? Why do I feel like he wants me to fail?
