Have been with my DP for 5 years, I'm expecting our 1st DC 18wks. We have just moved house and country. He's at work. I'm at home. It feels like everything I do goes unnoticed and only the things I fail to do are commented on.
For the last 3 weeks I've looked after our DSS (14) driven him around, hosted his friends etc. Made sure that his holidays weren't too boring or too hard with none of his old school friends around. DSS and I have had fun and I have really enjoyed spending time with him but I haven't had the time to go around furniture stores looking sofas, tables, chairs etc. I haven't made progress with the house. I'm tired and pregnant.
I shop, cook, clean, do laundry, iron, walk the dog and when he comes home from work. He sits, reads the paper and opens a bottle of wine.
I lay the table, serve dinner, wash up and still he sits. I raise the issue - "what are you being so grumpy about. I've been at work all day. I earn all the money to keep us going. You leave me to do everything"
There are some things I cannot do - I don't speak French. I can't call the internet company. I can't call the landlord to repair the lights. "not speaking french is not an excuse!"
I used to work. We did things together.
I feel like it should buy an apron and stay in the kitchen.
I this the 50's?
