I have a week off this week which I have taken to unwind and have a break.
I work in a stressful job with a lot of responsibility for people, where even when off usually it is on my mind.
I am due to start a new place next week so I have a rare week whereby my previous work is not on my mind and my new work hasn't yet started.
A week or day 'off' for me always seems to mean to everyone else, time to give me a list of jobs I can do that no body else can be arsed or wants to!
DP has had a week the other week where he has barely any work to do, but this week is mega busy for him. He's self employed so it's a case of busy sometimes and other times less so. His time was spent doing nothing, watching tv, maybe a bit of work, taking a nap etc. nothing for me, nothing for the house aside from the usual day to day stuff we both do (I already do more of).
So I've said no to the list of jobs. He's acting like IABU, I have the time, but then so did he a few weeks ago and didn't. Why should it always fall to me, why can't I just have some time off to do nothing or whatever I want like everyone else?
