Does anyone else DREAD weekends

[WeekendDisliker]

I am generally a happy-go-lucky person. I am 30 yrs old and a step mother to two girls (16+13) and dd (2yrs). My DH is 10 years older than me. I am starting to hate my life...

My saturday is spent - wake up feed dd, dress dd, dress me, go to shops, feed dd, put dd to sleep, cook lunch, clean house, do washing, cook dinner, bath dd, go to sleep.

Sunday - wake up feed dd, dress her & me, clean house, cook lunch, iron, cook dinner, bath dd, go to sleep.

Never enough money to go anywhere, DH never has enough iterest to take a drive/walk. Is this really what life is supposed to be about?????

True.

You guys are right. Something has to be done. Now just to figure out what. Can't just walk away without giving it a shot.

Good luck - come back and let us know how you get on.

Thanx Flashingnose, I will. Thanx to all of you for allowing me to see the obvious.

WD, I think you may have posted before about your husband and housework. (If not, I apologise for thinking you were a not dissimilar poster.)

I can certainly find weekends a PITA occasionally, if we end up drooping knackeredly about the house with various domestic tasks hanging over us (there are black binliners full of DD1's castoffs waiting to be sorted for DD2 as I write!) but actually, these days, I rather like them. However, I would absolutely hate the sort of weekends you have described.

Like everyone else, I think you have to take action. He seems to think his behaviour is 'normal'. I'm quite sure it isn't, even in the Algarve.

I have MotherInferior, this is an ongoing problem and I am trying desperatly to sort it out. Trying from all angles...

VERY observant
