I have moaned on here before (sorry) about worrying i was taking too much on doing degree, working in stressful job and doing voluntary work and today i have had a funny turn. I started flipping this morn when i got up, got the kids breakfast started getting ready, showered etc, came down to find he hadnt even made a start getting kids ready and had just got them and himself some toast, none of them dressed and me due to leave for college in 20 mins! Which i should just add that the kids go to creche there and i need him to take us in as i dont drive. This is nothing new as when he has to be at college/work i get up with the kids, do breakfast, get them ready etc, while he stay in bed for a bit, goes in the bath comes down and read the paper, then gets ready and goes out. I do the same when i need to be out. Also he is off work for a couple of months and although i still work i also still do almost all housework. I was so annoyed this morning at coming down to find nothing done, he said he'd got there bags ready but half the stuff was missing, no laundry has been done for days and i just went mad, curled up in a ball upstairs crying after having a go at him in front of the kids, which is getting a bit regular and its something i hate. At college today the subject was ironically gender roles and how the writer is suprised there isnt more mental illness with the amount of roles we need to take on adn i just went out and bawled in the toilet! And have been quite hysterical since. Just calming down now thanks to herbal tablets. He is not taking it seriously. I always go out of my way to make sure when he works/studies i take over everything else but he says im being stupid, have tried talking to him again and hes gone to bed cos he doesnt want to listen! Thanks if youve read all that, feel better for getting it off my chest.

Sorry Chandra, that's really funny.
Sure it wasn't at the time.
You could start a new thread - 'You know he's not an earth father when...'

I can understand that. Very stressful running you're own business too. It doesnt matter that it will soon be over when youve had enough now is it?

God, I'm so slow at posting. I'm all out of sinc. Do hope that you can complete the degree and feel good about in retrospect.

jamiesam · 01/10/2004 23:45

So what will you do when business and degree have finished?

harrassedmum · 01/10/2004 23:48

One of my more long-suffering friends gets her 2 kids up, dressed, breakfasted, packed lunches made (inc. dh's), takes kids to school bus, walks dog, and comes homes every morning to find dh (who's done nothing) proudly announcing he's made her breakfast - pointing to a slice of bread in the toaster.
I'm off to bed, but I really hope you get it all sorted out with dh. Good luck!

No it's not, it was killing me. Now I'm so late with my dissertation that I'm also sick of it, I'm counting the minutes for it to finish... Having said that, I better go back to my work, I have a chapter due on monday and have just a faint idea about what it is going to be about (I'm working out of embarrasmentto be honest, I'm so cinical now...so please don't become me )

Good night and better luck tomorrow.
