I Guess Some Things Never Change

[whiteakerbunch]

As most of you know, I left my job a couple years ago to stay home with kids. Which, is rewarding in its own way, however, it bored me to death...you can only clean house so many times and there isn't much conversation with someone under 3 ft. tall.

I'm back to work and with 4 of 5 children requiring supervision, I went back to midnight shift, which is suppose to save us money in the childcare section...RIGHT!

I'm still the one cleaning the house, cooking supper, watching kids, now...going to work and getting very little sleep! What gives?

I clean the house when I come home from work in the morning so that it doesn't have to be done when I get out of bed...if I get to go to bed! So, you'd figure that since Matt gets home around 7 each evening that I would be able to at least nap for a couple of hours before I have to head back...he tries...but...I can still hear kids argue, dad fussing...at the kids who don't give a damn what he says...who could sleep through that?

Since Matt and I have been together, I've always been the "mom" not only to my children but his as well, plus I keep the house do the laundry, dishes, etc. It was suppose to be a split with all those things once I went back to work...although, he claims that he tries...I'm not seeing much help here!

Come on! I have to sleep to survive! Yet, once again...EVERYTHING FALLS ON ME! I guess some things never change!

Jun. 8, 2008 at 9:51 AM Hey girl I know how you feel. I don't work midnights thank God. But I work full time. When I come home from work I'm running the 2 year old and arguing witht he 12 year old. All this while Daniel parks his ass in front of the computer or tv. After I get supper done then i start cleaning on the house. It never fails everyday he says something like "do you have to run that vaccum cleaner. Can't you wait till I'm in bed." Now honestly what kind of problem can running a vaccum for 5 minutes cause. He's all the time hollaring sit down the house is fine. The place can be upside down and he says this. So I can kind of relate. When I wait till the kids go to bed to clean I'm up sometimes till one and two in the morning and get up at six. It's exhausting. Good luck.
