I'm sorry but I just need to vent.

I swear DH just doesn't get it. He thinks he does no wrong. I try not to argue over who soes what or who does more but I am getting beginning to get upset. How is working a FT and mowing the yard once a week harder then working a FT job, doing 4 loads of laundry a week, making a grocery list and going grocery shopping with a 2y/o on a Sat. while DH is at work, plus cooking dinner 6 nights a week (so we can stay on budget this month and DH can buy a $1200 camper shell for his truck w/out touching our savings), I still have to clean the house, keep up with mine, Dh, DS, MIL and my mom's schedule so I can figure out who has DS on what day. I am sorry but he wonders why I am stresss and pissed that he hasn't asked me out to dinner for my B-day. yes it is next week but we are leaving on vaca. with DS and my family on Fri returning Mon and the DH goes back on 3rd shift for 2 weeks. Ummm hello I have work plans tomorrow night and Thurs night we have to pack for the beach.So it's tonight or 3 weeks after my B-day...no thanks. Yes i know I probably sound like an ungrateful b*tch. I am really hurt honestly. Not to mention he is training someone at work so he is doing 2 hours worth of work at home for free every night, yet he gets pissed when I decided to sit down and nest and not sit with him. WTF? I called him and asked if he'd call his mom so we could go out for my B-day and he said you want me too? Um yes please is it that hard? Can you please try and plan a little something for me without me having to hold your hand. He did and then texted me with an attidue so I end up calling his mom back and cancelling. DH doesn't know yet, b/c I am unable to reach him on his cell. I guess he'll figure it out when he gets home and DS is there.

I'm sorry vent over. Would you be just a little upset about things?

I would be mad but that sounds like something I live with everyday, except for that I only work part time so my husband thinks that he can gloat about him working more but the amount of work I put in at home goes way over his "real" work.  Also we decided before we had #1 that I would go to part time so that my sister could watch dd & it would save us money on daycare but I guess he chooses to forget that.

Right there with you. I would be extremely hurt and while I get the logic that you have to spell it out for them; there are times that the logic doesn't help my feelings. I think it's the whole idea that while you're busting your rear, he can't take the 5 minutes to think that you may enjoy a night out for your birthday. I'm so sorry you're DH is being like this.
