I'm Exhausted

Sillygirl85

I finished all my course work for graduate school last week. Unfortunately my husband is also in grad school and is still doing his course work. Mostly because he had to ask for extensions to get everything done. We both work full time, so it hasn't been easy for either of us, but I feel like more of the burden is placed on me.

DH has horrible time management skills. I will take Elijah somewhere for a few hours or a couple of times I have taken him overnight to my parents and come back to find that DH still has a pile of school work to do because he gets distracted and does housework instead of his school work. I keep telling him to focus on the school work. That is what is important right now

Since I finished my school work I have taken on all of the housework, taking care of Elijah and continuing to work full time. I am exhausted. And I am afraid that DH is not going to have his work done by 2pm on Friday (when we leave for my graduation weekend) or that he will have pulled an all nighter on Thursday and be exhausted and constantly falling asleep all weekend.

I'm just exhausted and don't know if I can stand another semester of this.

It's really hard to do all of that
What about saying "if x isn't done I am going to do y" and sticking to your guns?
Like, leave without him? I've done that w my H

I thought about it, but I would only be punishing myself. He and Elijah are the only family I have going to my graduation (which is another long story).

Is this something you can send him somewhere else to complete his work.  I know at the end the only way I could focus was to end up at a library, coffee shop, or 24 hour Ihop.  Less distractions.  I even went to the airport once and did my work. It was a great place to find a corner and be lost in the busyness.

I have a hard time concentrating on my school work at home.  A lot of times I will stay late at work so I can get homework done.
