VENT!!
Ok does anyone else feel this way.. (by the way it has been a horrible day) Do you feel that your life has changed SO much by having children but your husband still gets to do whatever he wants to do?? I stay at home with the kids so i don't EVER get away.. most of the time i enjoy staying at home but there are days like today that i just want to get away.. My husband LOVES his job so he works all the time.. and plus he gets to drink beer with farmers and come and go whenever he wants to.. it is just frustrating as i wish i could just get up and do whatever without making sure he is going to be able to watch the kids.. Don't get me wrong when he is home he is a GREAT dad.. i guess i'm just pissed cause i want to go out with the girls and he is out with farmers looking at fields (i'm sure drinking cuase i know his farmers) ok sorry vent over i'm just super frustrated and everythin makes me cry as my children are so crabby and naughty today

Re: VENT!!
I could've written this post (minus the Farmers part). DH is a car salesman...so he works a lot of hours. Especially in this economy. He does get a salary but it's small- most of what he makes is commission so he needs to sell as much as he can. Especially with me staying home with 3 kids. (Financially it doesn't make sense for us to pay daycare while I work- I wouldn't make enough). I feel exactly how you feel though. I said it must be nice to be a Dad and just walk out of the house without looking back or stopping and wondering who will take care of the children. He just KNOWS that I will do it. But if I have to run to the store or something I have to reiterate 20 times that I'm leaving.
I do love staying home with my kids- it's the best thing I've ever done and I wouldn't want anyone but me being with them this much...but at the same time it would be nice to get a small break now and then and not feel guilty about it.
