SAHM vent

I love my busy, crazy,life as a pregnant mom with a mil who need a lot of care. I am happy because I love my family. I also really miss my friend who is dealing with IF. She has been distant since august. Lately she does not even bother returning phone calls. My Dh still talks to her Dh but less and infrequent compared to before. I have tried really hard to be ok with her need for space with this Pg. However last night my Dh got a phone call from her dh asking if I could give him a ride to the dr this week. Dh hands me the phone so he can ask me. I tell him I can a's long a's mil does not have her surgery that day. We are waiting on a call from the dr but it is supposed to be next week. Anyway in the back ground I can hear my friend making comments about how M has to do it because she is not working and she has to work. Also I request he consider rescheduling it for a morning appt because it is right in the middle of dd's nap time. He repeats the request out loud and I hear his wife get mad at the idea he might miss any more work over his eye which I guess rescheduling might cause. I guess he has missed 5 or so days with this nasty eye infection. Now he needs some sort bump removed now that the infection is cleared up. Poor guy just needs a ride to the dr and his wife is being so mean about it. We a's a family owe this guy he has come to the rescue multiple times for my Dh. I don't mind giving him a ride to the dr. I am just hurt that instead of a favor it was approached as something I should do because I don't work. I work all the time round the clock. I also need more help lately and his wife has been unavailable to even talk. Just hurts.

  • My response to that sort of assumption (that I have the time because I don't work) is that I MAKE the time. 

    I'm sorry you're in that situation :-(

  • :-(  Hugs!  I'm sorry!  That happens to me too and it's always annoying when people assume you have time just because you are a SAHM.
  • That's just rude and inconsiderate. I would never assume that my SAHM friends are free to help me just because they don't "work". I am extremely busy the days I stay home with Elena (and I don't even have a sick MIL to care for) and would not inconvenience our schedule for a favor to someone unless it was a dire need.

  • It sucks thanks for letting me complain.
