Work suuuuckkkksss!!!

in August 2012 Moms
I'm back to work after being off all last school year.  It seems like everyone defaults to me and my colleague for EVERYTHING!  No one just handles it themselves, and I feel like I am constantly being asked to do things that I have no reason to even be involved in.  I already vented to my husband, but I still feel like running away.  Then I just saw a mom post on Parenting about her productive day at home, how everything was clean, dinner was in the crockpot, etc., and I felt sad and jealous and I miss my maternity leave!!!!  Then my husband starts night cycle tonight for the next 5 nights so I am on my own, and DS has his one year visit tonight so he has to get all of his shots.  And one of my snarky co-workers says "Oh, you are going to have him get all of his shots? I'm surprised. Well, we didnt do that."  F off and stop being so judgemental!  Argh!!!  vent over.

    If it makes you feel better I SAH and my house is NEVER clean, I haven't even THOUGHT about dinner, my big kids are watching the Simpsons while eating corndogs and popsicles and Em is finally napping after having been up 6 times last night attached to my boob.  And there is a poopy diaper sitting on the bathroom counter wafting its smelly reminder to me that it needs to be swished in the toilet.

    And if that doesn't make you feel any better, HUGS!  I'm sorry it's a crappy day!  Major eye roll to snarky co worker!

    Lol @gollywollypog, yes, that does make me feel better.  And a corndog sounds great right about now. Honestly, my house was never clean when I SAH either.  Its only clean now on Wednesdays because I hired someone, so at least I have that to go home to! 

     

    The best part is the judgmental co-worker is a man who just does whatever his wife says parenting wise, and has no control over the decision making in his household, so seriously mind your own business.

    Ugh, I'm sorry! People need to keep it to themselves.

    Also, like GWP, I SAH and my house is a nightmare and dinner will be whatever I can cook in 30 minutes while a screaming toddler clings to my leg. I have people on my FB newsfeed who post about their spotless houses and lovely dinners and I can't figure out how it happens.

    i feel like the only way to have a spotless house is to have drastically different priorities than I do.  My friend is in pretty much the same boat as me....just returning to work after maternity leave.  Her house is ALWAYS spotless.  But she is stressed to the max.  All she does is tell me how she has no time, that from the moment she picks up her DD from daycare she is busy getting stuff ready for the next day, cleaning, etc.  My house might not be super tidy, but I have been able to take walks, play with my kid, nap, etc, every evening.  I'll take the mess.  For me the only way for it to happen would be for me to be miserable, and I feel like life is too short.
