I'm discovering a downfall to being home is when things get "not so happy" at home I can't leave to go to work! My DH works 3rd and my DD is on summer vacation so they are bugging me during the day for things that I really don't have the time to worry about! One of the things I get blamed for all the time is misplaced items! I just love how even though I don't touch it, move it, use it, or own it but if it's misplaced it is MY FAULT! And here I am during naptime having to convince my husband I DID NOT LOSE something of his. Ugh! Just leave me alone! Everytime they can't find something it is immediately put on my shoulders and they can't seem to live without it that very moment! Sometimes I just wish I could put on my work shoes and WALK OUT THE DOOR!

I know! Its hard to have it all in one place. I started jogging most evenings for 30min. to an hour just to get out of the house. This is huge because I hate jogging and it is still in the 80s during the time that I can jog. Sometimes I joke that this house is my jail and I have three little wardens (aka my children!) -
Lol my dh gripes when he runs out of diet coke in the fridge. Lol. He is the only one who drinks it. Lo

yep. my kids are driving me bonkers now that school is out. nonstop mess, non stop fighting/bickering, and especially NON STOP MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY MOMMMY MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYY! ugh that drives me crazy.
and I especially can't handle dh home during the week. He throws off my whole day. and during my downtimes when I can relax and have some coffee while playing a game or coming on this site, he walks in the door and thinks that's all I do or have done. He always seems to walk in when I sit down, and so it looks like i've been sitting all day, even though the dishes are done, floor is mopped, lunch is cooked and served, garbage is taken out, laundry is folded and put away.
I've told him a million times before, 90% of the things I do around the house, he wouldn't even notice if they weren't done for weeks on end like cleaning the toilet/shower, pulling everything out from under the couch, dusting, etc.Comment

I used to tell my kids - back in the day - Sorry, I'm at work right now, and my boss doesn't allow me to handle personal issues at work

So glad it's not just me that is going through this my dh has some Fridays off they work 4 tens but do work some overtime. We just had this discussion the other day we were arguing and he says well if u would get out and get a job out of the house you would know what hard work is about.
He also seems to come in when i have just sit down or on the Fridays he is home I only have 2-3 kids a lot different then the 7 i usually have at once. He doesnt understand and thinks all i do all day is set on my rump. i tell him yea i do sometimes get on computer or just sit and watch cartoons with the kids but i consider these times my BREAKS just like he gets 3 15 min breaks and then a 30 min lunch break. its seems to be ok for a while but every argument he always brings my daycare into it somehow.

yep...I also get the "you're home all day, I shouldn't have to come home to mess" or "i don't have to clean that, it's daycare mess" grrr....i've told him fine! I'm not washing your bacon strip undies, or rotten smelly socks, or your dishes. sort of gets the point across. but not for very long.So glad it's not just me that is going through this my dh has some Fridays off they work 4 tens but do work some overtime.

I hate the whole daycare thrown in my face. So I started saying fine I'll give parents notice and i'll go work somewhere else, but then i won't be home evenings and weekends. usually changes tune for a bit. I don't make much money with only 2 dck's but better money than I would if I worked outside of the home.Comment

I get a lot of the same responses with my dh and ds. Recently my dh changed jobs where he gets to sleep later now and doesn't wake up till about 9am and wont leave the house till about 930. It has not been till this job change that he FULLY understands what I go through. Before it was "well why couldn't you do the laundry while you work?" Now he hears the tantrums the kids throw with their parents, the one screaming baby, the toddler who only can communicate thru whining, and my dd who mimics everything. He understands a lot more.
However we are still working on him helping more around the house but I guess I should be happy he sees this much.
He'll even dream out loud sometimes and say when he makes enough money I can quit!! Ahh I love his dream!! Not sure though if its to destress me or have our house back :confused:Comment
