WARNING - this thread contains a lot of WHINING and includes the throwing of a self pity party.
A little history: I have CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome). I also have OCD. I'm a chronic worrier, a control freak, and a perfectionist. I'm sure all of that contributes to one or more of the following complaint(s).
DH was home Thurday and Friday. So for those two days everything was go go go. Grocery store, music store, here, there, everywhere! He doesn't understand that I have a schedule and a system for keeping this household running. So now I'm two days behind on everything. Two days doesn't sound like a lot, but with a DH, 3 kids, dogs, birds, etc it IS!
The other thing that has me ticked off, is that whenever we have to go someplace and take the kids he does NOTHING to help. He either lays in bed until 5 minutes before we have to leave (if its in the morning) then throws his clothes on and we leave. OR he sits there playing on the computer and then we're all ready to go and not only did I have to get everyone ready BY MYSELF, we have to stand there on wait on him to finish doing whatever he was doing on there, put his shoes on, do this, do that before we can leave.
I am really really tired of it. I'm tired of talking to him about it and explaining it to him. All that does, is get him to "try" harder for about a week or so or until I've gotten off his case and then its the same sh*t, different day.
He doesn't even notice I'm around 99.9% of the time unless he needs to know where something is or because I've gotten behind on things and the house is a mess. Then it's only to ask why the house is messy.
Please don't tell me to sit him and talk to him about all of this. I HAVE. It only works until I'm off his case then it just goes right back to hell.
