Vent
My husband hasn’t worked in over a year and a half. He’s brought in income through other investments but he hasn’t actually “worked”. These investments aren’t enough for me to stay home. I still work full time and commute 10 hours a week. I’m burnt out. We have a 5 year old, 3 year old and 3 month old. I don’t feel like our weight is pulled evenly. I’m breastfeeding so I’m the one losing sleep and going to work on 2 hrs while he gets a restful night. I do everything around the home. He does cook but he never cleans after himself so it’s more work for me. He just had a surgery and is out of pocket for 4 weeks. Which is ironic right. When moms give birth they don’t really get to recover. They’re caring for someone else immediately. I’m just tired of constantly cleaning messes. I wash the sheets and inevitably someone throws up on them. I mop the floors then kids immediately spill juice. This would all be more manageable I feel if one of us was working and the other managing the home. Not me working, managing the home and the kids while he takes on 25% of household responsibilities only. I feel like I’m the only one ever trying to better our situation. I just applied for and got a job locally which will cut down on commute and hopefully that helps. Still feel like it’s all unfair.
