Basically title.
It’s the same argument we always have about how I feel like I’m doing so much more. He does a lot. He does the dishes (sometimes) and will tidy while I’m putting baby down so I have a nice area to come back to. He always takes out the garbages
I cook dinner. I mop. Sweep. Vacuum. Do the dishes. Laundry. Not only that, I’m on mat leave right now with my 10 month old who does not sleep and is breastfed still. She gets up at least 3 times a night. Last night it was 7. I’m sleep deprived.
Sometimes I don’t feed my husband lunch when he’s home, and then he doesn’t eat because he forgets. That makes me so angry.
I guess this turned into a vent post, but he’s about to be gone for a week and taking our only vehicle so I’ll be alone at home with our 10 month old with no way to leave.
And I’m having some people over today, too. Perhaps the stress of him leaving compounded with some fear of him being gone and doing it on my own?
I almost feel bad that we had a big fight. We almost never fight. But then I think about why I’m valid and then I get sad again. I know it’ll be harder with him gone but partly I feel relieved I won’t be picking up after him.
I guess I’m looking for someone to say they understand, or they have the same fight, or that work trips can sometimes just compound stress.
