[QUOTE="maxeygirls, post: 369921, member: 8869"] I'm jealous that you get to go back to work... is that more horrible to say than you can't wait to go back? :winking: Thankfully husband doesn't complain about the housework, just when I don't sit down and watch TV with him (Simpsons, really?), when I take my one hour a week to catch NCIS, or when I stay up to finish the dishes, laundry and cleaning and he wants me to go to bed with him. He has remarked a couple times that I could be better at keeping the house clean, and to that I responded "yep, and you could be better at putting your dirty underwear in the hamper" It usually shuts him up :funny: Shortly after writing this, his alarm went off and he started carrying on about how he shouldn't have to get up at 3am and how it takes him forever to fall back asleep (judging from the snoring, 'forever' is exactly 3 minutes) and I... snapped. I didn't yell or cry, I just told him I was fed up with him comparing our jobs, yadda, yadda, yadda. To be honest I don't remember half of what I said, it was 4:30am and I hadn't had my first 2 cups of coffee yet. Whatever I said seemed to register though. He had an "ah-ha!" moment and said "so what you're saying is you would be in a better mood if I put my plate and the girls plates in the dishwasher after dinner and gave you one weekend night to sleep for 8 hours?" Uhh....yeah. At that point, I explained it doesn't seem fair to me that I pull the 'difficult child night shift' 100% of the time during the week and 50-60% of the time on the weekends. Do I expect him to even remember the conversation (aside from me 'getting emotional' of course) this evening when he returns from work? Nah, I may be insane but I'm not delusional. But even if he forgets it all, hearing him say he gets it will at least get me through today. Well... that and making my 4 cup coffee maker pull overtime. In some ways this was so much easier when husband was gone. I may have been the most sleep deprived woman in the county (unless another parent on here lives by me, that is), but I only had to please difficult child, easy child and the cats. When I went to bed it meant I intended to sleep, I didn't have to explain my daily activities and nobody was around to try to compare their day to mine in an effort to get sympathy. [/QUOTE]
