[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 112430, member: 1233"] I had surgery Dec 12. husband had to take some time off work or lose the paid time off. He carried over the maximum (over 2 weeks I think) number of days. When he was home he did chores, but mostly he acted like it was a vacation and he played video or computer games and listened to the satellite radio headset. He thought I was strange for getting upset to come out to a kitchen totally covered with dishes and crud. Or a living room with tags and toys and stuff everywhere. I have strict limitations. No cooking, laundry, bending, stooping, reaching my hands over my head, etc... I am also on a LOT of medications. I want him to come home and take care of things until thank you goes back to school. I should be released about that time. He is so offended that I even asked, and will act very injured if I insist. I cannot take care of the kids right now. Jess is hurting badly, still, and he thinks she should be doing the dishes and everything. He should come home and have dinner and watch TV and play on the computer. Am I unreasonable for asking him to take more time off? My parents have done so much, they can't do more, they are overstretched with my bro's kid and mom's school work. Susie [/QUOTE]
