Let me start by saying that, yes, I am home all day. I am not, however, eating bonbons and watching the stories. Most days I can be found driving the kids to and from school, cleaning the house, doing laundry, getting meals prepared, or tending to our many, many pets. I also try to squeeze in a workout if I can.

It really pisses me off that I live in a house full of ungrateful people!! Sometimes, you'd think the words 'thank you' are lethel. Some days I'd like to shout at them, 'Do you know how much effort it was to just get up to make your food?' My family seems to believe there is a little fairy that places food on the table at the appointed hour!!!

Of course, everyone has chores because I flat out refuse to do everything for them all the time. Mostly, they are done half-ass or not at all so I have to yell. I really don't like to yell and, frankly, some days, I don't have the energy to yell.

My husband does try to help but he's a total procrasinator. Sometimes, it's just easier to do it myself. He will say 'thank you' sometimes but, almost as a afterthought. Or he'll say 'the house smells clean'.

And the rest of my family, uggg!! I always get things like 'since you're home' or 'since you aren't doing anything'. If I say no, I'm a bitch. If I say yes, I'm resentful for feeling forced into doing something I don't want to do.

My mom can be the worst. I think I'm her only friend in the world so she dupms her crap on me. I DO NOT want to hear that she's contemplating divorce or what her sex life with my dad is like. Just because I'm in therapy does not make me a therapist!! When I put my foot down, she says I'm being unreasonable or I'm just 'crazy'. This is the same woman who, when I confided that I'd tried to commit suicide said 'Why didn't you just kill yourself then?'

I guess my mom, dad, and brother are glad I was the 'designated nut' in the family so they don't have to admit they are nuts too.

Ok, I've got that out of my system now. Thanks for listening!!View Thread
