Lost my temper, broke down again!

As early as I woke up, it was already a bad day for me. My husband arrived from work and pissed me off so early in the morning. He took the printer inside the closet and I asked why he did that, he said it'll become dusty... there you go, that's how stupid my husband is. So I hurriedly prepared my son for school and brought him there. When we got back home from school, the dog peed in the kitchen so I had to clean it. I did, as well as the bathroom and the living room. Washed the dishes and folded the dried clothes. Now, can you imagine how tired I was. And how about my husband, okay I understand he's sleepy he just got home from work. But when I went down, the dining area's dirty again and his dirty clothes are everywhere. So I cleaned his mess again. And cleaned the garage afterwards. I finally got the time to check my email when my son arrives and asking me for milk. That's the time I exploded, I went down and yelled as if it's my last! I had to do it or I'll die. I told him I'm not his maid and I also have a job and business to take care of and I am really really tired after all I did! And he couldn't even make my son a glass of milk! Whew! I lost my control. And now I'm still shaking. I mean, if he doesn't want to have a helper, then he should at least help me. I can't give up my homebased job because he don't give me any cent! Last night, I love him but now, I really really want to get out of here! He can't even calm me down! I almost lost my mind! I am super stressed out!

I can relate 100% with you. Here’s my day to give you a view…I get up at 5am to prepare my son for morning school, do household chores and cooking till 9am, leave for office, arrive home at 7pm, sit with son for his homework till 10pm, prepare dinner and bed, go to bed around 12 midnight. I’ve been doing this for the past 4 years without any hired help or help from my husband. Like you, I’ve shouted and screamed and cried myself to sleep, but nothing has changed my husband’s attitude…its just the way they are brought up and pampered by their own mothers. How old is your son? My son is 12 so if he wants something, he volunteers to get it himself. I don’t let him coz most of the times, he’ll leave behind another mess (you know how kids are). I really have no solutions for you…we either have to endure or be on our own.

hello, Okay, I dont really know what to say but kindly please calm down.alright? So, you rest first before doing your job and after you calm down talk to your husband and tell him about your going through because you cannot settle this all if both of you are mad. good luck
