[quote=Anonymous]This is OP... Now I feel a little bad because we do in fact have a cleaning service every other week, and I am not exactly a gourmet cook - pasta and takeout are on the menu pretty much every week. My husband does anything I ask him to... But I just feel that it is all on me to plan, decide, and worry about. And it is the same thing every single day. Just the thought of packing lunches for the kids for the next day fills me with despair, and I am only half joking.

Funny that someone said I should try to go to bed earlier - this is exactly what started this incident. DH needed me to help him with writing something (he likes when I proof-read things for him), and I really wanted to go to bed early, so I said something to that effect. Well, he hates asking me for help, so he got all bent out of shape and this is what brought on his comment - that I never seem satisfied and make everyone unhappy in the process. It was really uncalled for for this particular incident, but I could also have been more understanding - I know what he was writing was important and it means a lot to him if I can help. I just didn't have it in me to be generous at that time...but I should have, and this is all just a symptom of a bigger problem.

I like the idea of journaling things to be grateful for. And I agree that counseling is most likely in order. I am almost afraid to open the floodgates though. And I don't have the time or money to commit to it right now.

I know, if I don't do anything different, I shouldn't really expect different outcomes. Thanks for letting me say this and reading it![/quote]
