[quote=Anonymous]  How's it going? Anyone want to vent?

I'm trying to be supportive and lift his spirits because I see the situation is making him depressed, but I feel like I have another kid who needs me to be the mature one and an endless source of support without needing it myself. We're lucky to have plenty of savings which at least eases my stress and while I'm usually the one who revolved her work scheduled around the kids, not DH can be the go to parent while I work more. He always thought I was so lucky and had it easy to take care of so much kid stuff. Now he's losing his mind with them, but he will never admit that he was wrong about having it easy. He doesn't want to make our dinners, which doesn't bother me so much because I usually like cooking and I get to decide what to make us. I suggested when the kids are at school he could meet up with other furloughed friends some and enjoy this imposed break. If they don't want to spend money getting lunch, rent a movie or something. He won't make a move and he just mopes around. He is trying to be helpful-cleaning, etc and I really appreciate that. I'm just sick of the moping! I know it could be so much worse, but I'm just venting a bit.

I am really looking forward to him going back to work! [/quote]
