[quote=Anonymous]As a little girl I used to watch my mom wake up early, get us 4 kids up, make us a hot breakfast, make 4 hot lunches, drive us to school, come back home and get ready for work. All while my dad sat on the couch sipping his coffee watching as if he was quite entertained by the chaos. As an adult I asked my mom how in the hell did you refrain yourself from hitting him over the head with a 2 x 4 and let him get away with not helping you? She said, honey it was just the way back then. Ugh. Of course I divorced my first DH after we had a child, when I saw the same behavior as my father. But looking back I didn’t work, he worked 60 blue collar hrs a week, and I expected him to help with night feedings etc and I put the baby first, ignoring his needs. I know now, I was quite selfish and a spoiled prima-donna. If I was more mature and smart I would’ve kept my marriage intact by being a more appreciative loving wife. I guess  my childhood memories of my parents affected my decisions. [/quote]
