[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is pretty much what my husband said to me last night... I wish I could say he was completely wrong, but I feel that way on the inside too...

My life revolves around taking care of my family - I work full time at a demanding job with a long commute, I handle most household matters, I am in charge of paying the bills and deciding what's for dinner...

And I am also not very patient, don't let things slide, and get resentful if my husband is sitting on the couch and I am doing dishes.

I want to move away from thinking about things with a 50/50 mindset. [b]I want to be happy with my life, instead of always worrying about the next chore, the next bill, or how much weight I need to lose. [/b]Ever since my second child was born a year ago, I have felt lost, unsatisfied, and like nothing brings me joy anymore.

Please, give me some small things I can do to start turning things around and feel happy - I have a lot to be grateful for, I don't know why I am so pessimistic all the time.[/quote]

I would take a lesson from my mother -- and it is one that I have been trying to teach my DW.  Lesson number 1:  STOP TRYING TO BE PERFECT! You don't need a perfectly clean house, or be the perfect weight.  If there are some things that can you can let slide at least as the household is concerned, there is no crime in letting it go.
