[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes and No

My H was injured on the job and on work man's comp for 4 months. Home... no job.

So I said, great you are a SAHD now, you will do food, laundry, dog, the schedule, etc.

The 1st month was a disaster. I showed up to a sports tournament on the wrong day and games at the wrong time multiple times.

After the 1st month he got a little better, but not great but everybody survived. What he learned is what I do it hard and I do it very well, he was more thankful and less critical. What I learned is that what I do is hard and I do it very well and he needs to help more.

When I am sick he is good about making sure I have everything I need and he can manage for a day/week/etc. Month after month after month, it's too much.

I have 10 friends that have had cancer. 2 H's were very helpful, 2 mildly, 6 that were useless.[/quote]

How old are you that you’ve had ten friends with cancer? Sorry to hear, especially about the DHs.[/quote]

I'm 52. It's really sad, I don't think it's the national average. I get a text like "add me to the list"...

Most were breast cancer, 1 wasn't. 2 have died. Some did not really need a lot of care...lump removed, radiation... some never told work. But think about it a H is also going through many emotions, they are afraid of losing their best friend and mother of their children. So often, when i say they can't do much, it's more because of them also being devastated and scared. But most don't have a support system and women do.

I also have 2 friends that are widows and 3 that have lost children. Life is full of suffering.[/quote]
