[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fun part of your life is over. You are going to have a few years of hassle now. suck it up.[/quote]

OP, you're still living like you're single, whether you think you are or not. You haven't cut the cord yet to all of those ridiculous friend/ family social commitments that you think are so important, as well as your "demanding" job.

You are married now and have a child. It's not about you living your life the way you always did. If you try to continue, this -- or worse -- will be the end result.[/quote]

Lol.  None of these commitments are for my family/friends.  They are all on my husband's side.  No one on my side sees me any more.  I think people are getting the wrong impression though.  These social commitments (really in law commitments) come up only once a month and often less frequently than that.  It is not any one thing that makes life so hard; it is everything taken together.  I cannot refuse to attend SIL's wedding because a work function ate up the one night I was going to have to myself.  I can't not give DS a bath because I pulled an all nighter and am exhausted.  I can't refuse to deal with DS when he is sick, so I get sick too in time for a major assignment to be due.  It is everything.  I am pulled in a million directions.[/quote]

That's right. That's what we've been trying to tell you, but you're not listening.

You. Have. Too. Much. On. Your. Plate.

You have a husband and child now. You simply cannot keep up the demanding work schedule, plus the fantasy of "me" time, plus these numerous social obligations, etc etc, without sacrificing some of your own wants.

You are making choices about how to spend your time. Only your immediate family is non-negotiable. The rest is up to you.[/quote]
