[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I hate it. I hate my job and [b]am resentful I have to work full stop.[/b] DH works European hours. He's up at 4 and works until 8 and then does the camp shuttles, doctors, shopping, cleaning, etc. He then works during the short time they are at camp and then picks them up at 3 and does dinner/evening activities. He even NAPS daily for an hour. I am utterly resentful and hate it. [/quote] I guess I grew up with working as a requirement. I mean, do you and your kids like to eat? Have a roof over your heads? If so, working isn't a choice. I certainly wouldn't be resentful of someone who is up at 4am every day. I get up at 5:45 and get my kid up at 6:00. We are out the door at 6:40. School drop off at 7am and I work until 5:30. Pick up kid at 6pm. Dinner, bath, etc, bed at 8pm. Lather, rinse, repeat. Is it tiring? Yep. Do I resent it? No, because without it, we'd be homeless.[/quote]
