[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, it sounds like you do ALL the housework even though you also work full time? And you have a "messy hubby"? Then it makes sense that you would be stressed. [/quote]

OP here.  Yep.  It's not just housework--it's cooking, errands, all of it.  It just adds up to a lot of time.  My hubby does what he can but he has a crazy job and doesn't have much free time at home.  Maybe some people can effortlessly work full-time, and maintain a household with everything that goes into it, but I have difficulty doing so and it causes a lot of stress.  I am also not the type who always likes to be doing something.  I like to just sit and relax sometimes.  [/quote]

I don't want to add to the mob that's growing but I'm at a loss here too OP - if you did a poll you would fine that most of us have homes, most of us have crappy commutes to work, some in jobs we don't like, many of us also have children, and busy working spouses.

My DH works 12-14 hour days too (law) and we have a slobbery dog, a toddler who is completely demanding, we have a million chores constantly, and I too work full time. Most of us do errands - Target, dry cleaning, grocery shopping, heck even non-errands like clothes shopping - with our kids! That's part of the deal. Not to mention we ALL want to sit and relax, but sometimes life just isn't like that. I get to sit down to relax maybe 30 minutes for every 24 hours, and that includes sitting down to eat dinner with DH at 10pm.

Did you and your mate ever talk about what you guys would do once baby comes? Whether you would stay home and/or whether that was a financial option for you?

I NEVER call troll, but boy this is starting to feel trollish.[/quote]
