[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]

Like I said, you should have married rich, because it sounds like you like to relax a lot.  As is life is not fair and we all have to work and do household duties.  You should not have gotten pets, if they are high maintenance, knowing yourself and maybe you should not really have kids either, or just have one.  I also like to relax, kick my feet on the couch after a day of work and 1 hour commute each way using PT, but this doesn't happen until kid is asleep.  I am also on my 3rd trimester and tired, but I have a toddler at home to take care of, and both of us work.   But we have a weekly housekeeper to do general cleaning and laundry, so that I don't have to do this and a full time nanny while we are at work.   But there is still stuff to do, we have to fix our meals, or do take out, we have to do dishes, garbage, bills, organize and tidy up and we have a toddler to care for, entertain, take outside, enroll in school and activities, etc.     And we also own rental properties that have to be managed, so DH is always on the phone about something and on weekends he is often gone to fix this and that, he has a job and a half really, and I am pg by myself with the kid and soon to be two.  I am one of the laziest people and I still don't find our lives that horrible or chores impossible.

I feel lucky compared to other families, where there is no extra income to hire a weekly housekeeper, yard service and have a nanny, who can stay later if you are delayed at work.  Most people have to do it all and they suck it up and do it.  You sound like a princess honestly.  I am glad your DH makes enough to afford for you to have a part time nanny while you take care of the kid, but sounds to me even while SAH you would not be able to handle it all, you would still whine, unless, you have a full time housekeeper, a nanny and you SAH, so that you can relax.  You sound very lazy to me, or you must have some health issues?[/quote]
