[quote=Anonymous]DB/MB split up this year, so my schedule is chaos going back and forth between households, grocery shopping, stocking diapers, keeping up with laundry, organization stuff and cooking for kids at two households, as well as managing typical toddler/preschooler behavioral stages compounded by everything in their lives being topsy turvy.  Extended family has decided that the best way to support DB and MB and the girls is to come visit often and tell me how I am doing everything wrong.  To top it all off, my 2-year evaluation meeting was due in early September and I was going to ask for a raise since my job now is SO MUCH HARDER, but they keep canceling/rescheduling because things come up and they are always out of town (oh yeah, and my schedule varies week-to-week depending on their work travel).  Now, in addition to not being able to raise any of the issues that are making this job increasingly impossible, AND not being able to ask for my much-deserved raise (currently $20 an hour for 2 under 4 and I do all household grocery shopping and manage all kid laundry and cooking including for weekends and I work 60 hrs a week), DB is now complaining that they spend too much on childcare and should cut my hours since I am too expensive, but the part time nanny he wants to hire won’t be in charge of anything but childcare, so I would be doing all the same grunt work in less time and just cut out the times when I get to actually play with the kids.  I love this family but I am so tired and underappreciated.[/quote]
