Who makes sure they eat enough and healthy? Mommy. Who gets them down to bed at night? Mommy. On and on and on.

I can't completely empathize with you, because my wife is a stay at home mom. But I take days off now and then to give her a break and I tell you - it is hard work! You deserve a ton of praise for all you do! Keep your head up girl, one day I am sure the kids will show you how much they appreciate it.

Ok, now I feel like a chick. *hangs head*

As for your man, I am sure that if he can't come to his senses and give you a break, Mitch, Tommy, and I will gladly drive down to NC to help him understand the "importance" of it. lol - j/k.
thanks jlo

It is hard to feel appreciated or see that they will appreciate it...ever. Shoot, I have a 7 year old and soon he'll be a teenager and have me pulling out my hair.

My husband helps out, he gets up with the kids and gets them ready while I take a shower...gets them cereal and dressed. By the time I am headed downstairs with my robe on, hair still in a towel, he's gone back up to bed. He could help more I guess. then I attempt to blow dry my hair..which takes forever cause i was blessed/cursed with tons of hair. Then it poofs up, so I have to smooth it out or look like a frizz ball. All the while I have kids coming in and out of the bathroom whining and fussing because someone took a toy or my oldest is tormenting the 3 year olds and then my relaxing morning turns to me having to raise my voice, which I hate doing and going from nice mommy, to mommy dearest. I don't like myself like that.

I feel like I'm doing something wrong with everything. I feel guilt for not being home and then I feel guilt for wanting to get to work just to have some quiet. I feel like I should be able to do this all and not get stressed out, but I get stressed out, so I must be a bad wife, a bad mom, etc. I feel like it is never enough....everyone wants more, more than I can give.

I love being a mom, sometimes though I can see why mom's get fed up and leave. I would never do that...I cant even think of what would happen to my kids if I weren't around..they could end up dropping out of school, get pregnant at 15 and be drug addicts...not on my watch! this is stressing me out.

Not to mention the sex life...I am so tired from work, then going nonstop until 8:30, then working out 8:30-9:30 that when husband gets home it is like, "hi honey"...lets do it. I am so spent, that I'd rather spend what quiet time I have relaxing and watching Grey's Anatomy that I have on tivo and actually talking with my husband.

Not to mention quitting smoking...this morning I thought to myself that the only thing that actually cared about me was my cigarette and even then, those things were trying to kill me.

I totally sound like I'm losing it, huh?

lol

Being a mom is a thankless job...................But like Jlo said it will pay off when they are productive happy adults. whatever you do dont pick up the smokes...then you wont be around to see the grand-kids torture thier parents.

It sounds to me like you and the hubby need to have a lil sit down ...you have to be honest that you need his help more. Like Tommy said ealier it will effect your relationship and you may possibly become resentful.

No worries, got all the info I needed. Co-workers still won't listen but oh well.
Trying to say girls shouldn't do bench press, lol. Funniest thing is they wouldn't tell me why? A girl shouldn't, but why? Anatomy's different. How?
No answer. hahaha

But anyways vent all you want Hanna.
