(And as soon as I don’t want to/feel like sh*t and can’t bring myself to do something…
They act like I never did crap for them.)
I cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for my husband everyday.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner for my step son when he isn’t at school.
I’m the only one who tries to clean…
Then, on the off day I don’t want to cook dinner or can’t bring myself to…
They throw their hands in the air and act like I do nothing…
My husband even commented to me sarcastically and rudely “wow you must have had a hard day” (because he had to make him and our son a bagged salad, really?)
And it was. Harder than normal at least. Mentally.
I feel so unappreciated here.
I’m tired of it.
I try to reason and say “well, I wouldn’t be able to go to work 5 days a week, he pays for everything”
I can relate to how you are feeling.
I am a housewife because I don’t have any education or the mental stamina to keep a job. My husband earns the money but I do the cleaning, cooking, laundry and all that homemaker stuff for my husband and daughter. Now I love my role as wife and mom but it is not an easy job and there are days when I completely feel unappreciated and I just need to vent.
Absolutely- vent away! I get this feeling a lot and I find after I get some time to myself and I leave the cleanup and stuff to the family that they always come around to appreciating me again. Venting, as long as it is not too bad, works.
