One thing motherhood made crystal clear:

Okay, I don’t want to say mad. I was shocked? Disappointed? My husband asked me about my upcoming class schedule. I’m finally finally finally taking a statistics course to start my masters program!!!! Anyway, he was asking me about my schedule and when it started and I told him it was online.

So he said,” okay, I’ll do my homework when I get now so I can help with the baby and you can do your glasswork when you get home from work.”

My brain did a veddy hard skid. I asked him,” oh? What do you normally do after school?”

He said,” I work out, eat, watch tv, you know.”

“Okay.”

Then I laid in bed just silent and tired.

My husband doesn’t work right now. He goes to school (he has an income and he contributes well). But he gets done with school at noon. I don’t come home with the baby until 530pm or so. When I come home I cook, clean, do laundry, look after and play with the baby, go to the bathroom( I squeeze it in if I can before 9pm). There is no down time for me. I’m swiffering the floor( mopping is too time consuming) , wiping down the kitchen, tossing expired foods, sanitizing the babies toys, sorting mail, working on grocery lists, etc. He, um, is not evidently.

It’s quite possible I could make the grocery list at work, the dinner menu, do class work, read, etc at work. But why should I spend every waking moment working for my home when this fool is ‘finishing up game series’ he hasn’t yet finished before he starts new ones and finishing movies he hasn’t finished on Netflix or whatever’.
