Heather, I think we've known each other long enough for you to ask me anything! Yes, I'm frustrated. I try not to beat him down with it. But when I get home and the dishes aren't done, it's all I can do not to say anything. What pisses me off even more is the fact that he won't watch the kids even a few days a week to help out with costs. I even still pick them up from daycare because he says it would be stupid for him to go back into town. What's stupid is that I could work late and make extra money, but I can't. Let's see, he hasn't cleaned the bathroom in the 3 1/2 months he's been off ( I have), floors mopped sporadically, laundy done, but not put up. Kids' clothes never, ever put up (he says he doesn't know where they are). Now, he has been cooking. I'll give him that. But then I have to clean up the kitchen if I want it clean that night. It really pisses me off that if I was at home, all of these things would be expected of me. And demanded of me. Yet, I'm not allowed to say anything. He has one more severance check coming in Feb. I told him the other night that if he doesn't have a job by the end of February he HAS to watch the kids every day. We absolutely can't afford daycare after that. Hell, we can't afford some of our bills after that. He won't have a choice. I told him that when/if he has interviews we'll get a sitter or I'll come home and watch them.

He does have an interview coming up next week, so hopefully that'll pan out.

Ahhhh, it felt good to get that off my chest. I know he gets depressed, but I feel like I'm still doing everything except the cooking. And it's stressing me out!!!!!
