Last night was a bit of a whinge, but I feel better for having it out of my system. It was a bit unfair as I know DH has work he has to work everything around, whereas for me it is just the kids and I can occasionally arrange time off (for good behaviour?) with friends.
However it is true that he seems to find time for hobbies and for his volunteer work, whereas I feel I don't. Maybe I need to make more effort and push myself more.
Last night we had a special service on at church to welcome our new minister and DH got a call asking him to come to more Fire Brigade training. I don't like to push, but when he came and asked me I told him I was sick of family things coming last and so he cancelled and came with us. I was glad. I don't do that very often, but I felt I had to say what I felt.
We don't go out very often as a family - largely because we are busy and often finances constrain us doing too much, so I think it is important when there is something to make the effort.
Anyway, I still think that while he is a good dad and considers his family important he doesn't think of the kids in the same way I do in terms of it affecting every decision. Maybe that's because they are my "job" or because I am their main carer and am with them 24hrs, or is it because mum's are more connected having carried them from conception, I don't know... |
