Being a stay at home mom takes alot out of a woman. Im sure there are alot of you that understand what I am going through. Hubby works all day, and I am home with a 20 1/2 mo old son and a 5 1/2 mo old daughter. When he comes home from work and I can get a chance, I try to take some time for myself. Whether its playing on the computer, taking a hot bath, or just laying down, why can't he let me have that time alone? I was on the comp and he came in to see what I was doing and I tried to get his opinion at what I was looking at. He walked away angrily and commented..."I would rather play with my son, then play on the damn computer..." Implying that I should be doing what he was doing, instead of letting me take a break form the kids. Does he not realize that I need a little "me time"? He gets to do what ever he wants at anytime. Why does he have to say things like that? Hes done it before. Am I not allowed to keep my sanity? How should I handle this without picking a fight with him?

If he wants to leave and go do something, he will. I cant just do that because he wont stay with our daughter and wants me to take her with me because shes little and he a typical guy and acts afraid to be alone with her. He was that way when our son was her age but since hes older, he does more things with him and even takes him places. Even if she was asleep, he wants me to take her with me in case she wakes up because he says he doesnt know how to take care of her...

Sign him up for a newborn class and he can take the kids with him leaving you free to have "me" time while he learns some quality parenting. Buy him :"Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" for xmas, maybe he will learn something about the difference that is beyond the groin.

My daughter wanted the same thing at 13 & I finally gave in. I sure wish that I hadn't. She let her friends in the house & they had parties. She always called me when she was supposed to but she betrayed my trust & I am sorry but she proved she was not mature enough to follow the rules & be trusted at 13. You may be, but I"m sure your mom knows what's best for you. So give your mom some credit for caring about you. And the time you can stay home alone will come. When your home alone, you can get bored & with boredom comes trouble. Your mom knows best.
