I feel for you
Quote From: amyham12My husband works 24 hour shifts 2 days a week. The other five days that he is home he spends every evening at the fire department. (for at least three hours at a time) So that means 7 nights a week he is not home with me and our three children. He says I knew he was a fireman when we met so I should put up with it. But he is just hanging out there. He is not doing any work. I say he needs to spend more time at home. And I am with the children every night of the week. When I go to PTA meetings the kids have to come because he needs to go to the fire department and they can't come with him. Am I right or am I being too controling? Next time you have a meeting hire a babysitter and then another time maybe go out to a movie with some friends. You could also do fun things with your kids and maybe your husband would decide that he'd like to join you. If not , his loss. Your husband sounds incredibly selfish but you may be letting him get away with it. I know I've been there. My ex husband would do the most selfish things and leave me with the kids. For me divorce was the end result, I hope that doesn't happen to you, but mostly to your children, they suffer the most. But try some marriage counseling even if you have to go alone. And no way are you being controling, you are right he does need to be home more. Maybe he could give you, for a starter, 2 nights a week and see what happens.
