Overworked
Quote From: puzzled My husband and I argue about money all the time. He doesn't call it arguing he calls it "productive talk" He wants me to get a job, I seriously have been looking. A lot of the time I think why should I or how could I. I am 24 years old I have a 8 year old son, a six year old daughter, a 5 year old daughter, two boston terrier pups, a kitten, and I am currently enrolled FULL-TIME in school. I am taking 15 credit hours, which takes a lot out of me. Not to mention my homework, I help my three kids with their homework. I am the house keeper, I am their taxi driver to all of their extra-curricular activities, I am the cook, and I am now looking for a job. The way I see it. If I get a job, the amount that I would make wouldn't even cover childcare cost for the my three kids. My fiance' gets up at 5am at the latest 6am (that is when he sleeps in) and then he goes to work, he doesn't return home until 7pm (which is the earliest that he gets home.) So I am basically doing this by myself. He expects me to get a job and keep up everything else I do. I don't think that I can manage. What do you guys think? HELP!!! It sounds like you are about to burn out already. You could suggest to your fiance' that you will get a job if he will take on some of your other responsibilities. Maybe you could work in the evening hours while he is home. Then he could fix dinner, put the kids to bed and clean the house. That sounds like a logical compromise to me.
