I'm The Woman
The woman who does all the laundry
The woman who cleans the floors
The woman who grocery shops
The woman who recycles anything we can possibly use so it doesn't go in the trash
The woman who does all the ironing and dry cleaning, do it with the bags if I can
The woman who has done all the yard work for 20 years
The woman who has taken care of all the animals the kids have brought through here
The woman who has taken all the kids, mine and his, to the dr, dentist, orthodontist, soccer, principle, clothes shopping, school supply shopping and whatever else they needed when they were home
The woman who has put up with numerous things that I really didn't want to because I am married and thought I should
You know, I'm tired of being "The woman" and now when I thought I would get a break and be able to do some things like follow my passion for art he is all of a sudden home 24/7 bugging me. He just walked by and told me I needed to pay a bill. Now I know why my mom took up smoking after having not smoked for 30 years.
He has provided a more than substantial living and taken care of all of us. He talks about not feeling appreciated. I guess he forgets there is another partner that feels the same way some times. I am just having a hard time finding my way into his golden years.
He can't hear, doesn't listen, always has a better way of doing things and doesn't think it should take over an hour on the computer a day. It takes me longer than that some days just to get my mail. For years I wanted him to come home or stay home and he said he was too busy. I found my own things to do with my time and now our relatives are all getting older and need help. Now I find myself not having time for him. Do you ever find an equilibrium in your lives? Does anyone have any answers? Don't ever let your husband retire.
