quickly before I head to bed...it is almost midnight!
JR brought home two large bags full of baby clothes today....I figured it would be an assortment of newborn and up but was shocked to find that very little of it goes above the newborn size...there are very few 3-6 month and maybe two 6-9 month outfits. WOW! So I am pretty set on clothes! LOL!
To the point....at 8:30 I asked JR to help me out around the house...asked him to pick up a few things in the living room (these are all Logan's toys, that he is determined to keep bringing into the living room!) JR has been nursing a bad toothache since Saturday night and says it isn't getting better....I told him today to call the dentist and make an appointment. In my opinion, it cant hurt THAT bad if you aren't willing to do anything about it! I told him I would call around tomorrow and make an appointment for him...but, I am not going to...I have changed my mind. He is a grown man, he needs to do some things on his own! UGHHHH Anyway, at 10 I told him it was time for Logan's bath...He replied with "there's only 3minutes left in the game....I started trying to get all the baby stuff put away. He finally went and filled the tub, and put Logan in and since Logan was right next to me, JR returned to the computer! After a while, I asked him again to please help...he didn't.Then 30 minutes ago, he got Logan out of the tub, and went and laid in his bed. Logan was still running around, I asked if he had any intention of helping me and his response was, "not this late at night" REALLY???? So, he gets to stay up until when ever he feels like it so that he can get on facebook and watch a football game, but he cant help out around the house because its too late? I then asked if this is what I had to look forward to...me raising the kids by myself, while he lays around...his response was, "yep, at least for the next couple of night (because of his toothache)" It took everything I had to not burst into tears. I feel like he has absolutely no respect for me sometimes. I am so pissed right now!
I have a huge respect for single mothers...raising children while also supporting a family financially. Although, I dont work...yet....I feel like a single parent sometimes. This is apparently an issue that JR and I will never see eye to eye on, and it doesn't look like he is going to give an inch....the problem is, I have already given a mile, and I am NOT compromising anymore! I am not going to stop believing that he should be helping out more and he isn't ever going to come to the conclusion that he should have to help out...So YEA! Bring on the next 50 years of this! Oh how fun.

That does suck about JR. I have a friend back in Illinois who is practically a single mom despite the fact that she is married and LIVING with the father of her daughter. She does everything for that girl. Her husband brings in the big paychecks and that's about it. She has accepted that as her life, but I still feel for her. =(
Things would probably be a little easier if I just accepted this as my life, but I just CAN'T. Your always taught to ask for help if you need it, but no one ever teaches you how to cope when you CAN'T get the help you are asking for.
