New full time job
08.29.07
I just started a new full time job a few months ago. I like the job but hate the hours! Before I started working there I worked part time for a photographer. It was great! I had time for my kids and their activites and time for my house, my huband, and myself. But this sucks. I am not the me I was before. I am angry and tired and have no time for anything. I resent my husband for presuring me into full time job and wish that he would understand the way this has changed me. Everyone tells me this is normal and I will get over it, but I can't help but feel this was a bad idea. The extra money is great but is it worth me being a mega bitch?!?!

I feel exactly like doingitall. Happy to be at work when at work. But really at a loss! Where is the answer? Don't have to work but seemed like a brilliant idea to go back to work after being sidelined for a while.

I don't understand how your husband "demands" you work? Does he contribute to the household, 50%? That is my mantra, if I have to work to be able to keep up with the Jones' and afford our lifestyle, my husband will most certainly do half of the household chores, cook and take care of our daughter. I think we need to break the mentality of some of these men who expect us to be super moms- I say, make your own dinner!!!

I've often wondered how women manage to convince their husbands they should stay at home. My husband demands that I work-full time! I have two children, aged 4 and 5, and when I get home each night I am SOOO tired! My best hours are during the day at work! We are not extravant-life requires money. It really does suck because I do wish life were simpler. I need to find a way to spend more time with my kids, while at the same time spending a little time on myself.

Working full time does suck. I went back to work after my daughter was born and am having such a hard time balancing both. If we did not need my income then I would most certainly try to arrange something. I am confused though because once I get to work I like being there but I feel like there is not enough time in the day to get everything done. I feel like if I dedicated myself fully to one or the other I would be happier and less stressed!
