I used to work all the time...like 6-7days a week and 2-3 jobs at one time, until I got in a major MVA and cut back to the job I got hurt at...then got laid off from there in Aug 2008 and have been at home since. I lived with my mom so I didn't have to worry about a lot of things. I moved out and went 4hrs away with my 4 1/2yr old a month and a half ago into a house with my fiance, his room mate and his wife and 1yr old...so yes there are 6 of us in the house...and room mate is preg w/ baby #2 (the wife). Coming down here and being on my own was a major shock for me but has been really good at the same time. Living with this many people has it's issues, people get mad and annoyed because others don't do their share of the house work (not saying I'm not guilty of this at all) but I still haven't really gotten the real idea of being on my own in my own place (make sense?). Soon we are going to be on our own without the room mates, they have decided they need more room with the new baby coming.
So getting to the point.
How do you deal with being a stay at home mom/wife? What am I really supposed to be doing? I don't have a clue as to what I should do, need to do, what's expected of me? On top of that how do you deal with not having somewhere to go everyday? I mean I have to take ayden to school during the week but I feel like I have no purpose not working...feel like I accomplish nothing. I enjoy working and not being able to is driving me nuts...how do you get past those feelings? Feeling guilty for spending money that you didn't help earn? I really don't have a clue how to do all this.

The other night me and my hubby got in a fight because my son's daycare says have them there btwn 8am and 9am. I originally said I wanted to shoot to have him there by 8am and I was doing well with that to begin with while he was gone to CA. During that time doc changed my meds so now I am in serious pain in the mornings (I literally collapse and get sick some mornings)and with him home I can't sleep b/c of stuff he does in his sleep. So now he is gettin there btwn 8:30-9am. He got mad at me saying that I said 8am I need to stick to it and what is the difference in 30min that I just need to get up earlier so I can take meds earlier and be ok to go earlier. He said how is he supposed to view things when he is going to work every day and I can't even get my a** out of bed and get ayden to school on time...to him looks like I'm just being lazy and not trying to put any effort in, that he gets up even when he doesn't want to and I have to too. Also said that I can just come home and lay back down where as he can't because he has to work...he doesn't see that I have been running around everyday doing things that have to get done that I don't have time to just come home. He is punishing me for him keeping me awake all night and being in pain from the MVA. IDK what to even say to him sometimes.
Would this upset you?
(this isn't the only thing that has come up that I'm not working get off my a** and just do it)

Yes, that would upset me. Sometimes men don't realize what we do all day until they have to do it themselves. Cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids, shopping, paying the bills, and any other errands that need doing can take up a lot of your time.

Have you tried sleeping elsewhere? When I am dealing with insomnia, I sleep on the couch or would not get any sleep.

Good luck to you!

Yea I tried the couch but it hurts me more than the bed does...but least I can watch tv there lol. He cant sleep with the tv on so I stay bored and annoyed all night. I have to be back before he wakes up though or he gets mad at me for not being in there...doesn't get i'm not mad (usually) I just can't take any more of it or couldn't lay still any more and needed to get up and go do something else or lay elsewhere.

HE IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! He has now turned to the line of he does hard labor all day in the sun and I get to stay in the AC all day there is no excuse for the house not to be clean and the laundry not only done but put away as soon as it comes out of the dryer ("b/c really how hard is it to just go ahead and do it?". He keeps telling me that things are his because he pays for them not me...he went so far as to unhook the cable box (I'm on the acct to but he says he pays for it) from the new TV that I just bought the other night b/c he was mad at me but then wondered why I wasn't letting him watch the football game on my new big screen TV the next day when he hooked the box back up so he could watch TV. I'm so tired of hearing about how i don't work...like I'm a sorry person for not working...like I made the choice not to b/c I want to be lazy and lay around all day... it's not my fault I'm hurt and it makes me so mad when he does that to me! I can't possibly get all the house work done and get everything outside the house done too. We are always fighting now and over the stupidest things too. rant
