| briehasissues | I have realized that no matter what I do I can't win. So I'm just going to give up. |
| Kiki | says | Are you my long lost sister?! I assume you are talking about the same thing you were earlier. I have said that so many times. |
| briehasissues | says | We could be sisters. I've said that so many times reading your blog! Yep, I'm talking about the same thing. |
| Kiki | says | my men seem to think I am not serious and I think that ticks me off even more. The fact that how I feel doesn't matter, I guess. |
| briehasissues | says | my man doesn't back me up with the kids at all. I tell them to do something and he says they don't have to. He thinks kids aren't supposed |
| briehasissues | says | to do anything. So I end up having to do everything and my kids think that I'm just talking to hear my head rattle |
| Kiki | says | In my case it is mostly the man and the oldest. My husband can be completely oblivious to anything but his own stuff, and sometimes,... |
| Kiki | says | isn't the most sensitive and compassionate person her could be. My oldest (and now the younger ones are starting) see it and learn it. |
| Kiki | says | I get zero credit for how much I do for them. It is like I lost intelligence when I took off my combat boots and stayed home with them. |
| Kiki | says | Being an Army family, it is just reality that the family tends to circle around the soldier. Been there, done that, I get it and accept it. |
| Kiki | says | But nowhere does it say I have to be disrespected. I am THE most understanding and accomadating wife he could have and he knows it. |
| Kiki | says | But you can't just give up or you will end up hating yourself. That is where I am now and I am fighting like hell to get out of it. |
| briehasissues | says | I feel better about it than I did yesterday. It's just that sometimes everything feels like it's crashing down around me. I do so much |
| briehasissues | says | around here, but I still feel useless because I don't work anymore. He works and brings in all the money but I'm used to being the provider. |
| briehasissues | says | I want to feel in control of things again. And I want to be the best I can for him, but sometimes it seems like he doesn't even try. |
| Kiki | says | That was hard for me, too. I was a soldier for so long and I wasn't used to staying at home. But I realized just how much I really do now. |
| briehasissues | says | He'll say and do things that he knows is going to piss me off, then gets mad at me for getting pissed off and it drives me crazy! |
| Kiki | says | I guess I just don't like being taken for granted. I may not work outside the home anymore, but I provide a lot in my own area. |
| Kiki | says | I literally am responsible for EVERYTHING it takes to keep this family going. I don't mind it since he is off doing Army stuff all the time |
| briehasissues | says | Exactly. I just don't understand why men can't see that. |
| Kiki | says | But I deserve some credit, too. THey treat me like I am stupid, but I am the first person they come to for help. |
| Kiki | says | They don't see how much I do to support them and to make their lives easier. I am like a couch, easy to dismiss. |
