Must be family week

[debhun]

It take me all day just to do my house. Well My son moved out and left me a mess to clean. I packed up all the things he didn't take with him and put the boxes in the closet. Now Monday I washed the wall and vac the floor. I was thinking DH was going to paint the room for me. But No he went and stirred up the paint and left it for me to do. Well Yesterday I did just that. I put 1 coat on then did the cut in painting and put 2 coat on 1 wall and ran out of paint. My daughter got me a gal of paint and it is the wrong one. So have to take it back and get right 1. But today before I found out about the paint DH said if you wait till Thursday I will do it. I looked at him and said I can't wait I have to get this done. I have 10 days to get all my house clean from top to bottom. My daughter is getting married the 20th. I can't get him to do any thing. All he does is play on the PC till it is time to get ready for work. I asked him what day he could help clean our bedroom? Well he said that he works 8 hours a day. That I can do it.

After all I did yesterday I can't move today. But I am still going I have to. I just would like to have some help. Well back to cleaning. And I have my granddaughter too. She helps make the mess too. Right now she found the tape and now has every thing taped. Just more for me to do.

Thanks for letting me vent

Kick his butt Deb! LOL :)

Just kidding...I KNOW what you mean. And I am sorry you are in pain from it all! That just sounds like too much with your daughter getting married and all. But, IF it can wait until Thursday for him to do it, I would just wait. But I also know like many of us, we want it done yesterday.

And I can't help it...I am laughing at your granddaughter. Kids!!! :eek: :) It reminds me of when my daughter got a hold of some lipstick and worked for HOURS on her stuffed animals. When done, they were all smiling back at me! And she told me they were all happy now. :rolleyes: And yes, just another thing I had to try to clean up.

Anyway, hang in there and just do as much as you can, when you can without falling apart. :eek: Really, he needs to help you out but maybe your daughter can pick up where he is slacking off.

Kick his butt, and I'm NOT kidding (not really ;) )

That is a constant arguement at my house. I totally understand and sympathize. Sometime we will have to learn to be satisfied with less or it will kill us.

Good luck and stay healthy.

Deb, I have heard the 'I work all day so you should be able to do it" too. In spite of seeing my routine on the weekend she can't apply that to the week days and it sounds like your husband is the same way. Thankfully mine is willing to clean. I am sorry you are going through this and are not getting help. It is too bad that you are taken advantage of like this. I am like Kathi and would wait until Thursday and let him paint it.

Deb,

Well I would say KICK HIS BUTT but I think that has already been said a few times. I do understand your frustration as I have been where you are myself.

The only suggestion I have is to sit down and say we need one day where you chip in and help with the chores. I'm not sure if that will work, but maybe worth a try.

Rest up!!

I am so lucky, my bf works about 10 hours a day and will come home and help with whatever I need and on his days off he will cook. The other day I was in agony and had fallen asleep and when I woke he had done the dishes, cleaned the kitchen and had dinner done. Don't get me wrong, he still has his faults, toilet paper left off roll, clothes on bedroom floor, sometimes dishes left laying around and often when I ask to get something done he says he will get to it but I have discovered that if I get tired of waiting and start it he will jump in.

At one time I had a chore calendar made up for him, myself and my two sons and it worked great. I still find myself getting impatient and wearing myself out by trying to do things while he is at work.

Well I am done with the painting. Took me 4 days to get it done but I did it. the only thing that bothered me was the celling. My neck is killing me. But I knew it would happen before I did the celling. I just can't have my neck bent backyards. It should be fine in a few days of rest. Now I am working on the bed. Lets see it has been white green pink white and yellow. It is coming off easy. It flakes off. Using a wire brush on it. Will send pic of it when done.

Deb,
I would love to see pics of it when you have it completed!! It sounds like you're working your heart out trying to get everything done. Please take care of yourself in this process so that you don't make yourself worse.
