Comments on: I told you not to do that! http://www.ovolina.com/lang/en/i-told-you-not-to-do-that news and life with an Italian twist Wed, 02 Jun 2010 17:28:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Amanda http://www.ovolina.com/lang/en/i-told-you-not-to-do-that/comment-page-1/#comment-1445 Amanda Sat, 07 Feb 2009 11:20:31 +0000 http://www.ovolina.com/?p=389#comment-1445 You summed it up so nicely. For me it's the wanting my husband home more. When he IS home, he's great. He knows I carry the household burdens and tries to alleviate what he can. But when he's gone all the time, I try not to get angry at him, I get angry at our circumstance. I'm not proud of it, but when your husband works for 4 months straight with literally one day off, it's very frustrating for us all. It would almost be easier if he were TDY or deployed at that point and not coming and going in the night. You summed it up so nicely. For me it’s the wanting my husband home more.

I love them, but they are so draining. I could multitask a million things at work, but just trying to remember when to feed them throughout the day is taxing now.

I have much admiration for military spouses who do it alone. I often get angry at my husband because he likes to sit down and watch TV when he comes home from work and I want more help. I second the first comment. A nanny and more money. Anita,
