      Does your spouse/family take you for granted?


      Do you feel like you are taken for granted sometimes? Ya know.. being SAHM.. people think that we are always there.. always around.. always knows.. everything. I had my dose maxed out today and kinda feelin' somewhat crabby. Hence this less than positive post. Sorry.. :imsorry:
      hang in there buds, i know how it feels. for me esp when it's that time of the month. it helps to yell it out loud. sometimes i'll just cry it out in the bathroom.

      i've been sahm since birth of 12yr old dd. i've learnt that if i don't pat myself on my back, dun expect anyone else to. i've also learnt that i've got noone to appraise me on a job well done. except myself.

      take a step back, look at your beautiful children and give yourself a pat on your back for a job well done.

      it's a better day tomorrow. keep your chin up!

      :hugs:

        Hey buds,
        We all have lousy days...in fact, I just had an outburst last weekend.
        Staying at home facing 4 walls, having kids who refuse to cooperate and lousy mood doesn't help.
        Feel free to air your frustration...though we can't help, you have many pairs of listening ears here...just don't bottle up. There is always a tolerance threshold. :hugs:

          Hang in there. :hugs:

          Have a great day

            We all have those super lousy days…sometimes don’t even have to be ‘that time of the month’. I wish I could take something apart to release that sucky mood. Hang on Buds…go for ice cream or anything that makes you happy.

              Honestly, we are all taken for granted sometimes.

              Today I rushed down to the hospital as I needed to attend the care giver training. The appointment is supposed to be at 12pm. I rushed down from a funeral but I was not appreciated. The nurses think that being a tutor has a lot of flexibility. Say I have flexible schedule and all that. It’s not even true unlike what most people believe. Maybe there are other tutors who are very free. I do not know. Honestly, I’m fuming mad at how inconsiderate some people can be. How insensitive their words can be!
