Wednesday Rant

Woke up yesterday feeling overwhelmed. That's been a reoccuring theme in my life lately and I suspect, it's a reaccuring theme for a lot of women/mothers. I realize that I probably overestimate how much I really do on a daily basis, but is it so bad that I want my partner to do more? He reminded me yesterday about how he cleaned the tub about two weeks ago and how he cooked his meal for the week on Sunday night. What he failed to mention is that in the six years we have lived in our house, he's cleaned the tub about a handful of times. And is it so bad that I want him to cook or take care of dinner more than once a week? Yes, I should focus on what he does, not what he doesn't do. Screw that. I shouldn't have to feel guilty b/c I want the duties to be split equally. I want to be 'the one' who says "my husband is great, he does just as much or more around the house as I do." I have the luxury of staying home two days a week with our child and it seems like that automatically give him the right to assume I should take on more of the childcare/household duties. It almost makes me want to start back working full time. It's not like I'm not bringing home a decent salary, I almost make as much as he does. Men and societies view on women suck.
