does the stress of coming into work more than 3 times a week, get to you?
I believe i go through burnouts 4-5 months after working full-time.. and i wish i didnt. I try to remain as positive as one can be cus clearly there is nothing that is so bad in my life that cannot be overcome… or is enough to be made a big deal about.
I get edgy… lose my patience and just dont do the right things.
quite a contrary to what people think of me at work. They reckon i am the most patient… work really well under extreme stress and dont let work get to me.
Maybe. Yes.. that may be true. But i think i lose the plot once I get home… I need to i guess lose it somewhere… which shouldnt be at home. Cus home is where the people I love exist. And they require my patience and stressfree attitude, more than anyone else.
It’s ok sadzz. When I was living a married life the most difficult time during the day for me was morning time where I used to just have 30-45 mins in which I used to make his breakfast , his lunch , my break fast , eat my breakfast & get ready too for the work. I was hormonal too and atleast once a week the 1st thing I used to do after reaching work was to call my mom and cry.
It is normal and it happens . Because married working women have double/triple responsibility on their shoulders and sometimes it just hits you hard.
Why can't guys help with making breakfast in the morning? It wouldn't kill them. Diamond, that must have sucked. I rarely make time to eat breakfast in the morning, because I'm rushing out...can't imagine having to get up half an hour earlier just to make someone eggs, which they could do themself.
ive started doing one day a week from home cus the hubby reckons i need a day to myself once a week.. which is true and it REALLY helps.
cant go part-time just yet.. its only been a few months.. maybe once ive done a year, then Inshallah.
diamond, can totally relate with the responsiblity bit... but having said that, the hubz (apart from bathing munchkin), he helps out with everything.. so its not toooo bad.. if it wasnt for him being the way he is, i would have been a lost cause.
I think im just feeling it a bit more these days... it's gotten to the 4 month non-stop work stage
^ not all guys are that demanding ! at my work place half of the married men/may be more than half have their breakfast at work (despite the fact their wives are not working). some husbands really do care.

sadzz just keep in mind the outcome or results that you are getting by putting in so much of hard work. Think of the rewards ad keep them in your mind. They will motivate you and give you energy to carry on.
for me it was that I needed money for my own self and for the baby and that gave me the strength to work for more than 12 hours a day (work + home).
^ we have breakfast in the car... well breakfast drinks. It's kinda cute me thinks. the hubby places one in his cup holder, one in mine... and while he drives i open it up and give it to him.... hmmm
its a mad rush in the morning... i wish we had more time to sit down and eat but even when i was single, that was not the case
Whenever I’m frustrated or stressed out, I take out my frustrations outside, like when i’m in teh shops or commuting and someone is just being really weird. After work, husband, friends etc, i really dont have the patience left to be nice to strangers.
Otehrwise, I do complain to my husband sometimes but I dont’ take it out on him.
