My husband is driving me crazy at the moment.
He is so lazy with his business, he is lazy around the house, he is lazy with the family. I think he has always been this way, I have just noticed it more recently because he is working from home & I am part of the time as well.
I do 95% of the housework, the kids do 5%, husband does none. I have pointed this out nicely, not so nicely & now just do it. I do 100% of the yard work, as well as work 2 part time jobs.
Today H lost one of his biggest clients. The client said he was going to another closer firm, but we all know the client left because his work took ages to be done. H gets constant calls from clients chasing their jobs. The annoying thing is H has a great business concept, but no follow through skills. So, did he knuckle down when this client called? No, he went & had a sleep. Says this is his coping skill since he gave up smoking 4 weeks ago.
Meantime, I am doing hundreds of loads of washing because I have been away for 5 days helping my mother cope with her mother's death and only came back late yesterday. I was up at 5:00am, H was up at 8:30am. He went to bed later, but not because he was working, but he was reading books & commenting on news stories on the web.
I have asked him to assist our son in securing accomodation & flights to the world karate championships in 4 weeks. He has had over a year to do this & to this date, nothing has been done. I refuse to do it so I cannot see our son participating in the championship. I have asked often enough for it to be done, I will not do so again.
I went to the doctor because I am constantly fatigued, tests revealed no reason, the doctor thinks I am exhausted & need a break. I think I will either flip out or drop dead one day. A couple of weeks ago, I went off at H about all of this, he said none of it was true & he does work hard. Maybe in his head, but not in reality.
He says he is not depressed or anything. I honestly think he is just lazy. We have a son like that as well, he was lazy before he was born, I think he got it from H.
On top of this, I am expected to go to university next year, as well as keep working 2 jobs & do everything at home. If I was not so financially in a bind I think I would just walk out from frustration. Vent done for now..
