I Can't Take It Anymore! The same argument, Again!

Tonight has been a crappy night, to say the least.

Earlier this evening my husband said to me "take a break, you're stressing yourself out." He had said this as I was juggling our one year old in my arms, wiping up the kitchen counters, and putting away toys. "If I stop moving things will keep piling up and I'll never get caught up on this house," I replied. My husband laughed annoyingly then said, "housework does not need to be done as often as you do it, you need to quit doing so much of it." At this point into the conversation I started to get frustrated and then asked my husband "who else is going to do all of these things if I don't?" "They'll get done eventually," said Mr. Procrastinator.

Maybe it's just me, maybe I am kinda crazy or something but I cannot handle nearly Everything getting done later and not sooner. Life gets way too uncontrollable if you let too many things slide for too long. Lately, again, I feel like I have been doing the bulk of the housework, the yard work, the pet care, the childcare, the bill paying, the errand running, and grocery getting. Did I mention I also groom dogs?

I cannot help but feel like "where is my break time?" "Why does my husband get to put his feet up and watch t.v. every night?" I haven't watched more than one hour of TV. in the last week, that is not by choice. "Why do I move constantly from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed?" "What would happen if I stopped doing all the things I do around here?"

My husband frequently reminds me that He works out of the home 40 or more hours a week, brings home most of the income, and helps watch the kids in the evening, and on weekends. I know this, I realize this, and I respect this. I still have a problem though, do I, or don't I deserve more help with the things I am doing everyday? I am basically talking about household, and outdoor chores. Will my husband ever truly realize how hard I work each day? Will he ever feel the need to pitch in more? Will this argument go on and on and on?

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
