Am I being selfish?
I am sure I probably am being selfish, but here is the story.
My wife and her family planned a trip to Wyoming to see her Grandmother. I have nothing against her going to see her Grandma. We have 4 kids 3 of them are in school, and she is taking the youngest one with her. I work graveyards so I will be working all night and my brother will be home with the kids. Then when I get home I will get them off to school and get them once that is over.
No we have reached my problem I have to do everything she normally does, plus go to work at night while she is gone. She doesn’t think this is any kind of issue at all at all for me and I should just be happy she is getting a break for a few days. She doesn’t work and doesn’t really do much around the house. I mean the laundry is always dirty and even when it’s not it is still in baskets. The dishes get done every few days and cleaning is not really her strong suit either. So I am kind of upset that she thinks she deserves a break more them me. I work pretty much 7 days a week to keep her happy and to make sure she always has enough money.
I told her from the start that I didn’t think I could handle working and taking care of the kids and I don’t have enough time off to take the days off. She seems to have completely forgot me saying that and is mad at me for bringing it up again today since she is leaving in 2 days. I just feel like she doesn’t even care how this is going to affect me, and is only thinking about herself. She has been wanting to travel with her family like she used to but having a family has made that hard sometimes. Now she is just going and not even thinking of me and the kids. I am starting to wonder is she even wants to come back.
