Daddy workaholic
Why is it that my husband feels like he needs to work 7 days a week and all the overtime he can-- around the clock...he just doesn't understand that money is not going to make up for all the lost time with his 3 and 5 year old.I know he does it to keep me home with the kids...but we are doing fine and a few days off or even one a week would be great.Anyone else have a husband like mine?I don't know how to make him understand?
I can relate!!
Beleive me I know exactly how you feel. My husband works in construction, so his hours are up and down all the time. When our daughter was a newborn sometimes it would be a day or two before he saw her b/c she would be in bed before he got home. He was working 60+ hours a week. The money was nice, but he was so tired and didn't want to do anything and it really sucked. I think with Maya being so young at the time he didn't really care, but it took her a long time to "get to know him" for a lack of better words. Now, his hours have dramatically cut and he has been working 40, normal hours, but the money isn't as good but at least he is home more. He finds a lot of other things to work on to keep himself busy, and I often have to remind him to come upstairs and give the "man cave" a break for a little while. I think it's hard for men b/c they want to provide for us and help us to be able to stay at home, but at the cause of not being home and able to do as much is with the family sometimes doesn't seem like a sacrifice, ya know what i mean?
It's very difficult when you
It's very difficult when you work for yourself as well. I just remind my husband not to waste HIS youth. He is great about sharing his time and giving lots of attention but he works his body and mind to death. That makes me nervous.
