Welcome!

     Relationships? One simple word, too many side bars and distractions that go with it.  Don't get me wrong, I love being married and I love my husband, but that doesn't mean it doesn't present some very unique challenges.  I'm a fairly new mom, my first son is ten months old.  Add a child into the mix and my god can you really see what your relationship is made of. 

     If you don't have a good base before you have kids, you may never get one.  I'm fairly sure I bite my tongue at least 4 times a day.  Why is it that he can't wash one damn bottle.  I'll come home from work and there's 7 bottles next to the crib or on the couch or sitting in the sink.  "I just didn't have time," is what I most often hear.  I wonder then, how do I have time to wash the bottles?  Why do I have time to clean the livingroom or do the laundry.  In the 10 months that my son's been alive my husband hasn't once done a load of the babies laundry.  If something gets shit on it, he throws it out or puts it in the clothes hamper with the not shit covered clothes where it will sit and stink up the room until I have time to do a load.  Now I realize I may be picking a little here because  he's a wonderful father, but I'm a pretty good Mom and somehow I manage to get the day to day stuff done.  I know he works and he's tired, well I work full time too, I'm really tired, espicially since he's the one that gets to sleep in.  Even if he offers to get up with the baby I'm the one that hears the monitor first and then i'm up, no going back to sleep then and he goes comfortably back to bed.  I can't turn my mommy head off for long enough to sleep in.  Why are we as ladies and moms always the default parent/housekeeper/worrywort?
