So I passed my summer class, got an A even. Apparently this showed hubby that I can handle school/work/housekeeping/kids no problem.
Which he was forgetting that a.I only had one class over the summer, and b. technically it was a high school class.
This semester I am taking 2 classes, both of which I've found out are two of the hardest freshman level classes.
I know I really shouldn't complain because I already have 13 credits from HS/previous college. So I only need to take 2 classes this semester and 2 classes next semester.
However, I have a business to run. If I don't make enough quilts to stock my booth for really big craft show, I'll be kicked out. I really don't want that to happen since I like doing the show/need the money. Plus the other shows I do and custom orders.
And I still have to do all the cooking and cleaning. I don't have enough time in the day to get everything done. Sometimes the laundry doesn't get folded right out of the dryer and then hubby complains about it. He's even told me that he wants to start taking his lunch to wrok, but he doesn't have time in the mornings to do it, so he'd like me to get up at 5am and pack his lunch.
Anytime I talk to him about getting some help around the house he chimes in that "I don't come to his office and help him do his job." and that I should drop the quilting because "it's only a hobby." Well it may be just a hobby to him, but it's a business and extra income to me. I've been selling quilts for almost 10 years now and made more then 250.
He does take care of the kids while I'm in class, but I don't think he understands the schoolwork that needs to be done out of class. Some days all I have time for is taking care of the kids and doing schoolwork, then after dinner I work on quilts until I pass out.
I know once I finish my pre-requisites and get into the Vet program I'm going to have at least 4 classes with labs each semester and be at school all day. I don't know how hubby is going to handle that. He's talked about getting a housekeeper, but we can't afford it/I don't like strangers in my house while I'm not home.
At least one good thing is that I'm too busy to be depressed.
Any well wishes/advice/sympathy would be welcomed.
