A Housewife’s Complaint
Today, I’m mad at my hushand. Unfortuately, he didn’t even notice it.
My husband is a hard worker. He spends 100% of his energy on the stuff relevant to his work. It is nice for a man who strives for success and achievements on his career, as well as earns a living to support the family. However, as he joined a new company in April which is considered promising, he totally indulges himself in doing a perfect job among his colleagues, and I’m becoming invisible. I appreciate his enthusiasm for perfection and his way of doing his work, but I can’t put up with his negligence of his family, although he hands all his salary to me.
Our baby was just born in last July. I thought it would be a huge change among us. To my surprise, he still let me down. I don’t see as half enthusiasm to the baby in his eyes as to his work. Everyday, he goes to work in the morning, comes back home at dark, and stays in front of the computer till midnight. He seldom takes care of the baby unless I ask him to. Being a mother for the first time, I feel exhausted both physically and psychologically. In addition, I also worry about my own career. Being a full-time housewife would be a nightmare to me.
Tonight, I put it straight that he disappoints me. Nevertheless, his behavior tonight shows that he has turned a deaf ear to my complaints.
I don’t want to become a desperate housewife whining at household chores and careless husband. Since it is hopeless to expect the husband to change, I can only count on myself.
Tomorrow is another day. Let me commence on a new start.
