Being the matriarch of the family entails more than just being a mom and wife. As anyone that is a mom knows, you basically do everything (cook, taxi, tutor, chief bottle washer, you've heard it all before). My situation is a little different from most married women. My husband works out of town (not like 3 hours away, more like 30 hours) and is home for a week every 2 weeks.
The kids are happy to see him, but I know every time he comes he's going to screw up everything. I do things a certain way and he never gets that. He also never gets why I get mad when he does something differently.
He breaks the kids and I fix them, just in time for him to come home and break 'em again. I'm glad for the money he brings in, don't get me wrong. But SHIT help me out here! Sometimes he's like the fun uncle that winds all the kids up for 3 days and then leaves.
Yeah, I'm bitter or maybe it's jealousy.
