I have all but quit my training. I am always tired. I mostly close so I get home at 1230am or later. I need a bit of time after working to unwind. I usually work between 8.5 to 9.5 or more hours a shift. I am always moving and on my feet there. I go to bed at 130am or like last night I stay up till 230. I have the two boys so the next morning I am usualy up after 5 hours. My problem is that the wife feels that even though I am working 45-50 hours a week(almost double what she works), that house work and watching the kids should still be split in half. That is fine I am a man and i can take that. But even on the days she does not work (tue, thur, fri sat) She wants me to get up with them, let her take a nap during the day etc. Do not get me wrong she does 99% the work at the home. I am just so tired I have no energy for excess work right now. Take Friday for example. I worked thur night, got like 6 hours sleep and was up. I had inventory at work which meant I would be there from 5pm friday night to at least 3 am sat( we actually got out at 415am). She decides Fri was the good day to get her neice over to spend the day, and then at 310pm she decides to go swimming at the Y and I have to help her with the kids. I was late to work and tired as hell after that. I had to work saturday night on 7 hours of sleep which is a lot for me but I was tired all night we were busy as hell. Now today I have to work 4 to 1230 and only ogt 5 hours of sleep. I am cranky and she does ti again! Wants to go to the Y for a kids event. I DO NOT WANT TO GO! It will mean running around after the boys it is close to the time to when I have to go to work and it stress me out. Forget about training, it is all i can do to stay married right now.
