I just can’t.. 🙁

Can I just be petty for a minute and rant? This is something that has always put a strain on my marriage. My husband is a night bird and I’m an early bird, I wouldn’t think that this was that big of a deal but it literally effects so many aspects of our life.

My husband is the one who works while I raise our kids and go to school. He has a job that requires him to sign into an app at the start of shift every morning and then he will go to whichever job they need him on for that day. Because of this, he sees himself as having the chance to take his time and do what he wants rather than being responsible.

He will stay up just about every night until 3am playing video games or hanging with his friends then expects to sleep until 10-11am even though his work shifts starts at 9am. Just about every morning I try waking him up a good 4-5 times in hopes that he’ll start work when he’s supposed to because his job is already on the line. It’s so frustrating and exhausting because it feels like I’m his mother trying to get him prepared for the day... every day!

This all came to a head tonight when he fell asleep as soon as he got home, after all daytime/evening naps are a common thing for him. No biggie, but as I was crawling into bed I half expected him to go to bed soon-ish because he was talking about how tired he was. But NO, he came upstairs to tell me that he was going to hang out with his friends again.

For someone who is always “so tired” you’d think the idiot would take the opportunity to get some rest when he can. I’m just so tired and annoyed. 🙁
