Sahm with away husband
I just need to vent as I sit here and cry.
I have a one year old, and my husband is in the oilfield so he works out of town or state a lot. Lately he's only been home for 2 days a month. 1 day every other 2 weeks. It's been hell. I hate it. I love that he's staying busy, but I hate it at the same time. I have no friends. I mean I have a friend sort of. If you wanna call her that. But she just complains a lot, never wants to do anything but sit on her ass, and anytime we do get together it's at her house so she can sit and watch her girls play. But I want to go out and do something. Yeah its nice to sit and visit every now and then. But I want to do something sometimes! Take the kids somewhere!! My family is no support. They never want to do anything. Or already have something going on. My mom acts like it's a burden for us to come over and she would rather just nap. Then today what made me really upset she asked when my husband was coming home and I said I don't know probably next week and she was like "omg. Tom (my step dad) said that he wants to sit down with him and tell him he needs to be home more" like excuse me?? No. My husband doesnt like being away anymore than I like it. Yeah he could get another job where he's home more. But he loves what he does and nothing could ever pay him as good. So instead of downing me and him why dont you support us in a positive way?? I'm just so tired of it all.
I get so fucking bored. Being a sahm is hard enough. Doing it when your spouse is gone and no other support is even harder. They say it takes a village to raise a child. I wish I had that fucking village. I hate staying inside our house all damn day. Yes I would go for a walk or go to the park or something but it's getting cold here and I'm not getting my child sick. we have one mall in town if you even want to call it that. It's so nasty and someone recently got stabbed there from gang members so I just avoid that place all together. We have nothing else in town to do. Today I'm driving an hour just to go to an indoor play area in a nicer area. I wish I had someone to do things with.
