Fathers Day was great! Oh wait no it wasn’t I was left feeling unappreciated, worthless and down! I’m a stay at home dad and I do literally everything from the house chors cleaning, washing etc to taking kids to school well teaching them now to taking mrs to work to decorating..... you get the picture. My mrs is s a care worker doing 12hr shifts and I get its bloody hard and I would never expect her to be doing some off the jobs that I do but is it unreasonable for me to expect on Father’s Day to not do any off that stuff? I don’t think so! Our kids are still young hence why I’m upset with her because it wasn’t her who said to the kids make a card for daddy or anything it was my daughter telling her! She didn’t give two s**** about me instead she stayed in bed whilst I did everything and while I was taking the rubbish out I could hear my neighbours doing Father’s Day and I could smell a fry up or something being cooked and I felt so sad and worthless coz no-one cares enough to do that for me!

I know from working at a care facility and the stress that comes with it, also the horrible 12 hour shifts. Do you think she forgot or is just burnt out? I personally think is common sense to do nice things on days like this but others often don't. Could it be that she doesn't realize that this day was important to you?
Replyyeah your probably right e.g tired even forgot and your probably right about not realising how important it was for me still doesn’t change that there was no thought? Considering this is my first year as a stay at home dad I thought I would at least get a tea and toast in bed lol it’s ridiculous now I’ve read my original post a million times I feel a bit stupid. Writing this sort of stuff is not normal for me lol
ReplyNo, I think it's a great place to vent. Then when you calm and think it over or at least think about what you want to say, you can have that talk. Getting others point of views and talking about issues helps. It's not ridiculous, it would have hurt my feelings too.
ReplyI'm a stay at home dad too. Not easy. Thankless. I get it now. I'm an excellent manager and can do anything. My fav chore is laundry, and panties play.
ReplyWhat's panties play?
ReplyTalk to your family and let them know how you feel unappreciated. By the way, you seem like a pretty great dad.
ReplyHang in there, when your kids are old enough to cook they will make things for you! Teach them now, let them help out with the non-dangerous stuff and cleaning up and by the time they're teens they'll be pros at cooking and cleaning. (Well maybe not total pros but it's better to have them get used to helping out when they're young.)
