Well hi, everybody...
Here I sit bawling reading the truths in the Dawkter's Wife posts, etc. AGH!!
There are so few people in my real life who can even begin to comprehend the frustration I have with being responsible for "everything else" and not having a clue about how to fix any of our issues because he's not even around to participate in the fixing of them! Reading parenting advice where they suggest having Daddy bring the kid to bed a few nights in a row if they're throwing a fit for Mommy- things like that just drive me insane...
My DH is an anesthesiologist/intensivist/researcher at a university clinic (we're 6 years post-residency so thank goodness at least the money problems have gotten better) and I'm a SAHM to our girls who are 8, 3, and 2... We have no relatives nearby, it's all me- 4 school runs a day, food, laundry, house, appts. I feel like it'll do me in some days. And he doesn't see that, get that, or validate that I've been on call every single day for the last 8 years, because I'm "only" dealing with minor things like
ing toddlers and homework help while I'm trying to cook supper and get the little one to bed.
Anyway, hello to you all and thanks for listening... I'm sure I'll be back soon because just reading things here was incredibly comforting.

There are a lot of us NWer's (past and present) bumping around here.

(Says the old bitter battle axe iMSN vet!)
. The sad truth is that even post training the medical lifestyle suuuucks!
Welcome to the gang!
