I'm Tired!!!


Can someone out there please tell me why moms are made to feel bad for saying we are tired? Are we not allowed to be tired, with everything we do in a day are we not justified being tired? For example...  mom does her normal day,(taking care if the kids the house the husband the animals....) then after getting the kids to bed and the kitchen cleaned up from supper wants to sit down and take a minute for herself (HA HA HA) her husband comes up to her and asks can we spend some time together? The wife/mom says sure do you want to watch a movie or something like play cards? The husband says no thats not waht I mean....so the wife/mom says ok but I am tired. THe husband replies...that figures your always tired when are you not going to be tired? THe wife/mom replies well maybe when I dont have to do everything myself! The husband says nothing! So you have an example can you please tell me why it is not expected for moms to be worn out to be tired to need a break to get out of the house without the kids?!?! When we say I have to run and get milk I will be right back and she gets the question well can I come why dont we all go as a family? REALLY I can't run and get milk without the kids why am I not allowed to leave this house alone!!! Do husbands not understand that for many moms the only alone time we get is when we can run to pick up the milk or the toilet paper? Wow what exciting lives we live!!!! Is it to much to ask for us to get a minute alone or God forbid a couple hours or shall I say it a DAY?!?!? Yes many of us may not have kids at home during the day but it is not like we are stting on our butts watching tv the whole day its not like we are not doing the laundry or mopping or a favorite cleaning the toilets! So why are we treated less than? Many husbands have their sports they watch normally alone so the kids or wives dont bother them, or on their way home from work they stop by and see a friend. Which is all fine but why can we not to the same. Oh and the talking on the phone thing.... Yes I am on the phone longer than my husband and more often than him as well, but when am I supposed to have to time to go see these people? If I cannot see people I need to be able to talk to them... and for me and my bestest friend ever we have a bigger problem, we live 4 states away from eachother so its not like we can do our shopping together or take the kids to the park together... so we talk on the phone, and yes it is different than talking to your husband...I believe women need atleast one women friend to talk to, to share their worries with to share there frustrations with. If we atleast have just that one person our lives can be a bit happier. So men when your wife or girlfriend says I am tired dont come down her for it, maybe see what you can do to help to make her less tired. Does she not do this for you? Making your meals washing your clothes.....
