Today I'd like to trade in my husband for a better model
Granted my husband allows me to be me...in other words it's okay with him that my behavior is well..uh...bizarre...he accepts the fact (I think he even loves and enjoys) my desire to be defined in many ways...I'm not okay with one word terms that describe and limit how I should behave, such as...wife...mother..friend..lover...I'm too complicated for simple descriptors and I'm too ambitious for my own good...My husband is strong and secure, loving, and gives me freedom to be. BUT HE REALLY PISSED ME OFF TODAY! I have a 9 year old daughter and a 2 yr old son and I wouldn't dare juggle school and work and my children without a strong support system around me helping me maintain some semblance of sanity. My husband completely supports my dream to go to med school...I'm only a few months away from MCATS and the application process and he's been really supportive giving me time to study, work, etc (although it is taking a toll on him, our relationship, and our finances) ANWAYS my Dad, who wants me to be a doctor as much as I want to become one, sacrifices so much for me to go to school too!...because we didn't want my son to go to day care and I didn't want to take a lot of time off from school, my Dad who is a healthy, lively 70 year old retiree, volunteered to watch my son in the days and sometimes into the evening hours. He drives from his house 20 minutes sometimes as early as 6:30 and 7:00 am so I can make it to class on time. He even helps around the house...we have a cleaning peron come once a week and you would never know by the condition of my house...well my husband, that bastard, today was bitching and complaining about my dad giving him so much grief about all kinds of shit today...they were both trapped in each others company for the majority of the day... I'm going out to dinner now...but I'll finish this little melodrama soon...
