Does anyone else have issues with your spouses job. In particular, how/where to draw that line between work and play.
She is very good at her job. One of the reasons she is so good is that she doesn't say no to ANYTHING. She considers everything a critical work event. Volunteer to be on the board of such and such, sure why not. Golf event on Friday, absolutely. Fundraising dinner, I'm in!!!
In just about every other aspect of our marriage, we are 100%. Its just this one area. She doesnt drink at these things. Shes not bonding with anyone outside our marriage or anything. Her actual work work takes her away enough. overnight trips. Nighttime events that are actual 100% work events (not parties or mixers). It just drives me nuts that she always has to go above and beyond to further her career while Im expected to, once again, take advantage of my ridiculously flexible career to cover the kids.
I don't know, guess I'm just venting, but its frustrating. This month and next month are really heavy for her as far as off hour meetings and out of state trips...and yet she is out golfing in some work related tourney right now. I just wish she had courtesy to 1) ask if maybe Im available to cover. 2)maybe say no once in a while.
