Re: random rant (feel free to add your own)

[(Anonymous)]

I feel worse for my dad, because it isn't as though she's showed him appreciation on her side either. He works 15 hour days, and she mostly sits at home and watches soaps.

I'm not saying homemaking isn't work, because it is. But the balance is honestly off skewed toward her here.

Honestly, I think she's hitting mid life crisis where she doesn't know what she's done with her life, and taking it out on him.

Under appreciation is a two way street. But keep in mind that what your dad has that your mom doesn't is 1) a paycheck to compensate him for his work and 2) the unquestioning recognition that his work is "real" work.

Encourage your mom to pursue some hobbies outside the house, something that's creatively fulfilling. In the meantime, pitch in with the housework yourself.

I already do pitch in about a third of the work but there was significantly no demand for me to get paid along with her. :P

And I understand the point about appreciation but what I was trying to say is that I don't think it's an issue of anyone outside, I think it's her. She has to find happiness or self worth before anyone else can pay her into it. I already do encourage her to find hobbies but she doesn't want to, I encourage her to travel but she's too afraid to, I encourage her to learn new things but she doesn't want to. She's one of those 50 year olds that are terrified of computers and the internet. She refuses to talk to anyone about it either.

My sympathies. She sounds a little... institutionalized, for lack of a better word. Like she's been stuck in that rut for so long she doesn't know how to get herself out of it, and her general unhappiness drives these unreasonable demands. I hope for your sake she finds a healthier, more productive way of finding happiness. 50 years is too young to be so stodgy.
