So, yesterday evening, we went over to my friend's house to pick up some food, and my husband was asked to fix her computer. We spent an hour and a half watching him download software for her on her incredibly slow computer, while my feet swelled to the size of giant water balloons. I wanted to cry. I spend my weeks taking care of other people, and neglecting my house. And the ONE weekend I take off to take care of myself (and in consequence my baby), I STILL spend it taking care of others.
It bothers me.
I wanted so much to say, "NO." NO. He will not fix your computer tonight.
Tonight was OUR weekend.
Our last weekend.
Anyway, an hour and half later, we headed home. It was 7:30 PM. I had not eaten. I had been sitting on a folding chair for an hour and a half. The house was not done being cleaned.
As we were driving home, I commented that the weekend was not going as planned. And husband remarked, "It is spent as it always is. In the service of others."
True. We spend our weeks helping people. And this weekend, we did the same as we always did. Only this weekend, I didn't get paid for it.
I know it's time to put my foot down. There is an internet meme going around that is called "Before I Was A Parent" which talks about how a woman never spent sleepless nights taking care of infants before she was a mom. I did that for more than 7 years in medical school and residency with q3 call. Now as an attending, I do it 24/7 with 24/7 call. She also remarked how she never held a baby. I have done that for years before being a mom. She remarked how she'd never been pooped on or peed on or vomited on before she was a mom. I've had that done to me MANY times, before I was ever a mother.
The only difference between BEFORE and SOON-TO-BE now is that I'd be taking care of my own child. Not hundreds of other people's children.
And if I am so willing to do this for others, WHY can I not put my foot down and say, "STOP." It is time for me and MY child.
I think it's because I care too much.
I'm hoping when the baby is born, I'll have the wherewithal to say "NO." My son comes first.
For his sake, and mine.
