The nanny has apparently quit with no notice. Right in the middle of freakin' finals. So I have to study with three kids running around. And try to find a new nanny ASAP-which is seriously interfering with my study time.
To make matters worse, DH was informed by his boss yesterday that my schooling is causing him to be away from work too much. WTF??? Everyone that he works with is childless. I guess they got used to him having a stay at home wife who could deal with every detail of our children's lives. Apparently it hasn't occurred to them that had I gotten a job, he would have to attend to the kids just as much if not more than he does now. When something comes up, we look at who has the most important stuff going on, and the loser deals with the kid stuff. That is what parenting is. And its not like this happens weekly.
And the most infuriating thing, is that when he took this job, they touted how family friendly it was. They knew then that he was a parent. And quite frankly, if he wanted to be the type of man who put his career before his children, he could easily take a contract job that would pay 2-3 times what he is earning now.
I'm so glad to know that having children is not only impacting my own career, but also my husband's. This is a great world we live in, really. And his boss is just going to be soooo much happier when he realizes that DH is going to have to take off so that I can take my finals. One more week and then he won't have to deal with the kids for the rest of the summer. But the next week is going to be hell.
