I need to make some changes.

My husband wanted to 'take a break' and go out of town for Labor Day. His contribution was driving the car to the beach and playing with the kids in the water. I made sure the sunblock and the towels and all the other crap got toted from the house to the beach and back. I did 90% of the packing, made sure the gas was in the car, did most of the cooking and all the other blah blah. It was like home, only with sand and salt water.

Don't get me wrong. My husband does help out around the house (I don't vacuum and he is good about doing the dishes). But he gets a fucking gold star for it. He isn't EXPECTED to do it. The only cooking he does involves flames and danger.

It's my fault. I should have done things differently all along. Now we have been together for 25 years and married for 20.
