who here hates yard work, and other **** that annoys me, just venting

so who here hates yard work. i am talking everything from cutting grass, to edging, to raking the leaves up in the fall, to general yard cleanup, and maintenance.

i absolutely hate it, but it is a necessary evil, as i cannot afford to have somebody else do it for me. i cut my grass in the early morning before it gets too hot out to make it a bit easier on me.

i'd have my 14 year old daughter do it, but she drags *** when it needs to be done, till its a bit too high to push the mower easily, is a bit lazy, and wont use the edger, additionallly i have to dump the bag for her, and pull start the mower for her, plus pay her for the chore, she only wants to cut it when she needs money, then leaves patches and strips uncut. all this being said i'm better off doing this one myself.

getting close to finishing up my sun porch addition on my home, but between this and all the other exterior home chores, vehicle fixes, watching the kids on my days off so my wife can work, i never get time to myself.

i have been going over and above lately helping my wife with the kids, and watching the kids at the pool at the YMCA so she can use the gym facilities to lose the fat gain she got from our last baby. this was her choice, i am glad to help her out in this way since it bothers her, so she says hey you have been helping out a lot lately, take some time today to do what you want.

im thinking well i have to cut the grass, and fix a water leak on her suburban, but say to myself well since the baby has been keeping us up lately a nice nap for a few hours is what i'd like to do. so i crash for 4 hours. i must have been tired, i dont ever sleep like this during the day.

i get excoriated for this. wasnt it my time to squander if i wanted to? oh well. sometimes i think the reason that men die before their wives is because we want to.

trying to cover all the bills, and barely keeping my head above water. all my vehicles are payed off, so no car payment expenses, sat down numerous times tried to trim the bills down, cant trim expenses anymore, actually drowning. easiest sell would be my 07 GT, but i would sure miss it. kick myself in the *** actually. once its gone my family would hoover up all the cash i got for it, and i wouldent have anything to show for it, so i'm not going to try to sell it.

just need to vent right now life seems to suck
