Your life is your own BPP. Make it what you want it to be

unfortunately if I do what I want I will probably always be destined to live life a lonely spinster......and that didn't sound promising either.

I really only had two choices in life a lonely crazy housewife who is underappreciated or a spinster.....and I would rather not choose life alone.........

The thing is BPP, you see your choices and you see two paths, but unless you take a path then ou wont know what it will lead to.

Are you saying your husband would leave you if you chose to work or follow your dreams? Not much of a husband.

I really only had one dream and this damn illness squashed my chances of ever becoming a teacher. I used to hallucinate every night when I was going to school. I had no idea what it was until I learned in psych class what a hallucination was......I bailed out of psych class once because I couldn't study because I couldn't sleep because of all the hallucinations I was having.....I failed my intro to education class and unfortunately you can only take that class twice. I know that I won't be able to live my dream as a teacher because this illness sucks so bad.....so following my dreams isn't an issue.....I am not sure if the hubby would leave me if I worked but I know he would leave me if I didn't work and clean house and I don't think I would be able to do both.

Princess, aren't you starting school again this fall?

can I be a crazy house wife...I just want to fit in....it that so wrong?

Yeah I am starting school again this fall but it isn't for teaching.....it's for an associates in liberal arts........

What is BPP?

i have worked a 40 hour job, took care of three kids,20 animals, and 9 acres of land. all at the same time when i was 40 years old. i have a number of illnesses that are painfull to say the least. you have a teenage daughter who can help with the housework, you are young, there is no excuse to not be able to have a life, get a part time job, then you could have enough time to do housework too.

You can be an assistant teacher with an Associates in liberal arts, I think. Especially at the pre-school level, if you are interested in that.

I work a 40 hour a week job, I have BP ( untreated and unmedicated)
I have IBS which makes me sick every single day.

I wake up and do the laundry, I bake I cook and i clean, I STILL manage to hold down my job. Its damned hard but its worth it.

Your daughter should be starting to help out with the housework, it's good for her to learn young as she will be better prepared for when she leaves the roost.

Dont make excuses, either go get the life you want or accept that your life isnt what you want through your own doing.

BPP=Bipolar Princess

I wouldn't mind helping out at a pre-school. "I always thought I wanted to teach high schoolers but I am not so sure I would be
able to deal with their attitudes all the time......'" helping teach the ones who need to be molded isn't a bad idea. And the caseworker is gonna help me get my license once I finish school. My hubby doesn't care if I don't hold down a job. All he cares about is the housework really. He just wants me to pick up after everyone with little to no appreciation and then expect that I like it. I always told my mom if I ended up being a housewife I was gonna do myself in before that happened.

BPP ... can you answer something honestly?

Why do you say you hate your life and then make an excuse for it?
