Moooom! That is something I have to hear constantly. My son is 8 years old, but has ADHD and has Asperberger's so he behind in maturity. Even simple tasks he is whining me for me to help him. We have a lot of fights. When I say "No", I get tantrums, huge tantrums. Going to the store with him is like being tortured. After a day of dealing with him and his many demands, I'm spent. Then his step-dad comes home. He is tired from his labor-intesive job and doesn't want to do anything for himself either. Then HE starts whining for stuff. Last night I had to go out for eggs, soda and candy because he wanted me to make him a cake so he could take some in his lunch. The other things are just things he wanted. He wants dinner as soon as he comes home. I thought here in the 21st century women would have equality with men! We work, too! When I worked outside the home, I didn't have people that did my grogery shopping, cleaning or cook me dinner! I had to do it myself! Sometimes living with my husband is like living with Fred Flintstone. I like taking care of my family but now I think they are taking advantage of me. I'm a nice person so I want to make people happy. I know it is bad to be such a pushover but that is just the way I,m made.

EQUALITY, whats that? I swear some days I wake up with one nerve left in my body and my children or my boyfriend are stepping on it. I was made a pushover as well.
