The kids are driving me crazy!!

I know it's been awhile since I have been blogging. But I just can't get time with my kids. I am so stressed out, I feel at times know one understands what I am going through. My husband just doesn' get it. He wants the house clean,kids and I clean, and dinner ready. Don't get me wrong he's a good husband, but sometimes he get's on my nerves. I guess coz' we're from 2 different worlds. I grew in America and He grew up in India. He had to work his way up , studied hard worked hard , got good grades and earned a gold medal(honors) in college. Now he is succesful computer guy. But me I didn't have to work hard to get food on the table, walk my miles to the bus stop, the way he did. And I think that he will always feel inferior to me in that way. I admire him for all his acomplishments, but I don't think I should be punished or feel bad that I lead an easier life. I know I started somewhere and heading somewhere else. But Maybe the root of all this stress, is the lack of communication between me and him. In the 7 years we have been married I have given up alot things. Now I realized I do have the right to speak up and demand certain things. The problem is I don't have the guts to say it. Partly cause of religion, I want to do the right thing, not being a dominant wife and get a way with it. I want to make him realize the things he says are wrong at times and maybe he should apoligize. alright that's all for now the kids are at it again.
Will vent later.

assalamalaikum,

hey sis, I commented on your afterlife post.

Well, I am kinda surprized you married an Indian guy. I mean I always felt ppl back in desi lands are so different from us NRI's.And the fact that you lived an 'easier' life, well, my parents will always hold that over me..since I live an 'easier' life than they did, I should be more civilized. God knows if they have any idea how difficult it is to be a practicing Muslim in this world and age...
I am not married yet, so cant help, but waiting for you to continue!
