whingeing whiner

As a teacher I am sure the days are long and the pain is real. I am positive I would want to strangle the first annoying teenager to look or speak to me even slightly snidely. BUT there is really no way that tending to a class of 25 teens, or 5 classes of teens, is at all easier than staying at home with 2 two year olds. Has my husband met our kids?
My husband is a teacher.
I am a SAHM!! thats internet talk for housewife.
Let me say firstly that I did not intend to marry a teacher. For the most part I have always found them bland and far too moral. Plus they know math which bugs me. The first time I met 'my guy' I said to my drunken self "toooo damn bad this guy is studying to be a teeeecher" He managed to win me over after we opened about 20 pieces of various tenents mail in his sisters apartment after 4 pitchers of draft. I always had a nerd fantasy thing going on so I just went with that.
So tonights argument. I say "I bet you are dying to go back to work" I said this not because I am a holier-than-thou smuggy be-otch but because he spent the most part of today exactly how I did all of last week, trying to get our darling girls to have a nap. The books and the damn message boards promise me that they are not to be dropping that afternoon nap until, like, 4 or something. So we try. I came home from Walmart and he was super pissed off. "Blah Blah they DON'T sleep" Like I'm new. So he says something to the effect of how hard his job is. I want to sceam I KNOW YOUR LAME JOB IS HARD BUT I AM DIGGING FOR SOME FUCKING EMPATHY HERE. Instead I call him a pussy and flounce off. Not too sure if flounce is a word. I bet a teacher would know. There may have been more but my point is it really bothers me that he whines about his job. I mean, he went to school for it. I got pregnant so I have to suck it up and raise these gorgeous beasts and deal with it. What if I went around telling people how shit my job is (I mean besides here, in real life I have a scary "everything is beeeeeeautifuuuuuul in it's own waaaaaaaay" kind of look about me)? I am frustrated because I want him to be happy and fullfilled and clearly he is not. Life is not fullfilling bucko.
