Feeling a bit sorry for myself today. I am trying sooo hard to do well with my PP and my partner picks fights with me over it all the time. I try not to do too many parties that see him left with the children but I have to be able to do some weekends afterall. Now, because I am on the computer correcting peoples orders(they keep changing their minds!), and because I call a person or two (not always pp related) I am always too busy.
I don't make enough money, I spend too much time on this thing, am I ACTUALLY going to have a night where there is no mention of pp? So, alas I am feeling completely defeated and thinking of giving up.
I made top sales for the month and got some awards too!I know that we have had the husband discussion before..but I am at a loss. Why the hell do they have to be such pratts when it comes to pp and going places with it??
Very sad M

Sweetie, I know what you are going through.
It's a neverending battle.
All mine does is whinge AND COMPLAIN all the time.
If I'm working a lot - why are you out all the time?
If I'm not working much - why aren't you out tonight?
...You're on the bloody computer again!!!
What's all this mess, it's taking over the house!!
And it just goes on and on and on...
I usually shut off as i am someone who does my own thing if i believe in it
but how many times can you do this for?
How can we be strong to keep shutting off?
It's totally exhausting and it drags you down.
But as i say and continue to say - we need to rise above it.
Don't lose track of your path, vision and passion.
As my son says..."Mum, you are one with the universe!" - I'm sure he's teasing me??
But he is right: I AM ONE WITH THE UNIVERSE!!!!

Hi Plainjayne
Congratulations on top consultant darl, and yes some hubbies can be a pain in the butt!!!
Tell him to put on some 'big girl panties' and get over himself!!!!!!!
Don't give up, he will eventually come round. Once he realises how much you have grown as a person because of what you do, and when you are paying for all of those little extras that need paying for, surely he will see what all of your efforts are producing. Keep up the great work, and don't let others bring you down. You are bigger than that!
Cheers

Great BIG hugs!!!!!!
Unfortunately some never get the point to it. A friend of mine got no support from her husband or family for a long time. It wasnt until they were taking her to the airport to go on her overseas trip, fully paid for by the company that they realised that there was something to this pp thing. He got the point even more when she paid for the deposit for their home - in cash!
I hope for your sake everything sorts itself out

A BIG hug for you !
My husband has Aspergers Syndrome.
I finally connected to a support group and it changed my life

I know exactly what you are facing and I made the decision not to let it affect me.
It's simple really - everything that happens is my fault.
I just take the blame and there is nothing to fight about. But I don't let it stop me from doing what I want.
If I gave this up today - he will only find something else wrong.
Eventually they give up when they realise you aren't going to stop doing your own thing.
How you react can make a big difference
I wish you the best of luck

Husbands and partners are darling creatures aren't they?
Mine would get annoyed in the beginning, only because he had to look after the kids.
But over time as he saw I was making money and we could afford a night out on our own every now and then, he has become very supportive.
I think we all need to find a balance that suits us and our families. My kids don't like me going out at all, so I try to avoid parties during the day on weekends. In saying that I also limit my night parties.
For example, I might book every second Friday night and Saturday for whole day. That way we can plan 'family' outings and special dates LOL.

Unfortunately some men dont like you to be independant due to their own insecurities.
He better hold on as I can see a very successful business woman incoming.Congratulations on your acheivements so far.
Chin up and dont let anyone drag you down.

By the Goddess some men need a good slap in the head.
Don't let him get you down, sweetie, some of them can't handle the thought of having an independent, strong woman and then there others that learn to love it.
Let's hope he gets to be a fast learner for your sake.
Luv and heaps of hugs,
