Birthday
Is it wrong to nag your husband on his birthday? I feel pretty guilty for it. So, in the morning I have been taking the teenager to school at 6:45am and letting my husband sleep in (don't think I am nice he worked until 2am) and I get back about 7:20 and we get the other 3 up for school. We both are downstairs getting them food and I start what my husband and I both dread THE LUNCH MAKING DUTY. Now, mind you, I only take on this duty because watching him do it and the time he takes to do it is PAINFUL...So, in return for lunch duty he is to GET THE GIRLS dressed, teeth brushed this requires mostly coaxing, fairly easy...YET every morning he insists on getting online with ESPN and FOOPETS and ignoring HIS part of the morning duties until its 10 minutes 'til we have to leave and I am forced to step in thus leading me to the nag this morning on his birthday. Did he deserve it YES should I have held off for just today YES. where are we now?

This kind of reminds me of the rules I had growing up...no TV until you are fully ready. Now I understand he is an adult, so this may not work, but you could always try saying, "Honey, please get the girls fully ready before you start surfing the net". Or you could say, "You know if we had cable, you could listen to ESPN in the morning while getting the girls ready." :-) What do you think?
ReplyDeleteOur situation? Well, I get up every morning in a mostly good mood, let my dear husband sleep in while I get lunches made (yes, I dread that too, because it's just going to come home and be thrown away) get everyone breakfast, get everyone dressed and organized, while my dear lovely, husband rolls --- literally --- rolls over turns his laptop on and logs in to work. But I'd rather have it that way that his grumpy ass stumbling around trying to "help."
