You know what just PISSES me off? I've got an awesome husband who just can't be bothered to get the shit *I* want done, DONE. Because I've "gotten on to him" once again today, he says that this has "become a source of contention and we need to just hire someone to get it done."
Bullshit. That's not the answer. The answer is to CARE that this is important to me and get off your ass to get it done.

Sing it, Sister. You know what I hate most about that? It puts YOU in the position of feeling like the scolding overbearing mother of yet ANOTHER whiny child - when what you WANT is to have a damned PARTNER in this business of keeping house.
They back you into the Bad Nagging Wife corner so you'll retire to lick your wounds and THEY can go back to sitting on the couch, eating Doritos and playing that stupid video game.

I think we need to come up with a drink - or maybe a dipped chocolate - called a Bitchin' Post.

ReplyDeleteHe's come a long way over the years. I can only see him growing up even more.
Thanks for letting me bitch!
Hey, that's what we're here for. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's the thing about the War Between the Sexes: WE know it's not really ABOUT the stupid bathroom. THEY think it's ALL about the stupid bathroom.
I suppose this is why all the fairy tales end right after the wedding, eh? You'll still live Happily Ever After.
