That picture pretty much sums up how I'm feeling about my husband this morning. Don't get me wrong, I love him, but, I kind of want to trip him on purpose randomly, throughout the day.
You see, when it rains? He doesn't work. And it's been raining ALL FREAKING MONTH. It's bad enough we don't get paid when he doesn't work and I don't have any idea how I'm going to pay my bills this month, but to add to THAT stress, my husband has to be ALL UP IN MY GRILL when he's home.
"Are you going to do those dishes?"
"Are you going to fold those clothes?"
"Are you going to go to the gym?"
"Are you going to get off that computer?"
"Are you going to bend over for me?"
That's just a small sample of the harassment I've recieved THE ENTIRE MONTH OF OCTOBER.
This morning has been the worst of the days by far. Why? I'll tell you why.
Because he made pancakes for the boys and HIMSELF and didn't even offer me one.
This is how it went down.
"You left the gas on, Tony"
"I know, because I'm going to make MEEEEEEEEE a pancake with the rest of the batter."
"Oh, ok. BECAUSE I DON'T EXIST!"
Realising he was kind of being a selfish, inconsiderate -to the woman who GAVE BIRTH to his THREE children- ass.
"OHhhhhh, did you WANT ONE? I didn't offer you one because I thought YOU WERE GOING TO THE GYM."
That's when I ran and locked myself in the bathroom to cry alone in peace because my husband no longer thinks of me WHEN HE MAKES PANCAKES.
Think about that for a minute. I shat out THREE kids for this man and he can't make me ONE pancake. You'd cry too.
Or maybe you wouldn't because not everyone is as dramatic and emotional as I am. And maybe, just MAYBE you're thinking... ""BUT HE POPPED YOUR ASS ZIT for cryin' out loud! He doesn't HAVE to make you a pancake!"
Well, SCREW YOU! Maybe he doesn't have to make me a pancake, but if he's making them for EVERYONE ELSE and for himself, don't you think he could at least OFFER to make me one?
Like Oprah says, It's not ABOUT THE PANCAKE.
It's about the fact he's BEEN HOME ALL MONTH. And we don't HAVE ANY MONEY. And HE TRIES TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY. And I JUST WANT HIM TO GO BACK TO WORK ALREADY.
And? It's about getting some support up in here. Some wimmins to maybe tell me "you go girl, you don't have to TAKE that from your man!"
Maybe you should start reversing the game on him. When he gets up in the morning give him a list of things he needs to do and tell him that you have plans for the day! Your not the maid and you shouldn't have to put up with that crap! Men are always good at dishing shit out but never good at taking it themselves. Stand up Girl, Kick him in the ass!!!
