...next time please feed the children!

I had a splitting headache this afternoon so I went to lay down as soon as DH got home from work. I guess I wasn't totally explicit, but I did mention that we could just make a frozen pizza for dinner (as is our usual Friday custom).

Fast forward two hours (it is now almost 8pm) and DH wakes me up to tell me the pizza is ready. 8 p.m! It should be bedtime and he is just now feeding the kids dinner. DS2 doesn't eat pizza yet, so I quick made him a quesadilla which he gobbled up. Once he was done eating, he went straight to bed. Poor kid was so tired.

DH was standing there telling me the kids were both happy, no one was crabby, it didn't seem like they were hungry, blah blah blah.....

UGH!!!!!! Please take some responsibility for your family, DH!

I was looking forward to a relaxing evening at home and now I'm all pissed off.

I feel your pain. My DH just doesn't get it sometimes. As in, just because YOU don't feel hungry doesn't mean the kids aren't. I have come to realize that the more explicit the instructions are, the better.

:6: Amazing how sometimes the DHs just don't get it. Hope your evening improved!

I nearly got a migraine just thinking about this.
