DH is such a child. I blamed the recent show of childish behavior on all the snow and blah days but honestly it is b/c he is a man! My mom called yesterday wanting to vent about my dad and I realized that DH is doing the same things. The thing my dad did was so completely stupid and he is a smart man! The same things were discussed at our Girls Morning Breakfast the other day were all complaining of. They just do some ridiculously stupid things! Sometimes I feel like I am married to a child. How is it he can go to work and do a great job there and praised for his hard work, work ethic, attention to detail and timeliness and then he comes home and is always late for things, lazy most of the time, does the typical "men" things (burping, farting etc)? He would never burp at the lunch table and laugh about it at work. Why is it ok at home? We are raising 5 boys he needs to be their biggest example and he is just another kid. At work he is scheduled on time for meetings and organized. He comes home and can never plan ahead to be anywhere on time with the kids, always forgetting things and it is driving me nuts! Can't you tell! Once a week he looses his keys, his wallet etc.. IT is ridiculous.
This morning in his short tempered and again, rushing out the door morning (b/c he did not take the recycles out last night but instead waits till he is "work dressed" which means he spends the time yelling at the kids to do it, who ultimately miss the bus). HE knows I had a FULL day planned today and he ends up taking my keys to work with his this morning. He actually takes both sets and then calls an hour later to ask me if it was really important for me to get out today. Ah, ya, we have a horrible snow storm happening this evening and I wanted to avoid the ride home time frame to go run across town so yes, it was important. Well not important enough for him to bring my keys home. I guess he guilty or lazy as he doesn't want to runt he errands we need ran on the way home he says, so he hired a limo company to pick me and the kids up for a few hours to run errands. I didn't find this humorous at all and quickly cancelled. So instead of him just running the errands on the way home and wants to shell out a few hundred dollars and then have me ride around in a limo with 3 kids under the age of 4 and run those errands. WTF? I am so pissed at him right now I can't see straight.
I honestly don't get it. When he is "on" he is on. When he is "off" which is a large majority if the time he is really "off"!. We both work, have a large family and a lot of responsibilities within the community we live in. our in public he is "on" at home he is always "off" and I am sick of being married to a child. I fault his mother and curse her name a lot these days! I work my a$$ off to raise my boys to be better than the example they are seeing. But I am being worked to death on this as their example does the complete opposite. The detail too... you can tell a boy to bring down the box of diapers that is upstairs in their room right in the middle of the floor (it could be the only thing in the floor and is a new box and large, too much to miss). It would take them 5 trips to bring down the right item. You tell a girl to get some diapers up in the room and that is all you have to do, they just do it!
right now I am listening to two kids fighting and the other one fighting to not have to take a nap. IT is going to start snowing here in the next few hours and we will then be stuck inside for at least a few days. DH won't run any errands on the way home but he will bring me my keys so I can do them and now I am so mad I can't see straight to get anything done!
GRRRR...
Wishing I drank b/c today would be a great day for something. :) thanks for letting me vent.
