When I ask you to do one simple thing in the morning (change our child's diaper) because I'm running late, please just do it! And when you come in late (7:00pm) and there's a mess on the kitchen floor, don't ask about it. Just ignore it!
Love you!
Your wife

So let me explain:
Yesterday late evening, Hubby walks in the door (7:00ish). Lil Man and I had already eaten dinner. I had forewarned said husband that we were only waiting until 6:30 then we were eating with or without him. I cooked Chicken Parmesan by the way!....anywhoo.....there were plastic storage containers ALL over the kitchen floor (I admit it looked like a tornado had hit). Lil Man had kept himself entertained by pulling them out of the drawers and stepping on them. I frankly did NOT care....he was playing close by, out of my way and letting me get dinner cooked. This was the first thing said Hubby commented on; just about sent me through the roof. I smiled and said I would clean it up later. I honestly think it's still there this morning. Do I care??? Not so much!
THEN.......this morning.
Our mornings usually consist of this: I get up and get dressed; Hubby is still in the bed; I get our child up, diaper changed and dressed; Hubby is still in the bed; I take child to my mom's (where thankfully SHE does breakfast) and head to work; Hubby is still in bed; Hubby gets up and takes dog out for a walk and then heads into work.
I honestly don't mind that the man doesn't do a whole lot in the mornings. I'm okay with that UNTIL the one morning I randomly ask for a small favor........I was running late b/c my child got up early. Lil Man had been playing in the bathroom with me as I got ready. I asked Hubby to go change his diaper right quick while I was finishing up. Hubby calls Lil Man several times with no response (while still lying in the bed)....this is where I get super annoyed, take care of it myself and head out the door.
"I was getting ready to do it. I'm not sure why you're annoyed," responds Hubby.
When I wake you up during the night to take care of our child, just think about these incidents my darling love. No complaints from the peanut gallery allowed! [smirk]
Does anyone feel my pain??? Or am I the pain??? {grin} If you think I'm the pain, no need to comment because this was my rant post and I'm always right thankyousomuch!!! LOL

Of course I had to stop by after reading your comment on Texas Mama's post. The men in our lives can sometimes be so frustrating and clueless. You go Girl!
I feel your pain! I just LOVE it when I tell Texan Papa "Can you go get the baby?" and he just lies on the couch and calls out "BAAABBBYYYYY! COME HEREEEEE!" I'm like SHE IS 18 MONTHS! YOU HAVE TO GO PICK HER UP! He always says, "She'll come to me eventually." or he says, "Charlie Brown, go get the baby and bring her here to me, okay?" I'm like THAT IS NOT THE POINT. GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND DO IT YOURSELF!!!
Marriage... good times.
I can definitely symphathize.
I totally get where your coming from. Just a tiny tiny bit of help is nice.
