So hubby’s back. Pissy and grumpy as hell. Apparently he left his patience in Europe.
I don’t freaking care how tired he is – caring for two young children is fucking hard work! I NEED a nap! I NEED a break! WTH? Why does he feel he needs the break?
A break from what? Having quiet dinners in restaurants, prepared by other people where you don’t need to yell at people to sit the fuck down and eat? A break from sleeping through the night? A break from getting dressed and showered, and going bathroom by yourself for TWO whole weeks?
He started yelling at the kids for making a mess and throwing stuff around. I said what the hell do you care? It’s not like you pick it up.
He stormed off.
I didn’t follow.
He NEVER picks up anything. He saw my MASSive pile o’laundry and said “WE shoudl make this a priority to get done today”. I snorted and coffee flew out of my nose. ‘Cause guess what? He loaded ZERO loads in the washer, ZERO loads in the dryer, folded ZERO loads, carried up ZERO baskets and put away ZERO baskets.
To be honest – the house is cleaner when he’s away ’cause I have one less person to clean up after, one less ego to stroke. My stress level is less ’cause I’m not angry about having to do EVERYTHING! I’m not angry that I’m cleaning while the other adult in the house is sitting on thier fat ass watching TV.
For the next two weeks my house is going to be a mess – but guess what? Then he gets to go back to Switzerland and Ireland and I don’t have to deal with his laziness and impatience. Yay!

My husband works hard, but usually won’t relax when he gets home. He tinkers on his car, cuts the grass, and so on. The past couple nights he’s worked on installing a new garage door opener.
Anyway, he goes out of state a lot for work. As with your husband, our home is cleaner when he’s away. I don’t really like him being gone for more than a few days, but I do like that I seem to have less work to do when he’s gone. The man does not pick up after himself (unless it’s in his garage) or wipe up spills. Drives me crazy.
