I have to start out by saying I love my husband a lot, I really do! He is kind, funny, smart, loving, generous and lots of other wonderful things but he is driving me a bit batty lately. I mentioned awhile back that I have taken on a part time job. I am working about 20 hours a week outside the house above and beyond my normal stay at home mom stuff. Last night I came home to a house that was a wreck, except for the half of the kitchen my husband cleaned. To his credit he did this all with out me asking him to, which was awesome. More often than not I feel like I have to ask/tell him what things I need/want him to help me get done around here. Like this morning I asked him if he would help me finish getting the downstairs cleaned up before he left for work at noon. As I was working on finishing the kitchen and laundry and floors he would kind of walk around and pick up little things/organize them then stand and watch me clean. I would then ask him to do something else (take the table cloth of the table please it needs to be washed). Again he would do what I asked and then come stand and watch me work/talk to me. Point blank it pissed me off. Could he not look around and find things to be done himself!?!? Yes! He's a smart man and perfectly capable of doing that. So being the kind to let my voice be heard I told him what I felt about it. He got mad and pissy about it but I really didn't care that much. I just wanted help. I have always felt that when I was at home not working I would do most of the house work and that's pretty fair I think. But I still thought (and he agreed) that he would help out some. In fact when I am home with the kids I feel like playing with them and doing stuff with them is the priority not cleaning (although in times of need cleaning comes before them). But now that I am working too I thought he might step up and try to help out more. He has stepped up with the kids and doing more cooking but the cleaning part not so much. Anyway I already have 2 kids I have to tell to clean up I really, really don't want to have to tell my husband what to clean up too ..... it's just too much. And that's my rant for the day. James I love you but dude help me out and take some initiative! Let see if he reads my blog....
