Last Friday I was most unhappy with the spousal unit. He told me he was going to be home in the morning to help me load up the car. The kids didn’t have school so it was my one morning to sleep in. At 7:45 he wakes me up to tell me he wants to leave and whose car should he take? He also wanted to engage in lengthy conversation about our plans to get to the tournament. Homicidal thoughts ensued and after angry threats, he backed out the bedroom in fear of his life. When I finally got up, I was still angry. As I walked by him in the kitchen he says “So what do you want to do?” all cheery like nothing happened. I glared at him and said “Kill you.” Without missing a beat he says “Yeah, but there’s all these logistical issues, like digging a hole and where you’re hiding the body. So…..what do you want to do NOW?” I scowled again and said “Still kill you.”

I know that feeling, My husbands just gone to work. Ive been up all night throwing up with some sort of bug, the same one Luke has. I spent the whole day yesterday saying I couldnt wait for him to get home so I could go to bed.
What happens? He comes in, I end up sorting the kids out and although he went and got takeaway for dinner I still ended up having to get them ready for bed etc. Then When Luke wakes up an hour after he falls asleep, comes dowstairs and throws up everywhere IM the idiot that ends up getting the carpet washer out and cleaning it up so that we get rid of the smell and the bug properly.
Jackl wakes up a bit later saying he’s poorly but by this stage Im in bed, he’s not… He ignores Jack so yet again I have to sort him out.
This morning after sleeping through me being up and downstairs all night being sick he goes to work without even offering to find someone to have the kids, or God forbid have a day off so I can try and recover a bit!!!! I swear to god I someimtes feel like Im bringing these kids up on my own!!!

My wife leaves the house much earlier than I do in the morning. I tend to stay up much later though. I work for a company on the left coast and we live on the right coast so a lot of stuff runs late in my world.
I worked hard to get a job that lets me stay in bed until a reasonable hour. But even though I don’t have to get up she tends to ask me to fix her and the cat breakfast. And I do because I am a kind and loving husband. When she leaves I go back to bed which I think is fair. So why or why does she often call me from her car just after I get back to sleep?

Oh, I’ve had those days. I hear you, sister.

You’d never pull it off. The local authorities know all about your anger issues.

Nemma- Yeahmy husband has done that too. I remember when the kids were little and it was a nightmare. It’s not so bad now. My 10 year old can actually get stuff for me. Once I sprained my ankle when the kids were little (son #2 was a baby) and he took off the next morning and left me and I was on crutches trying to manage the kids.
Alfred- I think the meanest thing someone can do to me is wake me up. I figure if I’m mean enough, eventually people’s fear of waking me up will discourage them from doing it anymore.
Tendrils- LOL! I almost cracked a smile, but was still too mad.
Jesse- Well not DAILY, but certainly on occasion.
Pandemonic- Lol. Oh yeah.
Fab- I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Men!
I know what you mean. Mine had the gall to say his job was HARDER than mine and that I could never understand what he has to deal with all day.

Never. I repeat never get between a woman and her sleep.
Funny, we joke about when I’m going to off Beau all the time when he pisses me off or when we up the life insurance.
Last night he sent me an email saying I should use some nerdy service as a wake up call “WHEN” he’s dead. After his car accident this week-end on 520, I didn’t find that funny. A-hole! No matter what he’s always wrong.

Nevis- LOL! I hear that every day too. Hurrrumphhh.
Scout- You’re telling me? OMFG. I never get to sleep in!
I’m glad Beau’s ok. He loves that little car, but I tell you, I’d much rather be in my big truck in an accident!

You’ve really hit a nerve here with me. We are currently having many many technical issues with sleep-mostly being that my dearest, loveliest husband subconciously believes himself to be INCAPABLE of being alone with the kids for more than 3 1/2 hours. That mean I only get 3 1/2 hours of sleep…unless one of the kids has a crisis(example:our month old duaghter needs a diaper change) at which point he wakes me up immediately.
GRRRRRRRRR
I think you were completely justified!

Person- I do not envy you! I recommend making him change diapers.
