Sometimes you just gotta' be a b---h!

Part of me feels really guilty, and part says "deal with it". Last week and this I've had my 3 kids every day from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to tennis lessons, swim lessons, tutoring, jobs, coached my drill team, taught an "extra" class for little girls at our local rec center, blah blah blah. The "stuff" you do when you're a mom right? No big deal. So tomorrow night I have a board of zoning appeals meeting (I'm on the board) and we have 5 matters coming before us. I need to prep for my meeting, which means I need like an hour and a half with no kids.

Asked DH (whom I ADORE -- please don't get me wrong) if I could have some time to prep, which means he watches the kiddos. He was slightly preturbed and asked me what I do all day. Soooo, little b---ch that I can be, I am going on the RT next Thursday. He'll have the kiddos, AND I've scheduled 4 service/repair calls for that day. Hmmm, wonder what he'll be doing all day.

Ok - guess I should be preparing for my meeting. Just had to vent.

Oooooh, wrong answer! Isn't that something they need to learn NOT to say in Guy101? I'm guessing if looks could kill you guys would be at the E.R. right now?
 
In your "free time" I would jot down my daily itinerary for a few days. If he needs specifics, give them to him. I LOVE the service calls. Great job!!
 
If you really want to be a "b" and make a point, STOP doing what you do all day. Just for a bit; see what happens. }(

You have got to give him the opportunity to have the kids for a whole week himself. Maybe for his next vacation!! Then he'll see what you do all day!!

OMG you don't ask ANYBODY that question; holy crap. What is it with men?!

I asked DH yesterday to please pick me up 2-3 containers of yogurt; nonfat or lowfat whichever they had didn't matter. SO HE BRINGS BACK FULL FAT. Seriously; 18 grams of fat. I made him look at the container and keep looking at it until he figured it out. }(

And um, anyway, three kids every day?! During the summer?! Yow that's impressive!!

And I bow to your superior wife abilities-- scheduling the service calls is pure genius.
 
I totally agree with this suggestion - write down your schedule for a week and hand it to him! Then see how worn out he is when you get back from the Road Trip! When you went on the other Road Trips, did he have full charge of the kids then? If so, you can always remind him of how tired he was when you got back.
 
ONE time dh did the "what do YOU do all day?" rant and he found himself not only having to wash his own clothes(not in my washer/dryer had to go to mommy's) but do so after he picked them up out of the front yard.this was when we owned our own property 12 acres to tend to on top of the house work and a newborn. never came up again until i was in the hospital for two weeks and he had a terrible 2 toddler(which at the time we didn't know about the autism so throw that in there) and the 12 acres of land and a house to tend to,he b**ch and moaned about how hard it was. never came up again!!

Lorrie....you're my hero!!!! :D
 
Good for you!

My DH had to take over the household and child care for 2 weeks while I flew out to visit with my terminally ill father 3 yrs ago.

During the 1st few days he was constantly calling on how to make stuff for the kids (ages at the time 15, 13 & 7) to eat i.e how do I make rice what seasonings do I use to prepare the meat.

Eventually my poor kids ended up on a McDonald's junk food diet and boy was I pissed!
DH would call and say "Boy I can't wait for you to come home blah, blah , blah"

My oldest dd ended up in charge of brushing out youngest dd's hair and my house was a wreak when I came back home.

He did not like my job at all and gladly gave it back to me saying never again lol

Nowadays he tells folks that I am the foundation of the family and without me he'd be lost - nothing like walking in another's shoes I guess.
 
You'll have to be certain to ask him what HE did while you were gone. LOL!
I'm sure you gain some respect when you get back from the RT.
