Parenting

Dear DH

With you gone being a geek since 230 this afternoon I have managed to clean the living room, vacuum, make dinner, clean the kitchen, pre-make lunches for tomorrow, watch Frosty the Snowman while the kids have a snack, do bedtime/teeth/pjs with nobody yelling or fighting, and get the kids to bed early.

With you here, in the time it took me to shower this morning the kids had destroyed the downstairs, you left all the breakfast dishes for me to do, plates & food & crap on the table....

With you here they fight & scream at night because you wait too long to do anything. ?You forget to feed them snacks. ?You wait until they are way past hungry and tired. ?You don't pick up any toys, you don't wipe the table or counters or stove. ?Even though I'm heree with you and helping, the fact that you're lying in the middle of the floor does not in fact help while I clean up around you. ?It makes the kids think you're a jungle gym and pisses me off.

  • Can you make a copy of this and send it to my DH too?

    This sounds *exactly* like here. However; could you please add a part in that says something like, "If I ask you to go out and finish the xmas shopping at 6:30 on the Sunday before Xmas and you tell me to go and do it can you at least have the kids diapers and underwear changed, the medicine I told you to give them given and in BED and not wait for me to come home and do that too?!"
