it's the same old song...

i'm getting really tired of being the one he blames. i know it's just him projecting because he's tired. news flash: you're not the only one.

so i spent a few hours out of the house today. whoopee. i went to walmart and burlington and got a blizzard with my sister. which we haven't done in ages (similar things, not the exact things, but close enough). no niece, no riding the bus. no rush. it wasn't like i was doing anything super important. but consider that this is the first time i've been out of the house in two weeks.

now, i realize he's tired. he's worked a whole week, he's got all his end-of-year stress that he hates, plus mom. i get that.

but cussing at me just cause i woke him to help mom, because i'm being helpful and johnny-on-the-spot for mom, because i've been helping mom for two weeks, non-stop, without making a face, while i was ON MY PERIOD... i don't deserve that.

i don't deserve being told that i have an attitude because i'm awake and i'm helping and i expect the same out of him.

You're absolutely right. You most certainly don't deserve that.

Some (well, most...) men just are like that. They're tired, so THEY have a right to rest. Usually both partners work (more or less) similar hours but the woman takes care of all the housework as well. Which might mean 2-3 hours of extra work daily. Which is damn unfair! In most families women have the main responsibility of the children as well. During his free time he husband meets his friends and goes golfing. During her free the wife does the grocery shopping...

She cleans the whole house, he takes out the trash and HE'S the one who expects praises. Grrrrr.

Naturally the woman should always look immaculate, young, sexy and happy.

What REALLY annoys me is the way men are, when they're ill. His tiny little flu means he cannot do absolutely anything but her pneumonia means that she's (or should be!) fully capable of doing all the Christmas preparations (cleaning, shopping, cooking, baking, decorating, writing all Christmas cards, visiting old relatives etc.) and taking care of four toddlers and a couple of dogs too.

I'm so going to hell where men rule.(They do here anyway, so...) :D
