*Apparently* I have free time.
I’ve had this nagging dull headache all day. Right behind my eyes. Makes me feel like shit.
Mike comes home at 7:00 these days. Right in time for Carter’s bath, so I throw him in with Mike - kill 2 birds with one stone right? Fine. I take Carter out, and dress him in his pjs, get Carter a bottle and sit down.
Mike’s finished his dinner and leaves a HUGE mess after I just cleaned up mine and Carter’s mess from dinner. He doesn’t give it one thought that Hmmm, maybe I should clean up after myself. You wonder if I spelled it out for him - yes I had and thought it was quite clear. I asked him to “wash his dishes and clean up after himself”. He gives me an exacerbated (like that word?) and drawn out FINE *sigh*. As if I had asked him to sell his child or something (for that he’d probably put up less of a fight). I come in the kitchen - after he sits down in the living room in front of the TV - and see shit everywhere. Serving spoons and the plate that had the hamburgers on it, the tray for the corn - you get the picture. He washed ONLY the plate that he had used to eat his food off of. The rest *apparently* wasn’t his mess!
So, I ask nicely “What are you doing right now?” He said “Nothing.” As if he’d been caught stealing or something. So I asked him to come back in the kitchen to help with the remaining mess. Fucker wouldn’t wash the dishes so I did that part and made him clean the table and the counter. What does he do? Sweep the shit onto the floor! Jayses man, WTF!? So, I make him take the broom out and sweep the floor!
He says to me “Are you going to bed now?” to which I replied no (I had said that I needed to lie down because of my headache). He then says, “So now that it’s “free time” you don’t want to go to bed?” Gawd forbid that I would want some time to myself and relax! I should be going to bed so that I can’t pester him anymore.
Men, I swear. If it wasn’t for us women they’d be just like monkeys sitting in a tree flinging shit at each other. (Yes, Red Foreman said that on That 70’s Show).
