[QUOTE="C.J., post: 237413, member: 1987"] Depending on the time of the month, I work 45-60 hours a week most months. When I walk in the house after a 10-12 hour day, as I walk through the house to put my coat in the closet, and put my purse in my bedroom, I notice dirty dishes in the kitchen and throughout the house, a bathroom which needs to have toilet paper placed on the dispenser, dirty kleenex on the floor - next to a wastebasket, socks and shoes discarded wherever, tv is on in the livingroom, computer is on, a cd player is on in N*'s room, and the mail in a new place each day. The first thing out of N*'s mouth is, "I fed the dog." Followed by, "What's for dinner?" If I don't gush my appreciation for her effort she made to walk from the kitchen with a 24 oz container to the garage 12 feet away and fill the container with dry dog food, and walk back the same 12 feet to put the food in the dog's dish, she's unhappy with me. We eat a lot of leftovers - mostly because I like to eat what I cook, and in that tiny passive-aggressive moment, I get to enjoy the fact she does not like to eat leftovers. Hey - there's food in the house, and I keep telling her if she doesn't like what I make for dinner, she can do it herself.... Oooooooo I feel your pain. [/QUOTE]
