NOT because I actually have a clue.
This is what my family thinks when I ask them to do anything. husband was asked to throw in a load of kid clothes. Assured me that J had a load of clean clothes and thank you had just put some clothes in the wash. yeah, not one item of J's fit. He grabbed clothes with-o asking her. thank you put in 1 pair of shorts and 2 shirts. It was a load of husband's stuff and thank you didn't think there was room for anything else. I had to get the "emergency" pair of undies out for him. Kept for when husband pulls this bonehead stunt.
The entire family thinks I am an idiot for insisting that food should be covered, in a ziploc, or in a sealed plastic container. husband actually put an entire bag of tortilla chips in a plastic bucket with HOLES in the lid. Assured me bug couldn't get into hoels the size of those in notebook paper. He was a flipping BIOLOGIST!!!!!! No one here will wrap anything they put in the fridge. NO ONE but me.
I guarantee that if I say we use skim milk my husband will go buy whole milk. HE is the one who insisted on skim years ago, so we adapted. whole milk makes the kids sick to their stomachs. But if I say a certain kind of something, it has to be something else that gets picked up.
ARRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And when something goes wrong, it is MY fault. MINE. Every time. The cheese all dried up in the fridge? Mom's fault. NOT the person who put it away with-o closing it. Chips stale?? Mom's fault. (Mom has an ice cream bucket labelled CHIPS that seals shut - it was NEXT TO THE container husband put chips in. NEXT TO IT when he put the chips in it.
I quit. Can I come live with one of you for a week?
