SCREAM!
I just need to scream so I can move forward with my day. Its a deja vu rant, so bypass if you'd like.
I do NOT know what I am going to do with my husband. I mean, this man was not like this 2 years ago, and I mean, I'm about to pull my hair out! He used to help me keep th living room spotless. Now the whole house looks like a tornado hit and he totally doesn't care.
I have stopped cooking when the kitchen is so full of dishes you can't find a space on the counter to set a glass. And all I WAS asking for was that the dishes be rinsed since we have to hand-wash them right now. NOT THAT HARD, PEOPLE!!! But nothing. When the sink gets full, he stacks on the stove. When the stove gets full, they go to the cabinet. When the cabinet gets full, they go to the table... Nothing. Laundry has waited 2 weeks now. The towels are in a pile on the floor in our bathroom - we've been walking on them for every bit of 2 weeks.
He sat down in front of the tv one night with a laundry basket with a small load of whites. Over the course of the next 2 (that's right, TWO) nights, he sorted and matched socks, and put HIS away. The rest laid on the living room floor.
A week ago Sunday, easy child 1 and I finished sealing the camper (which ended up having to be redone - the sealant we used was bad). We're supposed to go camping this weekend, so we had to get it done. When we got it done, I changed the spark plugs and wires in the car, the oil in the car, the oil in my truck, and the fuel filter in my truck. Know what husband did? Drove the team.
Camper had to be resealed, so easy child and I have been doing that the past 2 nights after work. husband did fix fence Tuesday night. Last night? I don't know what he did earlier, but he was in the house in front of the tv by 7. We're supposed to go camping this weekend. No one even has clean clothes to pack. Or towels. I came in the house covered in sealant and he had the gonads to ask "what's for supper". And I let myself snap back "whatever you want, I'm not cooking."
I've talked to him, I've made lists, I've pleaded, I've stopped doing, I'm desperate, and I'm so dang mad I could spit nails.
I did wash enough dishes for me and the kids to eat off of last night (husband bought pizza as opposed to having to do anything). While I washed the dishes, he picked up the clothes that have been lying on the porch floor since he brought them in from the truck a month or better ago. But if I'm not working INSIDE that house, neither is he, and I'm about to blow a gasket. I ask him "how would you feel" and he says he wouldn't be happy at all, he couldn't/wouldn't do half of what I do, yet he won't help any more. Why? He's not really into the housework thing.
He left for work yesterday and left his dog in the house. If she stays in, she eats everything she can get ahold of. Outside she has to be in the kennel cause she kills the chickens. I guess I was just supposed to put her up, huh? Along with feeding the old horse, the chickens, and getting difficult child up and ready and to school??? I love having that old horse for difficult child, but I wasn't the one that went down and bought it. But I help difficult child to take care of it. I love the fresh eggs, but husband wanted the chickens, too. And he thinks he'd like another KID? What the &^%$ ever.
And we have an old fishing boat. It needs a new water pump. easy child 1 took MY truck to be inspected last week because I can't get it done without taking off work. Turns out husband took a day off last week, but didn't bother to tell me. Probably cause he knew I'd make him do something. But anyway, easy child took the truck for me and one of the guys at the station works on boats. easy child wanted to take the boat to be fixed. He was going to pay, just needs the ok from us. husband won't let him until his truck transmission is fixed. The new trans is ordered, we're waiting for it to show up - what the he77 does his transmission have to do with easy child 1 fixing the boat so he can use it? OMG I am so mad.
Throw in the family outcast party from the funeral Sunday, and I'm telling ya, I'm fit to be tied. And even if its not the tv, he's doing something else as equally worthless. Tuesday while I was on the camper, he as building a hitch to put on the camper so he can "pull something someday, if he wants". Yeah for the hitch, but how about we repack the bearings that are a year over-due on it before we make it possible to hook another trailer on behind it! Sorry guys, I'm just fuming mad.
And what's gonna happen when I have surgery in a month!!!!
And he says I'm not as much fun as I used to be. YA THINK?????
