Yesterday as my husband and I drove to church I was telling him about last night and the boys next door playing basketball at 1:00 in the morning. I am currently living with my mother till I find me a job, house, etc. Anyways she had gone over and asked them very nicely to stop playing their basketball at like 10:30-11:00 because their bedroom window is right there and they were fixing to go to bed. The boys apologized and said they were sorry. Well then they started back up again around 12:30 (when I ended up going to bed) so I went back over there and said "Hey guys my mother has already come over here once and asked ya'll to please stop. I am the mother of twins and I am in the bed trying to go to sleep but I cannot with that basketball bouncing up and down...and I need my rest" The boys apologized again and I went to sleep and that was that. However, when I said the part to my hubby about me being the mother of twins blah blah blah he jumped down my throat and said WHy do you ALWAYS use that as an excuse to people? So what! Those boys don't give a crap about that. Well then I jumped down his throat because of him ALWAYS jumping down on ME when I mention the fact that I am a mother and a mother of twins. I just get so tired of it! I mean I know that there are other mothers out there in the world and their situations are a lot worse than mine. I do know that but for him to jump on me like that all the time and he says I want to make people feel sorry for me. Um no, I don't believe that I am but it is hard raising twins and especially hard when I am doing most of the work. Yeah he helps, he comes home from work and changes his clothes and gets on the computer. When dinner has finished he comes downstairs and fixes him a plate, eats it, and he might clean up the kids plate if he feels like it. Otherwise it is left for me to clean up as well as the mess in the kitchen. Then I have to come upstairs and run the bathwater for them, oh but he does get them out of the tub, but only because they are screaming for daddy to come and do it! I then reinforce them to brush their teeth, put PJ's on, etc. Then I finally do get them into the bed to say their prayers, etc. Does he get up from his T.V., playstation, computer to tell his children good night? No not unless he feels like it. I just love this be a daddy when you feel like it and be a husband when you feel like it. I just wish ONE day I could be the same way! I am sorry I am just venting and from what I gather it's not just me it must be a man thing but sometimes I just wonder if that is really true?
