Just let me do it!

Ever since Jason and I got together I have always babied him. Now that we are older and the I have kids to tend to, his babying has dwindled down quite a bit. He's since been forced to learn how to pick out his own clothes (which just means grabbing whatever he left in the floor last) and make his own drink every once in a while (calls one of the girls to get it). When he gets home all I want is for him to be sweet, lovey and happy. The saying is true "If the woman isn't happy, ain't nobody happy"! Well, one if he dreads coming home because he's going to have to help out, he's not going to be anxious to get home. Two he's tired and had a rotten day, believe me I know. ( I hear about it Every night!) Add all that up and the ending result leaves you with an ill butt husband. ( Not sweet, lovey, happy, like I wanted) Then it doesn't matter what type of day I've had , the kids have been angels, no meltdowns it was Great Good or I want to pull my hair out, he's fussy and into everything, they've fought all day and my nerves are shot!!! Bad. No little kiss can fix it, my night is ruined, which ruins everybody else's. (I hate being in that crabby hormonal funk, it's not pretty.) So, at the end of the day I don't want help with my nightly routine. Just get out of my way sit, relax and forget about your day, I have it all down to a science, and I we can snuggle on the couch when I'm done. Well every once in a while he doesn't listen ( Lately, I think it's because of some of the spoiling comments, I've gotten. Plus my posts) and he tries to help out. (Which really irritates me! I like spoiling him, it makes me happy, so leave it alone!)
The other night when he came home, I was already feeding Jacob and supper was on the table. Well, all but a pan of fries which was beeping in the oven. Trying to help out he told me to sit and he would take care of it. Hesitant I just let him do without putting up a fight. Next thing I hear is him gasping in pain. I had the oven at 500' , to rush cook the fries and hear he goes and sticks his face right in the door to grab them. Being the drama man that he can be ( funny I know, we're talking about my big burly guy) starts screaming "My face!", here It sounded like I was talking to one of the kids "What did you do,now?". "I singed the hair off my face!" (This coming from a guy with all sorts of talents. He's around saws, big equipment all day for goodness sakes the man used to be a welder. Yet he can't understand the concept of a stove.) "What?, Shut- up you aren't serious!"I said. Then here he comes hands holding his forehead "Look!, did it singe my eyebrows?". I'm laughing so hard, not looking just telling him to get away, getting the fries myself. It's times like this I think I may have babied him too much. Then again it just re-enforces the fact he needs to just let me take care of it.

  3. My boyfriend is the same way. I can't stand it, I'll be trying to do something on my own, because like you, I have it down, my own way, and he tries to take over. Usually not in the sweet way your guy does, but more of a competition, like he can do it better than me. Regardless of what I say, something always goes wrong. Then comes the 'I told you so', or 'Why didn't you listen to me?'

  4. Ah, yes, the DH (dear husband) trying to work around the house, always gives me double the work! At least they try, right? It's the thought that counts?!

  7. You really need to post a warning on your blog, "Women that have already given birth and didn't do their kegels need to be wearing a Poise Pad before reading this blog."

    My face! I can't stand it!

    I can't imagine what the hell single people blog about!

    Keep 'em coming!

  8. I secretly suspect my husband acts dumb about somethings to get out of them. : ) He is a sweetheart though.

  9. While I can totally see where you're coming from, I have to say that my husband is wonderfully self-sufficient. I'm blessed to have the ability to be a stay at home mom, but I know that if I ended up laid up with the flu, jury duty or something else that makes me break out in cold-sweats, he'd keep things running smoothly. He's a great mommy-understudy.

    (Many apologies if this posted three times. Yikes!)

  12. That was hilarious. I go through the same thing with my fiance. My friend and I wonder how these men got along before us.

  13. LMAO As an Ex-wife of two, yes thats right, not one but two men, I can relate. Do they ever grow up? My second husband was very self-sufficent, but he was spoiled beyond belief anyway. We won't even discuss the first one. But they try (sometimes) and its always a good laugh when they do. I just wanted to say your blog is so real fife and true to life. I love reading it every day. I have told my daughter about your blog and now she reads it too. Thank you for being the "real Mommy".

  16. Haha, no. Quite the opposite. I love your blog. It's so pink and girly! It brings out my feminine side. Err... Okay, I'm going back to my own blog now, because I'm WAY too manly for this.

    But really, I love your blog.

  17. Thanks for stopping by my blog! Mostly, that is just for my own enjoyment, I had to change my eating habits, because, I ate out almost everyday for lunch, it was McD's, Subway, Blimpies, Pizza etc. I think you get the picture. So now everyday I think up my menu and I'm an eat at home more often Gramma. As far as expense, it really is less expensive.
    After all it's just my husband and myself and anyone else who wanders by. I have a young 16 year old friend who checks everyday to see what kind of fruit I have, and lots of times she comes by and enjoys it with me. I'm just a softly at heart;)
