Operation DARK as you can BE (while both living at home, w/children together) is NOW in PLACE.
I wish expletives were allowed. It would make this rant so much better.
OK, so you had a bad work week, you're tired, you're this, you're that... F' IT! That does NOT justify some negative/slightly hurtful comment every time you enter a room; some check-off of what has been done here (FOLKS, I'm A PRETTY MUCH SINGLE MOM W/A CAREER during the week! Our home is a showcase, homemade meals prepared, laundry done, etc...), etc...
This is NOT the time to set a boundary about the way he's being either, because he'll get pissed and bolt.
SO, every time I enter a room or he does AND HE STARTS W/THE NEG BULLSHIRT, I'm answering politely, AND COMPLETELY CUTTING HIM OFF from this non-stop chatter he craves. If he wants to talk to me, THEN START THE CONVO PLEASANTLY.
He throws a zinger, then EXPECTS/FORCES an answer, reply, etc... THEN goes on like all is fine.
I AM STAYING AWAY from him when he's here, and only speaking when required.
DONE!
GO TALK TO THE FRIGGIN WALL!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
