Hey Sky! Sounds like you have your own hands full. Enjoy these milestones and savor a job well done as a parent.
I am irritated today. Two weeks ago I let WH know I was submitting out notice to leave our rental by June 19th, when the lease was up. Not a peep from him. Last week I told him I wass scheduling the carpet cleaners to come on June 17th and that I planned on having the entire house moved a week before that. Again, he just nodded. So I scheduled that as well. Tonight I was going through movers and decided given our super hectic schedules that I would hire folks that would pack and move us. I originally was thinking about packing myself but there simply isn't enough time.
WH said he preferred for us to extend the lease to then end of the month so we could "pack here and there." I gave an exasperated sigh as I have already scheduled the carpet cleaners, the walk through and the move out day. He immediately became argumentative and acted like the victim, "Never mind, I can already see you're not willing to consider my POV." So I asked him (with some frustration in my voice) to explain why we should delay it. He kept saying we could pack some stuff here and there. Now keep in mind this guy has NEVER packed anything. I spend weeks ahead of time packing everything before moving day. So I know a delay will simply be procrastinating a mad rush of me doing everything by myself again. Of course afterward WH went into his stone walling behavior and stared at the tv muted. Why muted? Who the hell knows, so we could sit in awkward silence. I just finished up cleaning the kitchen (I cooked dinner) bathing and getting the kids read for bed and now I am sitting here typing with irritation.
It's moments like this when I ask myself why am I married to this guy? He is lazy, procrastinates, makes promises and then "forgets." I end up being the only grown up in the relationship and continue to be so.
