Thank you! I actually really enjoyed the lawn boy comment hahah. H would throw a fit. We both just pulled up to the house at the same time, which wasn’t part of my plan but he clearly took a long time getting here. Anyways, I got out of the car and got the baby’s car seat out and went to bring the trash cans up and he says to me “I got that”. I said it’s ok I’ve got it, as im walking it up. And he says, sternly, “I said I’ve got it”.... I literally looked at him, half laughed and said “and I said I’ve got it.”.... what he seems to forget is that he left here. He doesn’t get to swoop in and feel like the man of the house all the time. I’ve been taking up and down the trash twice a week for weeks now. Yes, I’m letting him mow the lawn, 1. Bc he seemed so hurt when I did it myself and 2. Bc our yard is huge and it’s a pain! But that doesn’t mean he gets to waltz in and take control as if he’s still tending to me and the baby and handling all the manly duties because he most absolutely is not!
I know this is petty. But it is something I would have backed down from a week ago and said “oh ok thank you!” And instead I’d like to show him I am handling sh*t on my own.
It’s funny you mention the alarm Blu. I can imagine that would drive my h crazy! He has talked about getting an alarm system in the house since the baby was born. He talks about it at least once every 2 weeks. I doubt it will ever happen.
He’s mowing the lawn now and as soon as he is done I will leave. Something I think I struggle with is how to pull away without coming off a little rude. When we both pulled up to the house at the same time, I was actually in my backseat getting the baby out when he pulled up. I looked right at him and didn’t say a word. Neither did he. I don’t want to be cold bc I know everyone says not to be. But I think I don’t really know how to act or respond when I’m trying to pull away from my nice girl syndrome.
