Hi Totite,

There are definately moments when we are tested. For example, the kids had an 8 a.m. game on Saturday, I got up and ready, then woke them up. Then I was getting them ready, fed and out the door - all while H only took care of himself. This is a source of frustration for me and leads to anger. So I take the kids to the ballpark and on the way realize that the kids didn't bring water. I called home and didn't get an answer, so I called my H's cell phone and left a message - kind of smart a&&ed. He called back and asked me if I had an attitude. I did but just told him I was giving him a hard time. Whew - got through that one, he brought them water and it was done. BUt it is moments like that that I need to remind myself to ask for what I want - not to fume about it silently.



Can I ever relate to this! When H and I were at S4's tball game, H would say "S needs this" go take it to him or "go tell S this" "yell at S to stand up" and I'm thinking why don't you just tell him. Do you think it goes back to the way their mother's raised them? I know my mom did everything for my Bro's and they had to learn the hard way when they got married. I tell my SS that it's better learn it now and get used to doing it than learing after he gets married.

Sounds like everything is going great for you two. My H has never worn a wedding ring, he didn't like the plain gold ban I bought him for him and I never got a replacement. I will get him one down the road, just not sure when.

I like the fish cake idea, my H's 50th is in December and I'm planning a surprise party for him..ssshhhhh.
