Our H's are somewhat similar, only mine wasn't/isn't so controlling. BUT I was always trying to keep the kids quiet so as not to bother Daddy with their mere exsitence. His job was too demanding for him to be bothered with children, for goodness' sake!
Re. the bathroom: so funny! We have one bathroom upstairs and another in the basement, which we only use as a powder room. H was always telling me that he wanted to get to work early, or at least on time, so he needed to go first. Okay, I'd get up, get the kids ready, eat breakfast, etc, then--as I'm on my way up the stairs--I'd hear H make a run for the bathroom to get there before me!! I swear, this happened nearly every morning!
Why didn't I just get in there first and say to hell with him? I don't know. He's get mad if I did, but I was seething and late if I didn't.
Anyway, I won't be such a doormat in my next R.
Have a wonderful trip!
