Ok, so DW leaves for work at 7:00 every morning unless she has something she has to get done. She generally tells me the evening before and gets up early and all is good.
Well, now I'm running in the morning. I adjust my runs and showers and what not so that I'm ready to take the helm at 7:00. Pretty much on the dot. This morning I go run, eat a leisurly breakfast and am kinda screwing around joking with DW and getting ready to take a shower and she yells at me at tells me to stop messing around and hurry up so she can leave early. She hasn't mentioned anything to me about leaving early. Nothing at all. I call her on it and she says that she just sort of decided and hadn't told me.
I HATE being yelled at for doing something wrong when I'm working on doing something right. Drives me nuts. I really don't deal well with it at all. So now I'm pissed and DW knows it and says she wasn't yelling at me at all. Which makes me even madder because she was definately clearly yelling at me to hurry up. I tell her she can leave right now, I'm perfectly capable of taking care of the kids since I do it ALL DAY. She now says she doesn't want to leave now because she want's to see DD who is for some reason sleeping in a bit.
So now I'm rambling.
Anyway, I was in a really nice happy mood this morning, my run went well, I felt good and I had a positive outlook on the day which is good since DS has been absolutely horrible the last few days and I've been really frustrated with him. And now all of a sudden I'm in a pissy mood and absolutely not looking forward to DS waking up which makes me even madder at myself.
Grrrrr..... just a vent, thanks for listening.

:-) What can I say? I sure have been there. I don't know your dw and I'm sure she isn't always that way, but I do know how it feels and I share your feelings about being yelled at when you were not doing anything --

However, to change the subject--I know I've asked but didn't hear any response and I know your son was born in July? I believe I was hoping he would be on my birthday, 7/28, but I never heard. I may be off on my dates. Everyone else I"m sure knows, but I was gone for about a month and I think I missed it. When was he born? Tell me about him, okay? And your daughter is a bit older -- a year or so? I bet they do keep you busy! Have any pictures you can put on? Okay. Hopefully now I can keep up with THIS thread so as I can find out what I missed! Did you get your house all finished? I know you were working hard on it, etc. before baby arrived. See...I'm really out of it!!! Thanks! Oh, and go blow your son a kiss so as not to wake him up and sit down for another nice breakfast! Hope the rest of your day goes much better! Got sunshine? We still have frozen shut windows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forget about it and it's not worth it She probably just forgot to tell you! I know how you feel.

We both used to work and if we'd have a spat in the morning I'd forget about it cuz of work. But now that I'm home, it seems like it stays on your mind.

Being the nice guy you are, maybe you should call or email her Just trying to send a happy thought you and your wife's way

Oh well. Could she have been yelling TO you and not AT you? There is a difference.

But, it would have been nice if she had told you ahead of time, since you do have to adjust your schedule.

Vent away.

Hope your ds is in a better mood today for you. Good luck with the rest of the day!

BTDT w/DH. Sometimes I get up in such a *great* mood, and then he does something to tick me off. It is frustrating, because they then leave to start their day somewhere else (which can still be a good day for them), but we are still at home living the same day that is now rotten. LOL Did that make sense *at all*?!

Hope the baby is doing better today!

Go ahead and vent! I hope your day improves from here on out.

I woke up late today since Dh has the clock on his side and did not adjust the volume of the alarm. He wakes me up 20 minuts late and Dd has to be at the bus in 25 min. So DH had to take her to school, gaining 20 back, but he ended up rushing-not me, cuz he woke me up late cuz of the alarm clock. Stupid I know, but that was my morning.

{{{Seth}}} BTDT, as most SAHPs probably have. We all have our off times. The morning hustle can be stressful. I feel very much like you when the kids are acting up and DH gleefully says, "See you later... Have a nice day!" as he leaves for work. Almost like he's psyched HE's leaving and doesn't have to deal with the DKs. Grrrrr....

What's up with DS??

By Janet on Wednesday, January 7, 2004 - 09:31 pm:

Not to take her side or anything...LOL but I know there are times when I've got our schedules all worked out in my head (for example, I want to go work out, so I'm counting on dh to come home and stay with the kids), but I haven't said anything to HIM! Then when he calls and says he's going to stay out at the farm and not come home, I get mad at him because he ruined my plans, even though he had no idea I had plans. Actually, that happens a lot with me. Usually I bite back my words and stew about it (my method). I think it'd be better to get it out, but I hate yelling. (Rather have an ulcer, I guess). Anyway, sounds like that's what happened with you... here's to a better tomorrow!

Seth, I hope your day went better and today is good! I'm still waiting for your answer to my post above! Yep, I do want to know. I only have a small dog (Ollie) at home and he keeps me busy!
