I'm a little annoyed!!

Janet · 10-10-2006, 08:47 AM

My husband and son belong to Boy Scouts. I firmly believe Scouts is a plus for any child, boy or girl. They have many campouts and it gives me time alone once in awhile.

Here goes....They just had their fund raiser at Ft. Ouiatenon this past weekend. Then on Monday evening they had their regular weekly Scout meeting. I was suppose to attend a Yorkie meetup on the 14th, but it was cancelled so I thought the three of us could get a lot done before it really gets cold. Well, someone is working on their Eagle project and the boys want to go....for 3 freaking hours!!!! It ALWAYS ends up being longer. I'm getting a little annoyed that my husband spends so much money for Scouts when the troop should be paying for it and now, it is taking up so much time when they are needed around here. I can't do it all myself.

I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it, but I am pissed!!! AND my husband knows it. Can't discuss it with him right now, because I'm sure I would explode. He is going to have to choose I'm afraid which is most important. I'm afraid there is going to be a showdown.....and I'm not willing to lose at this point!

Can fully understand how you feel, how about putting it all down on paper for your hubby to read then you will not get into a shouting match and he may understand how strongly you feel. This is what I do because when I am angry I never seem to get my piomt across without it being a case of who shouts loudest. Good luck.

I wouldn't do a damn thing if I were you. I would let it all pile up until your hubby notices and when he asks why you aren't doing anything, tell him that you are waiting on him to help you. Make it something that he would notice fast. Like do you do his laundry? Quit doing it! Quit cooking...he will notice when there's no dinner to eat. Don't do anything else until you have his help. Men are selfish. They aren't going to do anything unless there's something in it for them.

I'm just mean. My hubby says that I'm "so vindictive." But if he does something to make me mad, I don't let him know that I am angry. All I do is say, "Alright, we'll see," and then walk away. That is usually enough to scare him into doing whatever I want him to do. hehehehe Men are very simple creatures. You just have to know how to work 'em.

Or if they are inconvenienced in any way....

My mom did that one time! She has always been a homemaker without any help from my dad. She took care of 3 kids... kept a spotless house... cooked... waited on my Dad hand-and-foot... he never lifted a finger around the house.

It all started with a stupid argument over a phone bill... and BAM!!!! The next thing you know she was on a total boycott! Didn't take him long to apologize to her, either!

I guess washing his own dirty drawers, cleaning up after himself and fixing his own dinner wasn't as easy as he thought it was!!!

I LOVED it!!!! You should give it a try, Janet!
