Case-In- Point

To Pooks, who mentioned that she's The Best Ever Girlfriend for cleaning The Boyfriend's apt.

This is the conversation that *I* had this morning, with my husband of almost 14 years, whom I have been with for 16 years and lived with for 15.
Him: "What do you want to do tonight?"
Me: "Um..it's Friday night...OC will probably come over. Wine with the girls? Relax?"
Him: "Yeah, fun. Right after I 'take care' of the laundry room."
Me: "Oh, that. Right. Okay, then during nap time, instead of sitting down and relaxing, I'll go 'take care' of the laundry room so that when you come home you can have a relaxing night instead of having to do all that work."
Him: "I know, I haven't done much of it this week either. You're busy today."
Me: "Well, it just means I won't take my nap time break. I don't want you to have to come home and do THAT AND RUN, AND LIFT before you can relax."

I was halfway being an asshole because really, come ON...but I'm halfway not being an asshole because I haven't paid the laundry any attention this week. I threw in a load, but I haven't spent more than 30 minutes folding and hanging the shit. And yesterday I was down hard, so I didn't do anything. And today I will take care of it, but while I'm doing it I will think about how he could have done some of this too. And tonight will come and because I am AWESOME, I won't care about the laundry thing anymore. Usually he helps out with it. And he takes care of other things that I can't even think of because I never need to think of them. AND he was probably too scared to go about mentioning the laundry to me in any non passive aggressive way because I would have kicked his ass. Anyone who thinks that taking care of kids and keeping this house as clean as I do is in for an ass whoopin of massive proportions.

See my BIG problems? And those folks in Japan think THEY have it hard.

By the way, please tell me you know me well enough to know I was JUST KIDDING about that. I've already cried today, hard sobbing tears, watching the destruction.
Have a great day!
