OK so basically yesterday in a nutshell... According to her: I don't do any work around the house, I make her do everything and I make her take care of two houses. I expect her to do all the yard work and to clean the house and I just sit on my rump all the time when I'm not at work.
Back story: Our neighbors who are at their house all of 30 days out of the year instead of asking us if we would trim the weeds near THEIR trash cans... Called the city on the one day they were home last week and had us reported so we would get a notice from the city... All the while we are trying to get our old house ready so we can rent it because it's not selling... SO we had until yesterday (we got the letter from the city on Monday, nice expected turnaround city...) to take care of the weeds, which... No big deal right? Except we couldn't find out weed whacker because we had been transporting it between houses... So I thought it was in the shed and she needed some things out of the shed anyway so she goes to get her key, but it's missing... So she messages me on Facebook to see if I knew where her shed key was... I tell her where I saw it last but it wasn't there so she says "What am I supposed to do???" So I offered to come home on my lunch... When I usually do my 5K walk... In order to open the shed for her... What does she do? She messages me after I said I would help her and says: "For the record I am pretty pissed that this was all left for me." Which to be honest? Pissed me off! I mean here I am working 40 hours a week, taking care of the kids the other time while she is at work and I'm sacrificing my 5K time which she knows is important to me... And she has the gall to say that? So I go and open the shed and she comes home all belligerent about everything so I snap back and suddenly I'm being a jerk?!? WTH??? So I find the weed whacker and I go back to work... But let's just say yesterday was a series of these kinds of events all day...
Do you know why I don't get yard work done? Because she is always having me do other things! Like clean the living room or do the dishes or finish laundry... But I don't get any recognition that I do any of that... I clean the living room and I come home the next day and it's a mess! But I'm apparently the problem... I sometimes wonder why I even do the other things... Because it doesn't matter if I do it or not I'm still going to get in trouble over something... Ugh, I just want her to realize how much I do for her and the family but sometimes it seems like it's all about her...
