I love this.Mine comes to me almost every morning, "I see some more yard work you can be doing."
I mean, my wife is a rocket and gets a lot done. I give her tons of credit for advancing our family. When she wants something she pushes to get it.
Whether it's to move house, better our situation, get documentation, getting stuff done for our kids schooling, medical stuff etc...
That's on top of doing the normal every day crap of dealing with kids/the house etc...
I do a good amount around the house (not enough or correctly for her...but that's another post with pictures) but every so often she throws out all she does to what "little" i do...(she hasn't held a full time job in 10 years...part time here or there at times but mostly her job has been a stay at home mom) and it is not easy, definetly will never down plays what she does....the problem I have is...what I do is 100% down played.
Running operations for a company and having 150+ people directly/indirectly need me for something or being responsible for all the production and people problem crap I have to deal with is not cake.
Usually..these bickerings are in a mild joking manner, sometimes a bit more serious...i guess that means they are all serious?
So, at times when she bickers about me not cleaning the bathroom the right way or...she did XYZ and i haven't done anything.
I walk over to the light switch and i turn the light on/off....and I say something like...HOLY CRAP!!! This is amazing. It still works!?!?!?! We have electricity....oh..that's right I sent the payment in last week...I was worried for a minute. Or I will look out the window and say...hon, it's still there..."what is?" your infinti....the bank didn't reposes it. Probably has something to do with the money I sent Bank of America last week.
I never keep score, even though the above seems like i do...but this is YEARS of culmination.
I'm not a...i make all the money, get me my slippers and make me a sammich person...but also, you don't get to make me feel like me working/supporting us for 15 years shold be taken for granted when I never have said 1 word about anything she has done/not done. Worked/not worked etc..
