Just a refresher, I have 3 kids: 3, 2, and 5-months. Completely exhausting. And it's extremely difficult to get anything done when I'm alone with them. Grocery shopping? Forget it. It takes 3 times as long and I'm about to sell one of them by the time I get home. So needless to say, I live for the weekends.
I knew DH had a cub scout meeting this morning, so I'm thinking, "Okay, he'll be gone from 9-10ish, and then we can go out and get things done as soon as he comes back." I even tell him all of the things that need to get done. So, TEN MINUTES before he has to leave, he informs me that this is a training meeting, and he won't be back until lunch time. WTH????? :cursing: AND this 10 minutes includes him taking a shower, so I had zero time to discuss this with him. So now I'm left home with 3 kids, a house that's a disaster, a to-do list that's a mile long, and no one to help me. AND I'VE BEEN ON MY OWN ALL WEEK. I tried to call several people to vent, but no one's home. So I had to get this off my chest.
So why did the communication gene get left out of men?
