Throwing A Fit

I'm a brat.

On Monday, within 5 minutes of walking in the door from work, I looked around my messy house, and was ticked. M. is off on Mondays, and had obviously done no chores while I was at work. Miss O. ran up to me, and said, "Grandma brought me tomatoes". Glancing at her, I noticed that she was still wearing her pajamas.

"Where did you see Grandma?", I inquired.

"She came here.", was Miss O.'s innocent reply.

Are you kidding me?

I barely get along with my in-laws. I sure don't want them showing up unannounced at my home. Especially when I'm NOT there. Don't get me wrong, they're nice enough, but I always feel like I'm being judged, you know?

I lost it. Yelling and crying. Screaming and stomping my feet.

Sadly, I don't even have any excuse, as we're in the middle of a non-medicated cycle. Poor M. took the brunt of it, just staring at me. Finally, as I start to settle down, he looks at me and says, "I wasn't going to tell you, but they're watching Miss O. all night on Saturday so that we can go out and have some fun."

Yup, I'm a brat.

  1. That's so something I would do: Come in and lose it on my husband, only to find out that he's been planning something really sweet. Always blows up in my face.

    I think you're entitled though: I always chalk it up that I didn't know, but his doing that doesn't excuse what he didn't do.

    Does that make sense?

  3. You know what? I would've done the same thing. It ticks me off to no end that my husband doesn't do JACK SQUAT except the computer, TV, or XBOX when he is home. Hormonal or not, I don't think you were entirely out of line.
