The funny to the ridicules: What happens when you leave a man home alone for a month.

I returned from my month long work trip last Thursday. This is a compilation of some of the things that totally pissed me off and some that I found really funny.

Before I left SO and I talk about, planned and agreed on him going on vacation with his parents the week I returned for 3 days. The very first day I was gone, I get an text that he has decided to take SD with him. Ok, I wasn't too happy about it because this used to be his and my vacation and I just keep getting pushed more and more to the side.

Well, I just said ok and left it alone. First day of class and I was already stressed. Well come to find out he changed his entire plan. He is now on a 7 day vacation with both kids because he decided to work around BM's schedule. Didn't once call and speak to me about. Just coordinated with BM. HUGE fight because of this. So three days after I return from a month away, he left for vacation. A vacation that used to be just he and I.

Not long after that, he begins texting me asking if he can let SD wear one of my dive shirts. Again, I don't like it but I say yes. Just one and if she ruins it, he has to replace it. Well, he keeps texting me about my shirts. The sizes the colors. How some still have tags on them. I finally start to get really pissed and say "Choose one shirt and then please stay out of my closet. I don't have many nice clothes left" (which is not SD's fault but still true)

He gets nasty with me saying "I'm not raiding your closet, just trying to find something to fit SD"....Hello, that's the very definition of raiding my closet.

He again text me that he is taking Skids school clothes shopping. Then starts asking me about what size sports bra SD11 would wear. I tell him not to buy her bra's. I just spent almost $100 on bra's for her. She doesn’t need them. The poor guy is trying to buy her one to go under her bathing suit. I have no clue where he got that idea.

I told SO since he was doubling his vacation time and he will be with both kids now (that changed to), that I wanted a kid free weekend my first weekend back. At first he was ok with it.

Then he tells me "Kids asked why you wanted a weekend without them...They miss you. It really hurt their feelings. What am I supposed to say to them.

I just ignored this attempt at guilt. How about tell them the truth. I needed to get laid about being gone for a month and didn't want to spend my first weekend home being a maid and cook.

Soooo long month over. I finally make it home.

I find a HUGE plastic bucket in the cabinet. It has butter and pieces of popcorn stuck all over it. I ask "What's this" Turns out SO took Skids to a movie and got this gallon+ sized container. Ok cool. Why didn't you wash it....Duh, because we are just going to put more popcorn in it next time we go to the movies. So, I guess if you are going to use a dish/container for the same exact food item next time you use it, it doesn't need to be washed. LOL

He saved ALL the mail. Didn't open anything. Didn't throw away any junk mail.

If you have followed any of my posts, you know SO and I fight a lot about groceries. He thinks they are cheaper than they really are and gives me shit about the amount I spend ALL the time.

SO: I'm so glad you are back. I never want to go grocery shopping again. I don't know what I'm doing and everything is so expensive.

Wish I could have recorded that.

Dogs covered in mats. Didn't cut the mats off or brush them once. Hey, at least he feed and watered them.

Didn't buy SS any school clothes because "SS9 didn't feel like it" LOL ok

Told me over and over how hard taking care of "everything" was. Hello, I know this. Who do you think was doing everything all this time.

Good thing I wasn't gone longer. Phew

Sounds EXACTLY like my DP.
Love him, but jeez.

And this: "Told me over and over how hard taking care of 'everything' was."
Yep, I hear that line in a variation of this version after he's spent about 2 days in a row with them, while I am working (and coming home at night mind you), "I just can't DO IT ALL, I am so tired! Too tired!"

DUH - maybe because they have no schedule, no rules, no chores? Hmmmmmmmm?

:?
