Threw away SS's stuffed toys

Ok, so DH leaves these stuffed toys laying in the kitchen for a whole week. I think he found them in the garage and he put them in the kitchen, supposedly, with the intention of them making their way into SS's room? Well, that didn't happen. As usual, he left the mess for me to clean up. So clean it up I did. All of it went into the trash.

The way I look at it: If DH

The way I look at it: If DH isn't going to make sure his kids clean up after themselves and HE doesn't do it for them -- then it appears as though DH's assumption is that I am going to be the maid and do the cleaning for them.

Well, I throw things out when they've been left laying around -- ESPECIALLY if they've been left laying around with the "assumption" that I am just going to come along and clean up after everyone.

Because I have a vagina, that's my job, right? :sick:

Yeah, no.

I am not the maid.

I wonder how much longer it is going to take DH to figure this out?

So far, I've thrown away:

- a pair of soccer shinguards
- a basketball
- some clothing
- 2 stuffed toys

I wonder if DH leaves this stuff laying around because he wants those visual reminders that his children have been here? Or because he wants to try to make our home look like kids belong here?

I don't know. Whatever.

I do know that I make my own kid clean up after himself when he comes to visit and when it's time for him to go back to his dads house. I am not even my own kids maid -- I don't know why my DH would think I would play maid to him and his spawn.

Idiot.

Seriously, this is one of my BIGGEST pet peeves.

I. Am. Not. The. Maid.

The person who forces me into the role, gets their sh*t thrown in the trash.

Will you bring your vagina

Will you bring your vagina over to my house? I could use a maid, I'm tired.

HAHAHAHAAA!!!!! Oh man... I

HAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

Oh man... I could say so much, however I have a feeling that all of the different directions we could take this joke into would get us all booted off of the site.

Just know that I am DYING to ask if YOU or your "cleaning anatomy" is tired...

Suffice it say, I hope you get a nice long nap.

In all seriousness, I am sooooo over the old ass gender role stereotypes. I am NOT automatically a babysitter, nor do I love ALL children, and I especially am NOT automatically the cook and the maid simply because I have a vagina!!

I want to scream it from a mountaintop! For real!!!

When will men catch up to this fact???

What's funny in my situation

What's funny in my situation is, my DH is fine with housework. He does the laundry most of the time 'cuz he knows I hate it. He does most of the cooking. I do most of the "real" cleaning but he is not allergic to cleaning.

But when SD was young, it bugged her to no end (I mean really pissed her off) that DH did these things because she thought it was the woman's job.

SD is now 21, married to one of the laziest people on the planet, and they have 2 kids. He does NOTHING. SD now tells DH she wishes she had a relationship like us. Ha! Yeah, I'll bet you do. I don't feel bad for her because not only does she not work a job, she is just as lazy as her husband.

Duuuude, this would push me

Duuuude, this would push me over the cliff. I am not kidding.

I have 12,000 other things that I would RATHER do, and I will CHOOSE to do, than watch a child that someone else is supposed to be watching.

If reading "Stepmonster" did anything for me -- it helped me to put my feelings about children into perspective. I am not the child hating ogre that my husband has turned me into. He and I have a different perspective on the role that children have in the family. My husband is ALL ABOUT the children. Thus, he is completely and totally 100% child-centric. I, on the other hand, believe that children are important and should be valued, however, I do NOT feel that the entire frickin' world should revolve around them. I have a life too, you know?

Thus, when people allude to the fact that I should love all children -- because I am a woman you know -- I tell them that I don't live a child-centric lifestyle and I don't have child-centric views on how children should be raised.

Let them figure out what that all means. I FINALLY feel at peace with myself.

Huge pet peeve for me too. I

Huge pet peeve for me too. I have started throwing out everything that doesn't get put away/cleaned up after 2-3 days of me asking about it.

It may be sort of evil, but i secretly LOVE throwing away that crap. It gives me a really good feeling. }:)

I love it too!!!! Hell yeah!

I love it too!!!! Hell yeah! I slam dunk that crap into the garbage can! }:) }:)

I throw shit away all the

I throw shit away all the time.

Heck I throw away my own

Heck I throw away my own son's stuff. He's got two warnings to pick it up, the third time I have to say anything about it's while I'm walking to the trash can with it.

One time he was brave enough to try to get it from the trash after I threw it away, it was not pretty and he still tells his friends about that "one time when my mom went crazy". Stepping on legso one too many times does that to a woman. There's only so much you can take.

I do the same thing. When I

I do the same thing. When I tell them to go clean their bedrooms (bio's and step), I come in to "inspect" when they are done with a trash bag. If its still on the floor it goes in the bag. My kids have gotten REALLY good at cleaning bedrooms!

HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!! "The one

HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!

"The one time my mom went crazy..."

I bet all of our children have a story they can tell that starts with those fateful seven words. I know my son can.

I would be the neighbor

I would be the neighbor standing on my front lawn loudly applauding and giving you the football fist pump and "WHOO! WHOO! WHOO!"

Nice!!!

Both STBDH and SD12 do this

Both STBDH and SD12 do this crap all the time here. I have thrown countless numbers of tupperware out because STBDH refuses to clean them. I cook, do all the other dishes, laundry, basically all the house work so he can do that one tiny little thing. I throw away toys, papers, all kinds of crap around here. The thing is they don't even notice it is missing or gone. It is just laziness, but I make a point that they know I am not their maid. SD12 will be here two weeks, one week all ready, and she still has not cleaned her room. She is waiting for daddy to do it for her. I won't touch the thing. Found one too many used personal products in there that you need a hazmat suit to go in her room. :sick:
