Husband Clothes

Husband Meanness of the Day:

After my husband got out of bed at 12pm, he helped me until Niko (our 2.5 year old) took his nap. My husband also napped. Till 5. But then he helped me all night. Granted, he acted irritably and babyish the whole time, but I was happy to have the help, as I have 15 pages to write by tomorrow. Why am I writing the blog right now? Anyway, now it’s 10pm, and my husband just came in our room and tried to get in bed.

Excuse me, our bed is my desk (very small apt, very small bedroom, I have to put papers on my bed while I work and pretend the bed is a desk. It’s distracting, but I have no choice.). No, he can not get in bed. You may think that sounds mean. But I don’t have free time during the day to work–then I am watching our children. It would reduce a great deal of stress if I could work during the day, but it’s not possible. So, I HAVE to work at night, or I will lose my job.

I can’t work with my papers spread out on my bed–desk while my husband is also rolling around on my bed–desk. And, if you could HEAR him when he sleeps, you would understand that it will be far too loud in here to work. Solution? Sleep on the couch for a while or go to bed at 3am like he usually does–on the days, of course, when I want to sleep at 10pm..

Of course, if I were the one who needed sleep, and he needed to use the “desk” for work, I would happily sleep on the couch so he could work away. Can HE sleep on the couch? Oh nooooooo. It’s too uncomfortable. When I told him he couldn’t get into the bed, because I need to look at my papers (lying on the bed, my desk) as I work. Husband freaks out and stomps off into another room. SUCH A BABY.

Thank goodness I work full-time (just from home). Thank goodness I make plenty of money to support our family during dry spells.

My husband’s contract expires in 2 weeks. He has applied for several new contracts (this is good). He wants to use a new software and is trying to get a contract that will involve it. He could snag a job in 2 days if he would just use the other softwares he knows. But oh noooo, he doesn’t want to “give in” and “accept just any contract.”

Um, hu? Give in? To an actual job offer? Interesting concept.

No honey, don’t you dare give in to a job offer. It really is much more important for you to use that software than to have a JOB. Hey, use the software at home if you want–just make sure that you don’t take a job unless you get to name the terms. No problem–we actually don’t really need things like food or an apartment–but you DO need to use this software, and not the other softwares you know.

That’s all. I need to go work now–somebody around here has to be willing to just “give in” and take the work we get. By the way, are all husbands this picky? Don’t most guys just take contracts if they are offered one?
