I'm with you. I'm in no way a doormat, but there are some things I just figure you cope with occasionally. I don't think Rich has ever forgotten to tell me that someone was coming to dinner, but then, I wouldn't really keep track anyway. It wouldn't throw me that much, both because if he forgot, I think I'm big enough to forgive him, and because he would be home helping me tackle it, at least with some ideas if not actual cooking labor. It seems to me a lot of people think that someone's slip up is an indication that they disrespect the other. They aren't necessarily equivalent, but I think that's what a lot of the 50-50 arrangements in marriage produce, I do this, so you do that, and you'd better not do this or I'll do that. We just do what needs to be done and are both pretty appreciative of the other's work.
Stepping Up to the Plate 3524It was just a little showboating, which seemed to be called for at the time. Not that there's anything tough involved. I'm not...
Also, I think there are times that Rich comes home from work, maybe thinking that he will have me and the kids to himself and a friend of mine is there, doesn't faze him. We like our home to be a place people can come to and we don't freak out about it too much, even if it isn't as clean as we'd like.
Regards, Ranee
