Why is this only an issue of the husband not understanding the wife? The other way around occurs just as often! My significant other loved playing the game I call “Guess what I am thinking?”. It would always send me into high anxiety…and then fast forward me into anger. It felt like it really didn’t matter what I my actions or responses were, the result would always be a little wrong, a lot wrong or totally wrong. The aftermath would be an argument and a period of not talking (thus completing the “communication cycle”)

Humans still haven’t developed any useful ability to read minds. Why on earth do we still attempt to express our needs in “code” and expect the perfect operational response?

I had my friends kids over in December so I bought chocolate teddy grahams for them, and they declared they didn’t like the chocolate ones – what the what?! The are so flipping good!

I once worked with an attorney who had one child, a wife who stayed home AND had a nanny and housekeeper and he came in one day saying he was so tired because being a “Dad” was tough.

I was a single Mom then and told him what it was like to be one – it was always my turn – to feed, to clothe, to bathe, to read bed time stories, to drive to day care, to pick up from day care, etc. I could go on, but he never complained after that! 😀

Enjoy your day off with Shea!

Hahaha, my husband knows that “whatever” means I’m not happy! And he is guilty of using “whatever,” as well. I’m trying to be better about it.

Men with any woman for more than 6 months should know “whatever” is code for “mama ain’t happy, initiate operation ‘what can I do?'” LOL

Oh and the moment the last Teddy Graham was inhaled should’ve been a cue to get thee to the store for immediate replacement. You don’t mess with baby’s distraction, yo!
