Your first image was right. It's just that I was VERY precocious and she robbed the cradle. I was an innocent 12-year-old in the backwoods of Kentucky where she found me and took advantage of me, tricking me into marrying an old woman in her twenties i. e., she was then what is now known as a "cougar".

Funny thing - I would never consider the word innocent to describe you ... just sayin' ...

Well, chickenfanatic, that makes at least two of us here. Except for that part about loving to clean house. I do it, but there is no love there. Now eating bon bons and watching Sponge Bob all day? That is LOVE!

But I don't think I deserve $138K for my half-hearted house keeping. Probably only $125/yr!

I said my husband can be a lazy pos. I did NOT say that I hate his guts because he's not worth the oxygen he's breathing. I have a great relationship with off days. Doesn't everyone? Maybe the view is different from your side of the fence because you're hubby is not there everyday. I know several military wives that think their DH is perfect... if they only knew.

Yup....what she said.

My hubby IS perfect. He was somewhat less perfect when we lived in the same house. The 3 years we have lived apart has improved his status with me considerably.

When we are, once again, in the same house, there will be times (many times) I want to throttle him. I KNOW he feels the same. Come on people, this really was a fun, lady gripe thread. I doubt any of these same women would complain if their hubby did the same.

Good morning,

Well, I could actually tell you stories that would make your toes curl.

And if you knew my story your heart would break and you'd find pity on me.

But pity isn't what I need.

I've got a "mustard seed" of hope and the Gospel tells me that's all I need.

For God can move move mountains and He knows when a sparrow falls in the forest so how much greater are we?

I've got to hold on to something ladies and gents.

When Paul was imprisoned in a dirty unkempt cell full of the unimaginable for years he still sang praises to the Lord.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

I've spilled the beans to my mom and my sister in law and a portion to my Pastor for emotional support. I'm not completely alone in this but sometimes the hurt in my heart is like a thousand pound weight bearing down on me and I'm good most of the time but when I put my children to bed...

That's when my mind floods and memories of the good and LOTS of the bad come rushing in like a broken down dam.

And no one is around to talk to in the middle of the night...well, except some of you crazy chicken keepers.

me,
g

I am sorry. Sometimes life just hurts. Sometimes it hurts a LOT. I do hope things look up for you soon. Obviously I don't know your story, but I DO know the lonliness. I know the pain of tucking the kids in by yourself AGAIN...day after day, week after week, year after year. I know the pain of holding a child while he cries all night becasue Dad had to leave again. Then going to bed and squishing a pillow against your back so you don't feel quite so alone in the bed. But I also know that life is fun and good and happy. I hope that today sends you some serious happiness.

I hope my wife doesn't think some of these things about me!!

Well I see where many of you are coming from-I am on version 2.0, and 1.0 was awful. I do have to say that I feel so lucky to be a SAHM. I am not a perfect housekeeper, ect., and I do thank my dh for slaving away so that I can be the one to raise our dd. I think it's a ton of work to be at home, but I'm lucky to have a dh that is helpful when he is home. Version 1.0 was not-I totally know what that feels like. So, I hope some of you are getting the help you deserve after work and on the weekends. We certainly should not have all the responsibility of running the house and raising children.

Hon, we don't pick at them because we hate them. Its a playful kind o' picking or we'd dump them! My hubby is the king of procrastinators. But he has his good points. Sometimes its just good to vent about what I can't say to him personally. I learned long ago that if you complain to their face you will get less help! You just have to learn the balance method.

Complain enough to get your point across but not to the point where you can be called a nagging wife! But the only perfect person that ever walked this earth is waiting to bring us home so we can be with Him! To a house with many rooms!
