I agree, and that is why he's not getting any response from me. Here is what happened.. I'll try to keep it short.
We have a predator problem - coons and possums. Coons, mostly.
They are trap wise, so live traps have sporatically worked.
We work full time, so staying up all night and hunting them isn't an option.
I haven't found a livestock guardian dog yet.
So I was toying with using snares. Did the research .. lots of research .. and then ordered some last week. Got them Saturday.
He scoffed.
I went out and found potential snare sights at the edge of the woods and set 4 snares. He wanted to go see them. He scoffed.
First night, didn't catch anything, but could tell they had been "hit" ..
So I tweeked them a little last night and this morning I had snared me a big ol' possum !!
I was so excited. I called DH to tell him and he TOTALLY crushed my high. "Oh, it wasn't a coon though. We can't go around snaring all the little animals in the forest. I don't like the idea of having these snares set (yet he wants to use a conibear??) .. bla bla bla" ... Now, part of me was knowing that he was just jealous because he poo poo'd the idea and then I caught something on the second night .. but it just plain hurt.
I was very short with him, hung up (turned my phone off) and cried.
Everyone at work is excited for me (which I'll tell him tonight).
And I'll not mention the snares again .. will check them in the morning and dispatch anything I catch before work and he'll just be left out ..
Freakin' party pooper...
Am I a baby or what??
You are NOT a baby, boys are just mean!!!! I don't care how old they are, deep down they are just rotten little boys. I am very happy for you. I am married to a man that always looks at the negative too. Always the down side.
Ignore him. Don't let him take it away from you!!
that is sooo hard for me. One of my top love languages is affirmation .. All I needed was to hear that he was proud of me .. or a "way to go" .. I can't even get excited about setting another snare .. maybe it's something in me.. I don't know.
I'll just come here and to my dad for affirmation ....
Thank ya'll .. I love ya'll!
I'll just go buy Taylor Swift's new song:
"Why ya gotta be so ... MEAN?"
lol
