Re: My DH is making me nuts today!

[Guest guest]

Hugs Liz, some days are worse than others! I think us Mommies can't ever " turn

off " being a Mommy so when we are trying to hand over the responsibilities to

Daddy, we can't fully hand it over if we're still in the same room or still at

home. If we can hear them, our Mommy hat is still on! LOL! I think the only

time we truly can shut off the Mommy switch and give it over to someone else is

when they are at school or physically separated from us. I know that if I'm

home and I request a little assistance, I have to know that Daddy is going to

definitely do things quite a bit different than I do. NOT that I'm perfect in

anyway but of course, I think my way is best! LOL! Take a deep breath, cook

some more (couldn't resist!) and know that it could be ALOT worse! I try to

remember that when I'm losing it - this could be worse...

I don't know if this helped you at all but I can definitely empathize with

you. I think most of us have experienced similar feelings! Marriage,

parenting,and life are all a lot of hard work. But the days that it's good,

it's REAL GOOD. But unfortunately those are the days we forget so fast! Hang

in there and know that you are a great Mommy, a wonderful wife, a huge help to

the kids you are working with and a heck of an entrepreneur too- quite the

business savvy lady!

Tomorrow's Monday, they have school!!!!!!!

Take care,

Jayne

When Tori calls Daddy, it takes him a hell of a long time to respond to her.

Therefore, she is consistently calling him, awaiting a response. I have told him

many a times, if you answer her right away, she will stop.

Today, as usual for a Sunday in our house, Tori & I were up around 8 and dad

slept until Noon! I had already done 5 loads of laundry, fed her, entertained

her, vacuumed and then cooked a nice brunch. Tori & I went to a Holiday Party

with our local Autism group around 4 p.m. and got home about 6:15 p.m. I walk in

and he asks if I could cook him something for dinner. Hello-ever heard of left

overs??? Ok, so I cook him up something quick and I am then in the midst of

doing something (another load of laundry), she is not behaving, I ask him to

intervene and " He Calls Her..like she is going to drop what she is doing and run

to him! "

I understand totally that the man commutes 200 miles a day-5 days a week-and

works with a bunch of a**es. But I work 16.25 hours out of the house, and work

72 hours a day at home, as well as try to keep my sanity. Maybe is part of

menopause. I don't know. I just felt I needed to let this out before I lose it

totally!

Thanks for listening!

I can see why you are upset. You let him sleep until noon? I am

very fortunate, since I have a great husband who helps a lot with

our son. He never sleeps until noon on the weekend, but if he did

I'd find a way to wake him up. It sounds like he needs some cooking

lessons too (or maybe just a little get up & go attitude shift)!

Our son is 14 and got his autism diagnosis at age 9. From what

little I've seen already, I feel very lucky. He is not on any

meds. I can take him to stores, restaurants, etc. Sometimes we

have a bad episode, but it is rare.

I,too, can see why you would be upset. I have also lucked out and have

a DH that is very helpful where he can be. He's the step-father so,

he's totally knew to alot of the events we have going on with Landon.

Landon is 15 and got his dual dx at 13 1/2. My DH has no children of

his own so this has been a big learning experience for him but he's

been a trooper through the whole thing and loves to interract with

Landon. The only thing he's got an issue with is the diapers, he's not

really good with that yet, but he's doing well. He wakes up and 4am

everyday including weekends and if Landon is up or gets up before I do

he does everything and let's me get up on my own.

As far as what Landon can do and not do, he doesn't take any meds

except his new seizure meds, but I can't take him to stores or

restaurants, he doesn't like large crowds of people.

Let's all vent!!

My DH suddenly can't understand anything that Elie says - Elie is soooo

patient and repeats what he is saying again and again - then the DH gets

upseet and starts yelling. Yes, his heariing is going, but so is his

concentration. ANd I am NOT talking about Elie.

Then there is my dog - still a puppy of 9 months. DH doesn't like her. he

refuses to learn her commands, jusst yells at her. SHe jumps on him and he

throws his hands up and says " Its your dog - I don't wnaat anything to do

with her. " . I reminded him (cause I was soooo p.o'd that that was his

reaction to all his kids requests as well)

I am really thinking about getting a job just so I don't have to be home

with him. I love being retired and have lots of things I want to do. So

does he, but he mutters constantly and acts like he has a big committee

meeting when he has all the time in the world and no pressure to finish

anything on a set time schedule.

i am sure that some of elie's behaviors recently are in reaction to his

father's non-existant patience. And I am soooo saintly that I can handle

everything and do it better.

Yes, I am definitely in line for a halo or a crown. But at this rate, I

will end up with both andalso end up a single parent with a murder

conviction!!!

many hugs!!! sound likes he needs a hobby, lol, I hate when

DH comes home from work all grouchy, i just yell at him to go back to work

or shut up, lol, he usually shuts up, lol. shawna

[Guest guest]

Venting sounds like a great idea!

My DH has very low tolerance for anything or anyone that puts demands on him.

Heaven knows his computer puzzles & games and movies are so much more important

than maybe playing a board game with Katelyn or reading to Janie. Katelyn

suggests (in front of him) that we need Super Nanny or Wife Swap to get him to

be more present. He would let 3 or 4 bags of garbage pile up in the kitchen

before he would take it out, has 2 big dressers full of clothes but will wear

one set of clothes until they fall off, whines when he gets the slightest

physical discomfort, etc.,etc., etc... I keep reminding myself about the good

things: he doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs. He doesn't chase around. I always

know exactly where he is and what he is doing. He likes the kids to have friends

over (well, Janie never does, but Katelyn does). He doesn't skip work and has a

strong work ethic away from home! But around here he does not seem able to

complete the jobs he starts. For example he changed our closet

2 years ago so he could have a locking door on his half. My side still has no

door and the trim never got put on. He just painted Katelyn's room and put in

new flooring but didn't paint her door yet. (I'll probably end up doing it).

When he put in Janie's new flooring he left gaps by her closet door. It has been

a week and there is no indication when he will get around to putting small

pieces in to complete the job and he still has not made the shelf for her t.v.

She needs a shelf high up so she can't toss the t.v. on the floor, where it now

sits for safety. He is a truck driver so he gets bored and calls me every half

hour or less all day long just to chat but doesn't seem to have a voice

face-to-face! Throws off my flow of activities. I hope he never retires because

I really do not need another kid with issues at home all the time!!! It feels

like I'm a single parent a lot of the time even when he is here. Been there,

done that, didn't want to do it again.

Whew! Feels good to let that go... Lets all have a good day.

Elie has a little 13 " tv on his dresser which I guess he could toss if he

wanted to. NEver thought about him doing that. But the TV in my office - a

24 " is on a attached to the wall high up rack with straps and a shelf

underneath for DVD/VCR. I was afraid he might put a foot through it or

throw something at it.

The one in the main room of the house is in a cabinet and is too heavy for

him to move and too high up to kick . He could still thorw something at it.

Guess I am glad I never thought of that!

Janie dumped hers off the dresser about 3 times. She hasn't tried the

big one in the LR, but has tossed the microwave and big

toaster/convection oven a few times. She is fast! I once tried to

catch the flying micro and ended up with a sprained finger...

OMG! My nephew, who is 13 and 6'4.5 " now tossed my sister's 27 " tv off the

stand. When he was about 2, he would stand and watch the TV with his one hand

on the side of it, and one day he decided to pull it and down it went. Well, it

was then chained to the wall.

Janie dumped hers off the dresser about 3 times. She hasn't tried the

big one in the LR, but has tossed the microwave and big

toaster/convection oven a few times. She is fast! I once tried to

catch the flying micro and ended up with a sprained finger...

P.

And I thought all this time was the only destructive one!!

Recently, this small tv I have had for 15 plus years, she knocked off

the very low bookshelf we moved in her room. Broke the tv. We need a

low bookshelf since she climbs, if she falls, its not that far to the

ground.
