yays and nays!
Jun. 1st, 2006 12:55 pmnay: dryer broke.
yay: while taking laundry to Mom's to dry, found Grandpa's old fedora. Very cool. Mom was looking to get rid of it. I told her I want to collect a few old hats - when hats were cool and not just baseball caps and sunhats. She says she might have a couple others.
nay: hubby broke a toy of our daughter's last night. This morning he left me a note saying how he felt like an idiot (nothing about feeling bad about breaking her toy) and how I could hate him forever (geee. Wonder where she gets her martyr thing from!?!?) I'm kind of pissed at the self-centered attitude of his response to breaking HER toy.
yay: I left him a voicemail and said he needed to call an apologize to HER. (he was more quiet than normal this morning... I can only assume so he wouldn't wake her. Coward) He finally called and apologized and she said "It's okay. I forgive you. I love you, Daddy." The kid is 5. I figure I'm doing something right if she already understands she should forgive him and not be mad about it (she was crying when I first told her what happened.)
nay: This all happened because he didn't turn on a light. This wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for the fact that it is an indicator of his laziness. He knew he was walking into her play room and yet he didn't bother because it would take that much extra effort. He is ALWAYS like this... breaking things, ruining things, etc because he can't take the slightest effort to make sure, pick up after himself, that kind of thing. He wants to do everything the easy way which so often ends up being the hard way because it's not the right way so then you end up fixing the thing you ruined with your first thing and so on... if you have any clue what I mean.
Of course, when it's his stuff, it's a much bigger deal. He'll get totally bent out of shape even though his part in it is that he has left something in the middle of the floor or an important document right next to the sink... I'm just tired of his selfish behaviour and laziness. Not sure I can take it anymore.
