I was late to the school pick-up line aka on time. I had a panic attack, but how did my kids react? Not like I was expecting at all.
My husband was doing the dishes this morning despite his PTSD from when he was punished as a child (check out previous episode) and I am so proud of him.
Then we discuss are you an opener a closer or both when it comes to the kitchen?
We also discuss how neither of us is the boss over the other but has that lead us to being lackadaisical when it comes to chores?
We discuss how much we hate adulting – who said being an adult means cleaning all of the time and doing projects? (This is turning into an ongoing theme, maybe one day we’ll do something about it).
My husband says we are lazy, I say we are prioritizing down time instead of cleaning aka doing the bare minimum to survive. I discuss why my ADHD is a hindrance when it comes to cleaning the house.
Then we get the wheel out and the question causes me to be fully honest about something I have hidden from my husband in the past. We also rehash one of the worst nights of my life – our bachelor/bachelorette parties and the strip club scam. Then my husband tells me how he knows when I am lying but reveals he never lies except when I ask him this over the phone. Plus we discuss how project timelines are meaningless for my husband because he thinks everything will be done “in a day” but it never is.
Then of course we get back on the subject of cleaning but my husband says something that made me so happy, then, in the next breath, pissed me off when he tried to joke about my cooking. And we close it out discussing farts and what would cause a divorce if we did THIS to one another.
