DH getting on my nerves or vice versa
Little vent about the past week,
Sd needed "help" with math homework, and DH is super hero savior to princess SD12 so after 2 hours of his lecturing and giving her what I thought were examples... tears and temper tantrum ensue, and he asks me for help because he can't figure out why she's crying, I find out that what I thought were examples were really her homework problems, and he's been doing them for her, and I bust out laughing... Duh, she's crying because you stopped doing her homework for her. I told him she should do it on her own, and maybe the last problems wouldn't be so hard... SD heard me, and in a in a rage erased everything, then refused to do it at all. Next day happy as can be, she said she did all the problems by herself before school and got them all correct.
Oh yes, and DH has been crabbing about my refusal to cook while SD is here, he keeps saying he feels unappreciated and he doesn't know if he should cook for me... I will cook for myself, my kids, even him, but not for SD. If he wants a family meal he can cook when she's here. And really, I wouldn't mind cooking for everyone, if he could get his golden nut dropping to be respectful. He whines again and I'm going to really start a fight, and say some true things that I know will send him into a defensive rage, and his princess crying to her room. This is completely his problem, not mine.

I'm expecting this as this is going into my second week of not cooking when SDs are with us. Basically, he's saying exactly what you feel and likely have told him before!
DP gets so overwhelmed when cooking for all of us, why? Because he tries to cater to everyone rather than making ONE good meal that most will like and if someone doesn't want it, they can feel free to make their own (i.e. SD12). I need to stay out of it and let him learn it.
Tonight I don't have to worry about food or anything, tomorrow I am "working late" because I refuse to be alone in the house right now with SD12 due to her attitude - I don't want to talk with her...I'm a little concerned about the weekend when DP generally slacks on the cooking. I think we have friends coming over on Saturday so I'll cook ONE thing for everyone and then Sunday DP can take over again. It's been really nice not having to worry about what food we have on hand for the SDs or making lunches, or breakfasts, or dinners.... }:)
