The Coat

I am just irratated beyond belief right now.

So this evening I decided to buy my BD a winter coat that she is much in need of becuase her coat is to small. She has had it since kindergarten. (She doesn't grow that fast.) What does DH say? I don't understand why you're buying her a new winter coat when she is only going to wear it for a month. Really DH? Last time I checked we live in the mid west and it's mid January. I have seen it snow in April for the last three years and it's been in the single didgets lately. The only reason why she didn't get a new coat months ago when DH's mother bought both of his kids coats and offered to buy my BD's is because DH put the coat on her while I was at work and thought it fit just fine. Really? If she sticks her arms out to her sides the ends of the sleeves come up to her mid fore arm. It's to freaking small. Why is it that his kids get new coats every year but when I need to buy my BD a new coat because her's is to small it's why are you doing that becuase apparently in February she won't need it anymore. It's BS. She needs a freaking winter coat that fits her.

And guess where he is at the moment after a hard days work and then coming home an playing his video game which has been happening more and more recently? Passed out on the couch instead of spending time with his wife because apparenty playing video games takes a lot out of you and everybody needs nine hours of sleep right? I'm taking the video game and hiding it. Let's see how fun the nintendo is when you don't have a game. Yeah, I'm a b!tch like that.

I buy both the boys a winter coat every year. I also buy it one size bigger provided it doesn't swallow them or make them look stupid. I also buy them new hats, gloves and scarves as soon as it gets cold.

Here lately I have been spending more on our son than I do on his son. If DH notices...he doesn't say anything and he better not....

As for the video games...I hide the video game stuff all the time. It's funny because I always say "I never touch that thing so it's whatever YOU did with it." Hahahahahaha

My fiancé's parents bought both of my step-sons their winter coats/boots/hats/gloves/etc this year.

I had to go back to the store and buy both of them more gloves, considering the ones they bought them are so big their hands disappear in them, but apparently that's "alright". We also have to go back and buy the smallest one new boats, since they bought the most difficult boots EVER to put on and he's only 1 & 1/2 so he can't exactly understand that he has to push his foot in to help. It takes almost 20 minutes to put them on properly, so I told my fiancé that since we are moving in together, he better buy him new boots so that I can actually take them out, and not have to struggle for 20 minutes each day over boots.

And their hats are too big and cover their eyes...

I've started to wonder if his parents even actually tried them on them, or if they just picked them up and bought them..

I'd walk away from an arguement like that. Your DH is just being stupid and it's not worth your timw. We as parents have a responsibility to cloth, feed and house our kids and if he cannot see that then he's a dip shit. I have hidden games for 20+ years first from ex h and now ss and bs's. There are times when chores need to get done and this mama gets sick and tired of hearing kids on games. It's bad enough having the tv on and computers.

I hate how men think it's ok to work all day and then come home and do nothing. Us moms work all day too and come home and cook, homework, dishes, etc and then go to bed. What the heck would happen if we came home and sat and played video games all evening. I'd like to actually try that sometime just to see my DH's reaction!!!!!

You should have reminded him that NOW is the BEST time to buy a winter coat, beacuse they are all on sale. I ALWAYS buy BS3 his winter coats for next year now because I can get them so cheap. I just got him a 60.00 coat from the Children's Place for 19.00. And DH actually bought him a 4T coat back when he was just 1 year old because it was so cheap in an after season sale. So now he already has his two coats for next year and we only paid like $30.00 bucks for both of them. What a dick wad your DH is.

apparantly drooling in front of video games for hours, has killed the majority of her DH brain cells

I just don't get him. Last time I checked winter officially started December 21st and if I do my math correctly it's been less then a month and according to what I learned in elementary school there are three months in each season so that leaves over two months left of winter so where he got one month from last night, I have no clue.

Whatever. I'm over it. I just left him sleeping on the couch last night. He made me stop doing house work around 8 because he wanted to spend time with me last night and then just passed out. I really don't see the point of that and now he's texting me telling me that he knows he's in the dog house and asking what his punishment is for passing out on me and what he can do tonight to make it up. Frankly I really don't care. I have errands to run after I get off of work and he won't be playing his video game for quite some time. I hid it in a spot he wouldn't even think to look.

If he's anything like my DH, all I'd have to do it hide it in the cabinet containing cleaning supplies, near the vacuum, or in the washer/dryer and I can be assured he'd NEVER find it.

You know what I'd tell him if he said this to me? "I'm buying MY daughter a coat, period, dot, end of discussion. Go play your video games now".

I can't believe he's arguing with you over a WINTER COAT FOR YOUR CHILD. It's a necessity, not a damn luxury. Wow. Just fffing wow. This pisses me off for you!

I wouldn't say that he was arguing with me about more of just questioning my judgement of buying her a coat when, according to him, she will only be wearing it for one month. I was floored by his reaction and I did try and explain to him that it will be longer then a month and her winter coat that she has now is to small.

Well the bottom line is that she is getting a coat. It's winter and the one that she's been wearing since she was in kindergaten is to small. If he doesn't like it or doesn't find it neccessary then that's his choice. It makes not difference in regards to what I plan on doing.
