I wont give out names. But a family member came to me today and decided to have a "sit down" talk with me about how I treat my husband.
Fuck that. She told me I treat him poorly.
And that the rest of the family feels the same way.
Now. Normally I would sit quietly, allow that person to say their piece and move on, today, I didnt want to do that.
Allow me to explain something to all the fuck ups out there who think their husbands sole duty is to work, bring home the bacon, recline in the lazy boy and watch a game.
What the fuck is wrong with you? You think that because my husband KNOWS that shit doesnt fly in our family makes him a better father. You are damn right. Wanna know why he KNOWS that shit doesnt fly? Because I fucking told him so. That's why.
Just because you were raised in a family with no paternal figure, or a shitty paternal figure who refused to participate in the actual RAISING of your family, doesnt mean that my husband is any better or worse. My husband simply understands that in our tiny world, there are standards. Anything less than those standards, no more wife. If I wanted to raise my kids by my damn self, then I would. Without a husband. I dont need a third child to pick up after, feed and clothe. No thanks. Not me.
Which is why my husband rocks. We reached an agreement early on about what we wanted from this life, and we roll with it. Together. If I actually told him what went down today, he would be highly pissed off. Not at me. At the family member who approached me and decided it would be a good idea to make me feel like shit by explaining how my entire busybody southern family is talkin' trash. Since I dont allow my husband to sit around watching tv and eating cheese fries, I must be such a MEAN BITCHY WIFE! AHHHHHH! Poor husband!!
SO. My family, who were largely single parents, are raising kids that ARENT theirs, and generally dont normally have great family lives, decided that I TREAT MY HUSBAND POORLY??? Not jiving. My husband and I are both active participants in what our children are doing, we play with our kids, we both clean, we both work. We DONT need a pat on the back. Because what we do in our daily lives is what every parent SHOULD be doing. Just because others have poor examples doesnt mean anybody needs a pat on the back.
After all, we're just doing our jobs. ;)
