4 kids?

Do you ever feel like you have a very large child? Sometimes I feel like I have 4 kids instead of just 3.
AnonHim is a great dad, but I hate always being the one to say - OK, it's bath time! or No, you can't have xyz.

I hate always being the one to get up at dinner for the crying baby. Unless I specifically ask AnonHim to do it, he won't. Maybe I should just ask more, but I don't think I should always have to.

I hate that he never cleans off the high chair tray too. I hate that job in particular.

Petty Vent over.

He really is a great dad, everybody has annoying little things. Me? I never remember to put new toilet paper on the roll. Drives him batty.

A lot of Torsten's friends are like this... the mom does the disciplining and the dad gets to be the fun one. I'm hoping it does not turn out like that with us.

My husband is the same way. He doesn't remember/want to do any of the daily drudgery. He wants to play. He forgets snack times, diaper changes and baths. I have to remind him that caring for a child involves more than tummy zerberts and hanging upside down.

I swear, it's JUST like having two kids.

I just had this conversation with my mom last night, "Do they ever start helping?".

We are in year two of marriage and I am just now learning that I am going to have to ask for help if I want/need it...and this may never change.

I like the darkness. Like, it is a place for secrets and *gasp* swear words?

I never even imagined you were that kinda girl. I figured you for all sweetness and light, you know? Glad to see your human side peeping out. I appreciate the invite!

Misty - I hardly ever use swear words in real life. Never the F word. EVER! It took a lot for me to write it here. lol
It probably won't happen often.

Oh, I know! My husband does OK with observing bedtimes and not allowing too many snacks and other things. But I have to ask him to help with much of anything. It's gotten better as my son has gotten older though.

And the high chair, huge pet peeve of mine too. He will occassionally get the kid down after dinner. He always wipes his face, but skips cleaning the tray. I mentioned it a few weeks ago, and he's cleaned it every time since. YES! Finally!

Oh Lord, yes. Just this weekend, I about blew a gasket because the kids had been outside for nearly an hour w/o sunscreen, playing with the 3rd kid/husband. I don't understand why I am the only adult who remembers these things.
