Husband's ...I don't Know!!!

Hi Pat. Maybe I should copy that onto a piece of paper and give it to my husband too. Who writes that book by the way? I wonder if our public library has a copy of it, I wouldn't mind reading it too:)

I was really annoyed about the whole thing and all he could say to me was "I knew you would be upset about me going to tennis" and yet that wasn't why I was upset. The fact that he was out for almost 3-4 hours playing tennis until 10ish while my poor son was sick, with no food in our house - that is what got me angry. He didn't even think once about our sick son - he just asked him how he was when he got home and then out the door he went. Grrr

This book, written by Johann Christoph Arnold, is in it's third printing (1996, 1998, 2002). It seems to have gotten rave reviews and was even passed on to Pope John Paul II (Foreward by Mother Teresa). Unless you are really religious, I wouldn't get this book just for that one paragraph. A good book to get is Dr. Phil's Family First. I have read that (awhile ago) and it was very helpful. Hard to get guys to read books, especially self-help books. That is why Dr. Phil puts all his books on CD. LOL!

On the other hand, this book is a thin paperback of only 160 pages.

I completely agree with you! Men have gotten lazy and do take us for granted. It wasn't suppose to be like this, but saddly it is.

Yup and to think that he thought I was angry at him playing tennis, but I wasn't. The fact that he got home late at 10pm with only macdonalds, and yet our plan was that he goes for an hour or two and comes back either with dinner then goes off to buy the groceries or he goes straight there after tennis.

He forgot about us because he was having too much fun and that got me angry.

Something I learned about myself through therapy is that I am not so mad about what happens as I am that things don't go the way I planned/hoped. I told my therapist I was a control freak and she said I wasn't, that I just didn't like it when things happened that were out of my control (which is a phobia for everyone really). We want things to run as planned. One thing I learned about my husband is the only thing that is reliable about him is his UNreliability.

I didn't like it either. Just as well it doesn't happen often because it's been a long time since he's been invited out to play any type of sports and that he's taken advantage of it by staying out longer than he should have.

If it was me, I know I wouldn't have forgotten him nor my son, in fact I don't think i would of gone out period knowing my son was ill.

Yes, one of the things I have told my husband is that he can always depend on me to be home when I say I will, and if not I will call. Of course, we're mothers. Being a mother is always first in our minds and behave accordingly.

Yes and No LOL At least your daughter had fun - so much for the diet dinner LOL

Well u should not be mad at all as he was making the little angel enjoying carnival and zoo,
and burger king is not bad too, atleast he bring some thing and kept his promise that u need not to cook.

How sweet

Oh my gosh I would of been most upset and angry at the time if my husband didn't help me with my son on the plane. Aww that must of been most upsetting to have to handle that on your own.

He doesn't get the chance to go off and play sports with his friends because he is always working, and I think it just got to him you know? he just was enjoying the moment and stuck it out as long as he could. It's funny though because he was the one that suggested to buy the groceries after tennis, not me, so that's why I was annoyed.

I enjoyed the MacD;s though LOL

lol...I can imagine. They just get caught up in the moment when they are with friends.
My husband's a lot better now after the second child. Though my husband was the oldest, he was brought up by his grandparents and 2 aunts...so he is more of a single child and never had to think of anyone besides himself. And we had our older son in the first year of marriage...so couldn't train my husband earlier..lol
But with the little now, he knows what I need before I even say it.

LOL I reckon aye. I actually laughed afterwards because when he got back from buying some tylenol for my son, he brought a big packet of my favorite nacho cheese chips LOL a peice offering LOL

haha they sure are from a different planet at times LOL I know he tried but if he had done all of that after his tennis match (which he suggested he should do i.e buy the groceries) then it would of been all fine and dandy LOL oh well just as well this doesn't happen often.

Thanks mychattime and welcome to mylot.

Hi mummymo, he is feeling a lot better today, thankfully. I was a little scared there for a moment because he was acting different to the other times he's been sick. His fever broke early this morning and he was up and about this afternoon. He seems to be keeping down his food and wants to go to school tommorrow. We shall see.

I don't think my husband knows what common sense is some of the time LOL I suppose because he doesn't get out and play any sport much since he's always working, maybe it just got to him LOL

I am so pleased he is on the mend - you are right not to make any decision on him going back to school just yet, sometimes they feel better and think that is it but they get very tired, very easily til they are fully recovered!
As for hubby - he is just a man - he can't help it- they were after all the flawed practise model before God saw all the flaws and decided he had better create women to make up for all the shortcomings of men! lol xxx

hahaha I growled at him and he was like "I knew you didn't really want me to go and play tennis." I was like, "hello it isn't about the tennis LOL what about the plan to buy groceries duh - look at the dayum time" LOL he even suggested that idea to go grocery shopping after tennis" sheesh...

He is a whole lot better today and was up and about this afternoon. He wants to go back to school tommorrow but we shall see. It was scarey that he suddenly vomited and felt whoozy and I don't know what triggered it. I think maybe a slight case of food poisoning or something. I'm just glad he is ok today. Thanks gemini:)
