Speaking of arguments for no reason: Last Monday night I had been out with my dad, we go to auctions to buy stuff for his flea market booths, and I got home and there were dirty dishes in the sink. Not many dirty dishes since my step-daughter had been told to clean the kitchen, but she had left some dishes and hadn't cleaned the sink. This is one BIG pet peave of mine. When you clean the kitchen clean the sink, make sure there is NO food left in it. I think that is so gross. Anyway I start putting dishes in the dishwasher and I am not saying a word and my husband, who has been dozing in the recliner, asks me what I am doing. I tell him " I am putting dishes in the dishwasher". To which he responds, "Why are you putting dishes in the dishwasher"? I am thinking "DUHHHH" But I don't say it, instead I say "Because the dishes are dirty". To which he responds,"Why are the dishes dirty, I told Renee to clean the kitchen." By now I am getting upset because this is beginning to get to be a Heated discussion. I say "there are some dirty dishes so I am cleaning up the kitchen because if I don't feel like doing it tomorrow I don't want to try cooking dinner with dirty dishes in the sink". By now he is getting angry, why? I don't know. Then he says "Renee NEVER does anything to suit you. You are just looking for something she does wrong all the time." By now I am getting pissed because I had not said anything about his daughter one way or the other and he is getting defensive on her behalf. So I decide to put a load of laundry in the dryer and just get away from him and the dishwasher to cool off. So I go to the utility room and start taking clothes out of the washer, which I put in before I left to go with my dad. Anyway, I am putting the clothes in the dryer and he says ,"What are you doing now?" To which I respond in my head, DUH what does it look like? But I don't say it. I just say that I had put these in before I left and I am putting them in the dryer so they can dry while we are asleep. Then out of the wild blue he says he tries to make things easier on me by having the kitchen clean when I come home and that I could wait and he can have Renee put the clothes in the dryer tomorrow. There are 3 adults and 1 15 year old living in my home right now and if I wait until tomorrow for these clothes to go in the dryer I am going to have 2 loads to do if someone else doesn't do them. So I just keep putting clothes in the dryer and he is fuming. I don't undeerstand this at all and I am about to explode by now because he starts in on how unfairly I treat his daughter. Now keep in mind all this started becaue I was putting diry dishes in the dishwasher. We wound up in a God awful fight over this. I just don't understand at all how this came about. I just let it go for the night and figured things would have to be better tomorrow when I got up. Sure enough the next morning it was as if nothing had ever happened. |
"MD junction is a place for us to share our experiences both good and bad it is a safe haven from the ignorant and the doubters a place to vent ask advice or just get away from it all.
