[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh.  Im with DW on this.  Its not the end of the world if you eat the pie but honestly if the kids prefer the pie why not eat the cake.  Its not like you didn't have another option and you did sleep through desert.  Did you consider that perhaps she too wants the pie but has left it for the kids.  I guess in my mind my kids will always come first before DH and myself.  Its not that you are a an after thought its just that you are an adult, husband and father all these things come after children.  It will never end, the kids will always come first only until they have children of their own in which case you (and your wife) will fall farther down the pole.  Sorry.  Its just how it goes.[/quote]

In your world.

My marriage comes first and my kids greatly benefit from having parents who are still in love modeling a healthy relationship.

Good luck with that. I bet sex in your house can be measured in leap years.[/quote]

Why are you so sour?  Actually we have a great sex life thank you and a better than average marriage. I also think that stating, "your marriage comes first" is selfish. Your family, including your spouse, should come first and within that structure there are priorities.  My children are still young so perhaps this changes but they come first and always will.  This does not mean that my relationship with my husband has to suffer.  I would hope that he would say the same about his relationship with me.  Would you say this if you re-married?  Would you want your spouse to adopt this position if he remarried?  A happy marriage and putting children as a priority in a family environment do not have to be mutually exclusive.

I just think OP sounds like a brat.  He slept through a portion of a family meal then gets upset because his wife, who is probably pissed at his general self-centered attitude.  This is exhibited by OP getting so upset that he couldn't have it that he came to DCUM to complain about it.  He had another option, he doesn't say apple pie is his favorite or a tradition he likes to keep.  This whole post isn't about pie its about DW's passive aggressive resentment to OP's selfishness and he's even mad at his kids.  Next time OP, if you want the pie so badly join the family for desert and take your nap after you help clean up![/quote]
