[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These whine-fests are never ending. Have you never left your children at home for a weekend with your husband in charge? If not, why not? When you arrive home and all the kids are accounted for and no one had to go to the ER, it’s all good. His way might not be YOUR way, but isn’t that okay? To the super planners who posted…You need a “plan” to go out to dinner? What’s the problem with, “Kids, grab your coats, we are going out for dinner tonight.”[/quote]

It’s like: I arrive home after a night out and its 9pm and kid hasn’t eaten dinner and DH is expecting me to make it.

Or I arrive home and its 10pm and kid isn’t in bed (guess who gets to handle the fallout)

Or I arrive home and there are dishes everywhere that nobody else will do.

Just go to bed.[/quote]

So it's like a game of chicken as to who's willing to neglect the children the most?[/quote]

+1 wtf is wrong with this poster? if you didn't want kids, you shouldn't have had kids.[/quote]

-1 If you can't go out and come home at 9pm and go straight to bed and have your H handle parenting you are a terrible parent and a f'd up person.

If you want kids you need to let their father parent them, stop being such an insane control freak.[/quote]

Wanting a kid to have dinner before 9 (or dinner at all) is being a control freak? Wow.[/quote]

Yeah, either that poster is a troll or is projecting.  Like, if you come home and rant at your DH because the kids had cereal and ice cream for dinner that night, I'd say unclench.  But she said her DH hadn't fed them and it was 9 (presumably several hours after their normal dinner time).  To the PP with this DH -- that's not junior-partner parenting, that's just being an utterly selfish a-hole.  There were no indications you were marrying this kind of person?[/quote]

Yes, it’s controlling. Do you control freaks it sounds completely normal to come home at 9 o’clock and start in on your husband… Have the kids eaten? Did they do their homework? Did you do spelling words? Do they have their pajamas on? How much TV did they watch? Did they brush their teeth? Did you wipe down the counter?

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah… give it an effing rest[/quote]

I don’t think she’d need to ask these questions.  Pretty sure the kids would tell her about the fact that daddy didn’t feed them quickly and she can easily see if they’re in pjs and if the dishes are done.  And if I came home to discover my partner had f’d up our evening routine like that I’d be asking what horrible emergency occurred.  I feel bad for the PP for whom that’s a normal occurrence.[/quote]

Oh thats so much better an inspection of the quarters.

How about this just go to bed.

Don’t ask, don’t inspect the quarters, just go to bed read a book. Enjoy your time and stop judging everybody.

Lol OUR routine? Don’t you mean your routine that you think is the only right way of doing everything and you forced upon your spouse?[/quote]
