argh - have to vent. if there was one thing I could change about Chris - have one wish for him - just one, it would be for him to care about the grass. to care what our yard looks like. not that I want a golf course-esque yard, or for him to even use the trimmer, just cut the grass on a fairly consistant schedule.
I don't mind cutting it, usually. but if I have other things to do, or just don't feel like it, I wish he would say wow, the grass is getting bad, I better cut it. NO - that has never once happened. never. he couldn't care less. and 9 times out of 10 I do have soemthing else I could/should be doing.
ARGH - it is so aggrevating! I hate having to be the one to bring it up al lthe time. i hate getting angry with him when he doens't step up to the plate. there is one hill in particular that i cannot stand (we only have a push mower). the damn mower pulls me down this hill and i hate it. i hate feeling like i might lose control.
I wrote this post in 7 mins. I just came in the house, I only have that little hill left to do, and I begged, hair matted to my face, sweat dripping down my neck as I pour a glass of lemonade to quench my thirst if he could please cut the hill. the hill is probably 10 swipes up and down, and maybe 40 feet long, not a huge deal, especially for him (who can control the mower better then I can). But now he sits on the couch flipping through a damn catalog while there is 10 mins of daylight left. this time of year I get home from work and literally get changed and start mowing just to get it done before dark.
we have a little over 1/3rd of an acre and tiny house and 1 car garage. I have added some gardens, but not many so there is a lot of grass to cut. when we bag the grass is takes 1 hours and 45 mins to cut....that's about how long I have from after work till it's too dark.
granted his job is physically harder then mine, I get it, he's tired. But COME ON!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I feel a little better but this has been stewing all summer. I've talked about it when I'm not cutting the grass, I've explained how I need his help, he always says I never ask for help (which is true) - well no wonder I never ask if he doesn't frekaing help when I DO ask!
I just needed to get that off my chest.

I'm sorry...sounds like DH needs a kick in the tail. Hopefully there's not too much grass mowing left for this year.
ReplyDeleteWe may be married to the same man. The back yard grass is so high I'm pretty sure my pug could get lost in it. So annoying.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure our husbands were separated at birth. And our lawn is so tiny we cut it with a reel mower! No excuse. I feel like his mother telling him it's time for us to work on the lawn.
