I don't "get" men...
Okay, it's Sunday...Yesterday, Scott wanted a haircut, I offered to give him one last night...he was too tired to let me cut his hair. Then this morning, he got up, showered, sat and let me cut his hair...watched t.v. while I made a pancake and egg breakfast, ate...and went back in on the bed while I printed out his lesson for today. While he read it, I washed Chelsea's hair, cleaned the kitchen (which he said he would do, but didn't), and got showered myself. Then he had a question on the fall, so I ran off and got Mormon Doctrine, and Ludlow's book and printed off three different talks from the church website, and he laid on the bed reading as I ran them into him. I just went back into the room and he is sleeping, when I asked him if he was ready to teach his lesson, and would he like to share any part with me, he mumbled..."Maybe later, I'm recovering..."
Now my question is...."recovering from what?" From the exhaustive process of watching me work while he is catered to? Or did his intensive reading lead him to a Lehi experience that has left him spiritually drained....naw...... I just don't get it. This man brags about how he can outwork anymember of his crew, but when I see him he is often "recovering". Now I am NOT claiming to be perfect...far be it, but I just wish he could conjure up the energy to help me put the outdoor christmas lights away before the "Easter Bunny" trips on them.
Another thing I don't get, is his parents trust. Scott's sister, Rhea called last night to let us know that according to the way the trust is written, If Scott should die before his father, Scott's share of the trust would go to his "biological children". Not me...not any of the four children we raised together that came with me into this marriage...but Sara, Micah, Ross and Chelsea. She attempted to soften it by saying that the clause pertained to all the siblings, but we are the only ones who have a blended family...so that is really a mute point.
Granted, the money was earned by his parents and they have a right to distribute it any way they please, just as we did with out trust. However, Scott and I have gone out of our way attempting to be fair...to all our children, regardless of who biologically fathered them. I knew that his mother didn't approve of our marriage, but I guess I had hoped it was a part of the past....but it keeps on going.....
