So, Meredith asked a very good question after dinner tonight.

Why are you in such a bad mood?Why, indeed? I love how she understates things. If a Xerox copy of me was asking the same question, it would ask "Why are you being such a prick to your family?" Why, indeed

It's like, even your 3 hours of alone time feels like a chore, because you're stuck with 3 hours, and you better make the best of it, doing what you want to do. So you better figure it out fast, and implement it, and you better enjoy it, dammit.

So then naturally, you can't even enjoy that.

Or maybe it's just me.

And I don't even have kids...I feel like I babysit my husband everyday as a career. Heh.

Doesn't make you a bad parent.

I suppose it's a matter of perspective. In any case I need to make the most of my downtime; whether I view it as a chore or as a relief is up to me. And you, it seems like.

You're allowed to be angry. You're allowed to like quiet. You're allowed to be male.

Get more male friends who you can bitch with, commiserate, drink maybe.

[missus_paul]

WTF? He's not allowed to be male, what are you talking about? LOL

[rapier]

Yeah, I feel you. I don't drink often, but there are times when keeping a pint of Johnny Walker Black in my desk drawer seems like a reasonable idea. But yes, more male friends couldn't hurt.

*smirk* Look at how kids used to behave in the victoria age and 300 years ago. Seems like they managed to have "quiet households" and the children were well behaved.

Now look at everything they had to do to achieve it. Willing to do it? Hahaha some people would consider it child abuse. *shrug* As long as you aren't beating them or giving them psychological issues....*cackles* see why I refuse to be a parent.

Might also be a time for a mommy daddy only vacation.

Sorry didn't mean for that to be annonymous

[rapier]

Hah, well, thinking back on how my dad got us to stay quiet? I'm certain it'd be abuse these days.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, my good man, but if you're children are anywhere near as active as I was, that quiet time you're talking about isn't going to happen for another 18 years - when I really got serious about music and soccer, my parents were usually following me around the "great" state of North Carolina during the week and didn't usually get any rest until late Sunday night.
