2 points--but who's counting?
Ok, Squinty has been on his soapbox on and off for the last couple of months about edification. He see's that his kids have little respect for him, and he attributes it to the fact (he thinks) that I don't edify him to the kids. Funny how it's my fault they don't respect him. It's not the things he says and does to them--promises unkept--cutdowns--watching him make a fool of himself drunk. Besides--they respect me, though he tears me down in front of them all the time! What's the difference here? Anyways!
Last night he came in in his usual state--and started in on me. "I'd say it's time to do your yearly cleaning out the refrigerator! It still has the chili in it you fixed the last time you cooked when the girl's boyfriends were over! The only time you cook is when they are over--so you only cook for them..." blah, blah, blah. My daughter told him I had fixed the chili because she had requested it--but that fell on deaf ears. Also, he told me a long time ago that if I would get up and fix a big family breakfast every morning that he would never expect me to fix supper. Besides, I'm never home to fix supper--my kids are in too many things, and I'm the only one who will drive them anywhere. So, does he consider the hour I get up before him and cook--not cooking? Well, I got home at 9:15 after not being home all day--working then running kids. It was 10:15--I had already done laundry, dishes, and straightening up the house. So I ignored him, and thankfully he went to bed.
So, this morning, I was late getting up, so didn't fix breakfast--obviously it's going unappreciated anyways--and the kids absolutely hate it! I doubt they'll ever be able to look an egg in the face again. Breakfast is all about Squinty--and so, this morning, I was not all about Squinty--OK?
So he comes down and starts in. "I see the dogs are still peeing in the house--did you rub their faces in it--well, did you? I said did you?" In my face--in front of the kids.
I just looked at him, and smiled and said "Oh, are you edifying me?" He mumbled something and went on his way to work. Since then he has called me twice--kissing up.
