Acting like a two year old - that will be me. Not one of my boys. Allow me to jump up and down. To show some bad behaviour in the blog world. Where my kids can't see me.
You all know how badly I wanted to go away. Not just for me. The boys really need to go out. It's holiday and they are bored. Weekends are the only time I have to take them somewhere. Since I'm so busy at work, I really could do with the break.
Yesterday we had to do shopping. No food in the house is just no fun. So yesterday was out (unless you take the day out in town as going "out" lol) I assumed we would go somewhere today. That is until he told me of his plans to play golf. All organized with his golfing partners. I told him that I was upset. That I would much rather go somewhere today. I could see that I lost that fight. So firstly I'm upset about being stuck at home today.
Few things that gets me when he goes out to play golf.
- He wakes up at 6 am to leave
- He doesn't take the two older boys with, as we had discussed when Zander was born.
- He gets at least 6 hours all by himself to relax and I get what?
- I get to clean the house, bath the kids, dress the kids, feed the kids
- He already plays most Wednesdays so why does he need to play every single Sunday?
Okay, now that I have vented about the golf I feel better. Well, not really but I can't hit him over the head with a golf stick, which would really make me feel better. Well, not really but you get the point.
A fellow blogger wrote this post. I thought it was brilliant. It's about motherhood and sexuality. Well written. You can read my response to her there.

Amy and I never work at the same time. Two evenings a week, I come home and Amy goes to work for a few hours. Then she works all day Saturday. If it wasn't for that, I don't think I would have ever appreciated how hard and tiring it is to have both boys and try to get things done around the house at the same time. When it's time for Amy to come home, I catch myself looking out the window, watching for her car to pull in the driveway. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably think "Man, I've worked hard all week, I deserve some time away on the weekend doing something fun." Instead, I know that the one needing the time away is Amy! | |

I swear I could have written THAT POST MYSELF!!! That is nearly exactly what happened to me on Saturday - only when he got home from golf - he said, 'I"m meeting so-and-so at the pub to watch England vs Portugal...I sat and fumed!!!!! | |

BRING ON THE TANTRUM - I think you have every right and a valid reason to be pissed. I dont' know if I would have the same restraint. I'd probably shove the golf club right up his ass - not really *wink*.
Phew, I think I just had a tantrum for you. one of the bonuses to being single is I don't have to deal with this type of behaviour and my expectations.
I'm so sorry that you didn't get to go on a real outing - that sucks. | |

Sorry to hear that you got left at home. You totally deserve to throw a tantrum. | |

I've been given a bit of a reprieve from the golf-bug, and I must say, I'n enjoying it. So much more quality time! Still, I can sympathise 100% with you. | |

Sorry to hear... I really hoped he understood. I hoped he will take older boys with him. I hoped it is discussed and decided. But NO... Sometimes I feel men are from another planet, really. Sorry, Mel.
PS I love this 'Melany' design (drawing kind) on the bottom of this post. Great one!!! | |

I know in my own life, when my kids were very young, my husband was the same way. He managed to find hours upon hours of time to himself while I had none. Things have finally changed, but it took a long time. We've been married 22+ years and it took until we were married 18 or so before things started changing. I feel for you. | |
