Well, today marks the first day of 2015 and it has already had it's ups and downs. Fighting with the boyfriend and arguing with the kids to get things done, etc. I don't know why I thought today would be any different from any other day.
Tonight's fight was about the temperature of the house - when he's here he likes it cooler then what it is set at, myself and the kids like it a bit warmer. I do not see why he can not just get rid of some layers and he can not see why I can not add some layers - stupid little fights that always blow up into larger arguments and make me want to punch him in the face because I feel like he doesn't respect me or see me as an equal - why can't he look at me when we are talking!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHHHHH it's soooooo frustrating. It's when he acts like this that I feel he is selfish.
this morning we fought about video games - GOD I HATE that they are so addictive. The male gender in my house could easily spend all day playing, even when things need to be done, even when there are other people in the house that require their attention - they just go not care about anything else but getting game time in. So in exchange for my silence the boyfriend spent some time with me - he went grocery shopping with me. Not what I would classify as quality time with me but beggars can't be choosers, right?! At least he came out to Walmart, which may I add he hates, lol.
We arrive back home and then he dismisses himself to play. As the hours go by, I had to remind one of my sons that he does not have to sit and watch his brother play video games since he already had his gaming time today and to go do something productive. Well that was like I was asking him for his kidney or something, almost the end of the world it seemed. But i managed to get him to go talk the dog for a walk, after tears had been shed. I think my biggest problem with the whole siblings watching each other play video games is that they don't want to do anything other then that. Heaven forbid that they go outside or do something creative or productive or educational, like read. I already limit how much TV they watch!!!! What else can I do? GOD, I am so frustrated right now.......
Anyways, thanks for the vent, lol. I look forward to blogging daily with all my ups and downs.
