My wife is very cool, let's me do my thing, takes care of the kids....but after 9 years of marriage.....
I hate that we get the kids to bed, sit down to watch a movie together and she's out like a light 5 minutes in. Why not just go to bed and let me watch my mindless action adventure without the sawing wood background noise?
I hate that she gets new (nice) tennis shoes every few months because she treats them like shit. Never unlaces to put on/take off, etc. I've still got shoes from 6 years ago that look brand new, while her 1 month old shoes look like she mugged a homeless person.
I hate that she won't move into the 21st century with our finances. Still wants to write in a check register and balance manually. Um, that takes 1/2 the time and is more accurate on the computer....she'll have none of it.
Doesn't swallow....I know, I tried to set the precedent early on, but it wasn't happening. She's open to other things, so I don't push it.
Plays the "wait 'till Daddy gets home" card with the kids. Yet, disapproves when I yell at them. Well, the reason they listen to me is because there is a hint of fear. That fear comes from my ability to become visibly angry in a matter of seconds. Perfected by watching the Chiefs BTW.
Having said all of this, I couldn't ask for a better mate and mother to my children. I'm sure her list about me is longer than this entire thread....
