So Apperantely...

So somehow, I've transformed into a super house wife....Don't know when that happened of how I LET that happen, but happen it did. Now I just need to figure out why.

Since the beginning of out relationship, my husband has been aware that I am lazy. Yes, I said it, I am lazy....Very lazy. But the beautiful thing about our relationship was the fact that he was just as lazy. He knew from the beginning that I don't cook (well big meals, but I will make pasta or something small) and I don't wash dishes. He was fine with this. At one point he even started doing the laundry, which I don't have any problems doing, because the washers were on the other side of the complex.

Well since we've been living with someone who cleans almost all day (she has people in and out of the house everyday and she likes to have things look good) he thinks that that's what I should be doing. Well I DO, just not everyday. I clean off HIS desk, put away HIS dirty clothes, HIS huge ass shoes (he wears a size 16 EEEE), and I wash clothes. So what's the problem? Well I have no fucking clue.

This morning he tells me (30 minutes before he has to leave for work mind you) that he has no clean over shirts. Well what the hell am I supposed to do about it thirty minutes BEFORE he goes to work? Magically wash AND dry something for him in that amount of time? I don't think so. He asked me what laundry I did yesterday and where it was. I told him it was still in the washer cause our roommates clothes were still in the dryer (plus, it's a slow dryer, takes about two cycles for the clothes to actually be dry). So (not even fully awake yet), I went and found him a shirt. When he comes to see that it's not a shirt he wants to wear he begins to act like I've done something wrong.

Then he tells me that I need to make sure that I wash whites today because we are running low. I informed him that I was aware of this and he gets all bent out of shape "Well, I'm just saying because our whites are with all of our clean clothes". Which my response to was "What do you mean?" He went nuts! "Well the white basket with the DIRTY clothes is near the clean clothes"....I still didn't understand what he meant.

Let me give some background: We have all of our clothes in the garage, in baskets. Why? Well our roommate is transforming the garage into a room, with a closet so we can (eventually) put our clothes in. In the meantime we have all of our clothes in baskets. The white basket in this instance is in a corner of the garage and far away from any clean clothes. As far as I was concerned, that basket had not been moved. Again, I had just gotten up and from the time we went to bed last night to the time that all this happened, I was under the impression that it was still in the same spot.

I don't know if he thinks that just because we are living with someone who is constantly cleaning, that I should have no excuse in why the clothes aren't done. Well I do have "excuses".

1. She has meetings all through out the day (in the home and in the dinning room, where the machines happen to be) and I'm sure they don't want to go the whole meeting hearing the washing machine and having me go back and forth in there to move my clothes or add more.
2. She had clothes in the dryer. She knew she had clothes in the dryer. She didn't take them out or put them to cycle again. So how the HELL was I supposed to put our clothes in the dryer when her's were STILL in there?
3. I'm not a MIND READER! How the hell was I supposed to know that he didn't have any clean over shirts? (Which he did have one, by the way, he just didn't want to wear that specific one). He needs to TELL me that he's RUNNING LOW, not that he's completely out THE DAY HE HAS TO WORK!

Again, I don't know if it's because we live with someone who is a super mom, but he needs to stop thinking that this is how I'M supposed to be. He's known for the past three and a half years that this is NOT who I am, nor is this someone I WANT to be! Why do men think that just because one woman does something that ALL woman should do exactly that? It's driving me crazy, and it needs to end, soon.
