I don’t know what it is about things that men just don’t get about parenting. Or housekeeping. Or things in general. But DAMN. I think I’m in a mood right now because everything that man did today drove me insane.

Here are ten things he did:

1. Took his socks off and threw them towards the general direction of the laundry machine.
2. Left a gum wrapper on the table.
3. Could not find my wallet which was sitting right in front of him on the very top of the purse he was rummaging through.
4. Did not put gas in the car because he could not find said wallet.
5. Left my Ceres Chill cup at a party and had to go back for it.
6. Complained that I wanted to hold the baby when I could have been doing other things. Apparently, our baby is never going to learn to be independently if I’m always holding him. Despite the fact that he sleeps and plays GREAT independently…
7. Took a two hour nap because having a baby is “just so tiring” even though I was taking care of the baby all day.
8. Complained when I then wanted to take time to myself to pump and take a bath because I “could have done that if I’d put the baby down earlier.” I wanted time BEFORE he went to bed and I took a 5 hour shift with the baby, not at 2:00pm when I was holding my baby.
9. Left me with no clean bottles before I took over for the night.

Anyone else just hanging on a string while trying to get through this first year of parenthood? I’m losing it over here. Those who have been through it — any advice?
