BOOM! Thanks MV

I am also like this in many ways.... I can't tell you the last time anyone raised their voice in my house.

My husband behaves the way he does due to his culture, he was the first born male in his family and babied until age 33.

Sometimes I do funny stuff, like I put clear plastic wrap on the toilet one night because he kept leaving the toilet seat up and I would fall in all the time in the middle of the night. He ended up with PEE all over his feet, and I never had my rear end in the toilet again.

I think how you handle things all depends on your relationship and I a sure that you are aware of when you are pushing things too far.

BTW how is noodle night?? Is it still on?

Nope! He apologized last night and we had a discussion about it. He stated why he said that and that it was uncalled for and that he's just stressed about money (its a big jump for him since mommy wasn't charging him rent or groceries). I understand, but if he wants to be part of this family he needs to chip in like one. He gets it now. Is also looking for a part time job. Applied at 2 places today. I have 3 jobs to pay my half because DC isn't cutting it right now, so I'm glad he see's that, even though I support his career, it may not be cutting it right now in his slow season. Doesn't mean he has to leave completely (he's amazing at what he does).

So things are back to normal now. He got to eat his left over pot roast last night and he treated up to pizza dinner this evening No work for me. Excellent.

glad that you guys worked it all out. My husband now joined me when I had two kids and he was still living at home. So like yours he jumped into an instant family. It took some molding and patience on my part, but we are always able to work things out.

He has been unemployed as a physician for almost a year, but started his own company that makes little to no money. It has been hard for me to stand by it, but I would be a hypocrite in my own right if I didn't, because he has always supported mine.

I am sure you will have many more moments like this, just keep your head up and smiling.

Can't say for anyone else but I know that I for one am not teaching anyone a lesson. My husband has a hard time empathizing with anyone on just about any issue because of his childhood. He's been on his own since he was in his teens and fended for himself. He's set in his ways so to speak and he's not a "talker". He's better than he was before but I can talk to him until I'm blue in the face about how we needed a gate to the kitchen to keep the kids safe and out of there and it just wasn't a big deal to him so it was a non-issue.... until my son got into the dishwasher and grabbed a knife and tried poking my leg with it and once he did the same again and cut four fingers and his palm.

I talked to him about putting his shoes away and even compromised and just asked to at least not leave them near the steo that leads into the garage. Guess who tripped and fell on his shoes while she was pregnant because they were at the bottom of the stair in the garage? This girl right here.

Things just don't seem to be a big deal to him so I need to find another way to show him what I mean. Talking gets me nowhere. BUT he's a hard worker, loves us, takes care of us, is an excellent father and an all around good guy. I just don't want to keep hurting myself or have someone else hurt themselves and I don't want to feel like my opinions don't matter. He;s come a long way and I can ignore lots of his other quirks. I just choose my battles.

This just makes it sound like your husband doesn't value your opinion or wants until it somehow affects him. It took him you falling down a flight of stairs while you were pregnant to move his shoes?!?!? Or was this your way of showing him it was unsafe?!?!
