That time of the month?
Ladies today I am going to reveal to everyone a tightly guarded secret we hold. Yes women do turn into bitches at “that time of the month.” Some may deny it, some are proud of it, but very few understand it.
So let me explain to both men and women why this “bitchiness” happens. It occurs simply because our control switch gets turned off for 1-3 days out of the month! For the rest of the month we are able to deal with stupidity, aggravation, disrespect, laziness, and everything else the world throws at us. Then PMS hits the control switch is kicked off for a brief time each month and we are actually allowed to express how we truly feel. Men “bitch” all the time, kids “bitch” all the time, women bitch 1-3 days a month!
To the women: if you’d like to test this don’t do anything for just one day and see how much bitching occurs around you. Don’t cook, don’t clean, don’t do laundry and what will you hear? Where’s dinner? Why are the kid’s toys all over the place? Where are my jeans? Don’t feed that baby for a couple hours and its going to cry until you do feed it. Right?
Yet everyday we deal with no one helping us out and are suppose to continue to do it all with a big smile on our face and no complaining. All week hubby and his friend, aka 2nd hubby, have been home because their trucks are down. Every night I have made and cleaned up dinner without even an offer to help set the table or an effort on their parts to clear the table. What do I get in return? 2nd hubby sits at the dining room table talking on the phone. Am I a mind reader? Do I know he is talking to someone about a very ill friend? NO, but regardless here is an idea, have a little respect and leave the dinner table if you are on a phone call you can not end!!! No instead I have to tell him its dinner time as if he is a teenager and I get attitude about it.
That was Wednesday night. Thursday my hand is swollen and hurts, sprained or something who knows. I still make dinner and set the table with no help. What do I get? Any thank you or offer for help? Of course not, I get hubby’s loving comment to 2nd hubby of “notice the attitude change?” Are you kidding me?
Now my control switch only turns off for about a day give or take a few hours. Since my switch was off Wednesday it was back on Thursday and instead of telling the lazy ungrateful assholes how I really feel I just bit my tongue and served up dinner like a good little wifey. I did make a comment that I was having a difficult time with dishes because of my hand so hubby offers to do them. How nice, well would have been nice had he actually done them. Instead I venture into making tonight’s dinner with a sink full of dishes, my hand still bothering me and last night’s dinner dishes still all over the stove and dining room table.
Well maybe that switch is in between on and off on day 2 of my monthly “bitchiness.” Hubby just asked if the roast in the crock pot is done or needs to cook still and I let him know it’s done but nothing else can get done because there are dishes everywhere. When he asked if I’d like him to do some dishes I reminded him that I told him last night I needed his help with dishes. So I guess now that he’s in there doing dishes I need to go finish making the rest of dinner.
There will definitely be more to come on this subject. I suggest checking back every month about this time to read more on this topic.
