my sunday

Comment Published at 11:2211:2216 comments16 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport

I'm feeling crappy at the moment. There is a disconnect going on between me and MonkeyDad.

He read my blog below and said, "you left something out."

Ok, I admit it. I left something thing out. I left out the fact that when the family asked him if they could go in the red train (Matty wanted to ride in the red train), he turned to Matty to ask him if it was OK and that they ride in the black one instead. Matty answered yes.

Alrighty then. I hope that's better. Does it now seem less accusatory towards him? Because really, the first thing I meant to imply on my blog was that it was my fault to want to go out for the day. I reaped what I sowed.

He said it's not that he thought I was making it to seem his fault. He said he's just reliving the misery of yesterday or something like that.

Anyway, it's my blog... a diary. Instead of internalizing things, I am writing it them down. I'm not even writing the whole thing down. I'm just writing a snap shot and a snap shot from my point of view and not others. If he wanted to write a blog based on his point of view, he really should. If I was to trully write what I feel and write everything that's in my head, I am sure I would appear psychotic to everyone.

Re: my sunday

If we always wrote down what we thought all the time, I think most of us would sound ready for the 'Loony Bin'  Hope you two have talked it out now and got it cleared up between you. I agree with nell18-3 people always see thing differantly even when stood next to eachother in a group.

may be don't let him read over your sholder? :-) i'm just kidding, he must have felt realy bad then acted the 'matcho' to cover his embarrisment.

Re: my sunday

We did talk it out (within 1 hour of me posting this). It's just tough on us. Right now, we're 2 people just trying to cope with 3 little kids and we don't get any chance to connect.  We're overdue for some one on one R&R.

Thank you for the clarification.  Waiting for your self-flagellation as well.  We're waiting....

My husband says this kinda crap too.  "get your own blog" is very nice.  Much nicer than I would have been.

I told him that too!  But I guess it's not a manly thing to do. I don't know.

LOL

Re: my sunday

Sorry to laugh Izzy

Hasn't Monkeydad also heard that two people can go and watch the same event and come back with completely different stories ???? Its a known fact that what may impact one person will go over the head of another.

Also a blog is a "writing my thoughts at the moment" type of Diary not  step by step legally binding LOL

Get Monkeydad to write his own blog of the train trip and we can all comment in there too !!!!!

xxx

Re: my sunday

Funny you should mention the perspectives.. we used to do Kenpo Karate and one of the things we were always taught is that there are 3 perspectives to everyting: yours, mine, and the spectator.     MonkeyDad should know that.. Hmmm??   LOL

Re: my sunday

Hey Izzy - it's weird, I feel funny when DH reads mine! - Sometimes I think he should, as he doesn't seem to get where I'm coming from, then other times when even i think I have been a bit unfair I cringe when he reads it.  I often write to vent as there is nowhere else to take it out - and it is so subjective.  Sometimes when you have written stuff down you feel differently about it - the me of yesterday is not the me of today!  Anyway, I hope you can sort it out - feeling at odds with each other makes everything else worse!

Re: my sunday

Tee hee. I know I shouldn't laugh, but isn't that the fun of writing things down and looking for sympathy! You can leave things out and write it the way you want!

Tell MonkeyDad I certainly don't hold anything against him. I've certainly made my fair share of bad decisions to actually believe my child when he says it's okay not to bring a favorite toy on the trip this time (sometimes they just say, YES) and I follow through and then I have to deal with a screaming child in the car or whatever. But, you wrote the blog so I commiserated with you. Tell MonkeyDad to write his blog and I'll commiserate with him!

I think that's the biggest lesson learned... something may be OK one minute with a toddler, and the next it's the worst thing in the world.

Blasted men!  Always take things the wrong way, and they say that we are the worst!  Hope things settle down between you soon.  If not, I'll leave a big spider on his lounge!

Wisdom has nothing to do with it.  Past experience has taught me men squeal like girls when faced with spiders! lol.
