So...wow, a lot of posts since this morning. First...keeper28, I wish you had the sack to leave up whatever comments you made to stir the pot...I only caught snippets from quotes...
LET ME SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT:
I pull the standard Dad shenanigans...if I can con my wife into changing a dirty diaper, I will (nose-goes is a law in our house). If I wake up on a weekday morning and hear the kids stirring, I may jump in the shower to avoid the morning clusterfuck. I have even been known to weasel out of taking both kids with me to the commisary because I do not have all of the great mommy skills to distract 2 kids while filling a shopping cart..
My wife pulls the standard Mom/Wife shenanigans...she has an Agricultural Engineering degree and hasn't done an oil change since I have known her (she is technically more qualified to work on my truck than I am) She has been known to withhold sex to get a horse. (guess what, I get laid, she has a 16 hh thoroughbred at the farm) and has even been known to let the rugrats pile into the bed on my morning to sleep in (I get Saturday, she gets Sunday)
What does all this mean? We have a great healthy marriage, we have fun...and we like to bust each others nuts on AW/in public once in a while.
I don't know exactly how this devolved into me expecting my wife to wait on me hand and foot, crapping out kids, and walking one step behind and one to the right of me.
I was merely pointing out to other spouses that socialization is a neccesary component of the wardroom...and busting my wife's nuts about making me late to the bar.
So before pilotswife calls the cops on me for locking my wife up, Elegant Emily takes my unwanted kids from me, and keeper28 shows up at my door with a pair of oven-mitts for Mrs. Pickle y'all can chill out a little...
I let her leave the kitchen AND wear shoes today...
