...when DH loads the dishes once per week and then complains to me about how I let the dishes pile up. Really? I run, not one, but two loads of dishes almost every single day. Not to mention two loads of laundry, making three meals a day (mostly from scratch), paying all of the bills, cleaning the entire interior of the house, and taking care of two young children. Where does he get off lecturing me because he loaded the dishwasher once?!?
...when DH's Dad says, "Hey, Let's go fishing this weekend!" and DH says, "Sure!" without any thought as to what my plans were or that he could be spending that time with his kids, etc... I don't mind DH spending time with his Dad, but it would be nice if he actually thought about the rest of us before he makes his plans. I certainly don't have the luxury of making whatever plans I want without a backward glance. I'd love to see DH's face if I walked out the door one day (as he often does on the weekends) and said, "Bye, I'm going to coffee with your Dad!" and didn't take the kids or ask DH if he wanted to go.
Oh, and add to my list: People who think that anything they do or own is better than whatever you do or own. We went to a wonderful charity auction this weekend for the local library. Ran into some relatives and were mentioning what a lovely time we had. And they said, "Oh, the library auction is nothing compared to the PTO auction we're going to next weekend!" Really! What kind of person is so petty that they have to get competitive over which charity auction they are attending.

Of course, this comment was made by the same relative who when told that my wedding ring went missing recently (around the same time that I had a family get-together at the house) said, "Well, I don't think anyone stole it. It's not like your ring is expensive like mine."
Wow, that feels good! Thanks for listening.
