Double Standards

So, its Tax Return Time. Out come the W2s which bring up how much $$ my hubby and I each make. We both know I make the most out of the two of us, and its not a small difference. But this time of year when he might see it in print seems to be the worst.

My feelings are yes, I make more, but I am also gone more - I work further away and tend to put in more than 40 hours a week. He takes care of Kaylee more during the week and does a lot around the apartment as he has more time. I think its a fair trade. He doesn't. He doesn't like me paying his bills, or paying for stuff when we are out, or covering the larger part of the rent. I get away with it more now than I used to, we have a joint checking account and I can sneak extra money in without him knowing.

If I made less and did more at home it would be ok. However it doesn't work that way for him. Its that man must be the bread winner mentality. And it sucks.
I am a woman, but that doesn't make me less of a person... or vise versa. He is a great husband and father, and part of that is because he is home more during the week than I am.
And the worst part... I feel guilty about it all.
Evil social standards.....

The rest of the weekend

Well, when we did get back out on the coast we went to Denny's in Merrit Island. That was a mistake. They screwed up the order really bad,... and the waitress did not even realize. She got my bacon wrong.. which isnt too bad. But my husband ordered a dinner and was served a breakfast. The waitress did not even realize it, even though she took the order.

We picked up Kaylee at Mom's at 2am, came home and went to bed.

Today we went to Target and got food, and clothes, and a few other household items.
We have been cleaning a little, doing lots of laundry, and watching some TV the rest of the day.

Kaylee had some finger food, some little pastas and diced green beans. She had a grand old time with that. Made a bit of a mess... but that is ok, its bath night.

I have OS 4.1 on my Blackberry and I love it so far. There was something else on the BB side, but I can not recall it.

And the new diapers... Magicall is fine, just do not like the snaps. Bumgenuis is a great diaper. Wallypop is great too.

I survived . .

At least the truck show. Now let's are if we can get out of the parking lot. The whole thing was ok. I liked the monsters from 104.1. The trucks were ok. I wasn't overly impressed. The tickets for next year go on sale at midnight. I am going to guess my hubby will want some. I am going to avoid it if I can. Huge crowd wasn't worth it.
Now my hubby agreed to go to the theater or such with me. Where should I take him?
