Men!!

[Freya]

My OH had both children for 3 hours today - I normally only work half a day but today I had to work a full day so he took half a day off.

When i got home he was dead moody.
Anyway he has just said that both of them are hard work. Hurray at last a bit of understanding of what I do

Thing is he just 'looked after' both of them. When I have got them I cook, clean, iron etc. etc. and when he gets home tea is ready they are bathed and ready of bed. I have done homework with daughter and reading etc. etc.

I tell you men have it soooo easy. I am now planning when I can leave him with both of them for the day

Did you see the joke I posted the other day? I'll post it again:

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still
in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and
wrappers strewn all around the front yard.

The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the
house and there was no sign of the dog. Proceeding into the entry, he found
an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was
wadded against one wall.

In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the
family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing.

In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on
the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on
the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand
was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of
clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or
that something serious had happened.

He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the
bathroom door.

As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys
strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and
toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls.

As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the
bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and
asked how his day went.

He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"

She again smiled and answered, "You know every day when you come home
from work and you ask me what in the world I do all day?"

"Yes," was his incredulous reply.

She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

My OH had my 2 for the first time on Saturday between 10 and 4. He did ok, it sounds like they had fun, but there was no dinner on the table when I got home
