The Mommy Wife

My coworker that just got married was speaking to me about her husband loosing his birth certificate. Unfortunately they wanted to travel outside the US to visit family. She is running around trying to get a copy so they can renew his passport. I wondered why he was not doing this for himself. It made me think of stuff that I dd for Pat that maybe he should be handeling for himself.

for instance, Pat's second wisdom tooth has not yet been removed. Apparently the first one did not hurt enough. I have reminded him a few times and I'm done. He is definitely old enough to make his own appointments. If he wanted to get the other wisdom tooth out before it started hurting he has had a few reminders.

I have been taking a stand (mostly) lately. If it's important Pat will do it himself. A few reminders are ok but he can take responsibility for himself.

On a similar note, Pat does not like to clean. I am sick of asking him. So to solve my problem I made a fairly detailed chore chart. when we do a chore we put a sticker by the item. He will easily be able to see what needs to be cleaned (why a list is needed I'm not sure but bear with me) and clean it. Hopefully this will help with the distribution of labor.

*I feel that I must add that Pat does clean the kitchen on Saturday mornings without being asked most weekends, and cooks 1-2 nights a week. Who does the rest, I'm not sure.
