    Tantrum? do tell
    I posted it last night lol... About 11ish... He was playing Scene it on xbox live and getting beaten (by a girl too) and turned the xbox off in frustration... I told him he was a child and he stropped off... Then it follows the usual pattern of, I refuse to pander to his tantrum and he refuses to speak to me... I call this his 'punishment' time... Then he'll find an excuse to talk to me... I take the mickey out of him mercilessly... And all is right with the world ;) Does take a little time though... Depends on how long his 'punishment' silence lasts... Was a good one last night... And because he'd stropped off to bed... I kept dropping off to sleep lol... He had to turn his bedside light on in the end to make his point...Then it went something like this...

    Me: Have you still got a strop on?
    Him: I don't know what I've got on...
    Me: Is it ladies underwear?

    Cue a faint smile... And I treated him the same as I do Aimee when she strops off... Start laughing and they can't help but join in...

    Can't wait till this baby comes... Then I'll have 3 children to deal with... :rotfl:

    Grrrr. We have a to do list of stuff. It is long and unwieldy (30 large-ish Things To Do on it), and in a Google document we can both edit, because I am just that sort of geek.

    Every night I move stuff from the "must be done" list into the list for the following day. There were eight items on the list for today. I have cleared off four of them. Three of them are his jobs, one of them we're just waiting for someone to turn up and collect a book. Is he doing the stuff off the list? No. He is playing with my new Wii and not only not letting me play but also not getting stuff done.

    Just because he made me a fishstick sandwich and some oven chips for lunch he thinks he can spend the day sitting playing with my new toy and not wrangling the bug infestation so that I do not have to take off my slipper and start whapping every time I venture down that end of the apartment?! Gah.

    Sugar... Do you know where the fuse box is? Can't play with a Wii if there's no electric ;)

    :rotfl:He would probably implode with rage if I did that. I was under the bed sweeping out the cat hair (enough under there for another cat on top of the cat's worth of cat hair I cleared out the other day. I hate that he's a Persian) and the Wii beat him at something. He said, I'm annoyed, and I muttered, Why's that? Are you cleaning by yourself while your beloved spouse messes around instead of helping?

    He's in the kitchen now making ostentatious cleaning noises.

    ooh Krystal ur just like my Hubby and I hate it :p
    Whenever I have my strops I follow up with punishment silence too (I'm like soo mature don't ya kno) Hubby always trys to hug me or something and I stay all huffy then he tickles me or makes a joke that I have to laugh at and he steals my mood!
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
