hi mummies,
i wasnt the one who started the fight.. hb was the one who triggered the whole thing... it was one thing leading to another n all accumulative..
yday was v day, i din even get a kiss or a "happy v day!" wish and i helped hb wash old bottles so tt we can retire them n change new ones and i did all the washing n sterilizng (usually tt his job) and was kept bz all night long with chores... when i commented tt i nvr even get a word of appreciation n thanks, he gave me tt frustrated n irritated look! then nvrmind... later he grumbled tt i din clear his chopsticks away after dinner! pls lor! how do i know whther u still wanna eat or not since theres lotsa left over food??? plus cant he see that i was bz all night n he cant even clear his own chopsticks???!!! best part is when he saw tt my used glass was left on the kitchen counter top, he grumbled to himself (thinking tt i cant hear) n put that into the sink but i din even leave tt there bcoz i was lazy or what but bcoz i wanna make another cup of coffee!!! its like i dun help him clear chopsticks is my fault (like small thing also cant help meh?? kinda attitude) then when its my turn (which in this case here is not), he can grumble... by the time i was done with the second round of washing bottles after dinner, it was past 12 mn n he was putting gal to bed... i tot he will help by keeping the playmat n her toys... no... he fell aslp alrdy... i was like boiling inside but told myself nvrmind... he probably dozed off (which later he claims tt he did)...
thne i went on to declutter my cupboard n gal woke up at 3am for a feed, i had to go into the room to wake him up to get him to feed gal. then i was trying to tell him how to assemble the new bottles bcoz i chnaged to 2 diff brands which we nvr use b4 and he said "cant u tok nicely??"!!! i was like ??? what is this??!!!! my tone was not lovey dovey but it was not angry nor rude lor... he expects me to still tok to him in a gentle loving way when its 3am n im not bathed n still going chores and sat and sun night i din get to slp much and whole of yday was faced with a whiny sick bb (and if u all rem, whose fault is that???)???!!!! and plus the earlier things tt happened during the night... that sentence sparked off a very heated argument lor... n i told him lotsa things im pissed with him.. like i feel tt why he cant understand me and hes not respecting me as a wife bcoz he nvr listens... oh ya... did i ever mention tt he has this perpectual habit tt when u tok to him, he wont respond (not even a nod or uh huh) to acknowledge tt he hears u ... n when u repeat urself n later ask him "do u hear me or not??" n he will ans with a frustrated "yes! i hear u alrdy!" and there were times, im too tired to bother to repeat n i just assumed he heard me n later whne things happen n i said tt i told him he will say that he din know bcoz he din hear me so cant fault him!!!! and this "non acknowledgement" only happens with me lor.. u tell me how to comm with a person like this??? u expect me to know whther u hear or not???? for times tt he hears, only half the info is in... lotsa times, he only does things halfway or gets half the things done bcoz he din hear the second part... im really very disappointed with him bczo i bet tt if its my fil toking, he will pay FULL and COMPLETE attention!!! each time i said tt, he wiill say that i nvr see dosent mean tt it din happen tt got times he also nvr hear his fil... pls lor... u wanna say like this i also cant argue with u lor... but i bet tt out of 10 times he nvr hear me, probably only 1 time or lesser probability tt he nvr hear his father!!!
plus, he doesnt like to read books so he nvr read up anything on childcare or related stuff,he said tt i go n read n i can summarise n teach him... so i did all the reading n research and find out from u mummies here for advice n such... but when times come tt i tell him tt its to be done this way, he will be stubborn n refuse to listen n wanna challenge me... n yet when other ppl tell him the same thing, he will accept!!! many times, he makes this comment of "everything is all u say one!" (什么都是你讲的!})bcoz he thinks that today i tell him do this way, tmr i tell him do another way... i had to tell him many many times tt the situation might seem identical but its not due to many factors and when i tell him how to do, he dun wanna listen then make this kinda commment!!!
classic eg recently: told hb tt we need to give gal a fixed bedtime as much as possible so tt she knows when to slp. then there was a night tt obviously my gal was not ready for bed yet n he just brought her into the room n forced her to slp, she cried non stop bcoz of tt (prev she was happily playing in the living room) then i told him tt y not u let her play a while more in the living rm while u drink ur coffee and i quickly go bathe then after tt i will put her to bed myself (since gal has no issue with me putting her in cot even if she doesnt wanna slp but as long as im next to her, she wont cry) then initially he din wanna listen n insisted on forcing her to slp... gal cried non stop lor... then only then he took her out to play a while... n he said everything is i said one!!... pls lor, y would u wanna make everybody miserable by sticking to so called ur ways of doing things??? u gotta be flexible with babies mah bcoz she is not a robot! not press this button def will always give u that same result all the times... if this way dun work, then gotta tweak a bit n do another way lah!!!
i just feel tt im unappreciated, taken for granted and def not on his list of top priority.. bcoz if i am, at least i will be heard...
