Crappy wife vs. awesome wife

I've been doing a bit of drinking tonight and thought this would be a fun game!

I'm a crappy wife because...

I'm an awesome wife because...

Re: Crappy wife vs. awesome wife

  • I'm a crappy wife because...I just asked H to take the bus home from work because I didn't want to lose my parking spot to pick him up.  Embarrassed

    I'm an awesome wife because...I just made breakfast for the next week (blueberry bran muffins!), lunch for the next few days (bean burritos!) and dinner for tomorrow (chicken enchiladas!) PLUS I'm about to heat up the broiler for tilapia for dinner tonight.

  • Noron, will you be my drinking buddy tonight? What is your drink of choice? I started off with some red wine, and now I'm onto some mixed drink that SIL made me that has the beast of a monster energy drink.

    I'm a crappy wife because...sometimes I'm just so lazy. I sometimes make DH feel bad for not doing things, when in reality he does a lot. I also feel like things should be tit for tat...if he spends x on his races, i should get the same amount for whatever I like.

    I'm an awesome wife because... I support him in his venture to take over the family business. I feel like there is so much stress on me because I'm the "bread winner". Things with the farm are so back and forth, and I'm the real stability financially.

    Hahaha, sure - but I have to start cooking this tilapia when H gets home (in about 30 minutes). 

    I bought a twelver of a mix Twisted Tea today, and I've had the Midnight, Original and just popped open the Backyard Batch.  I don't have to go in to work until 3pm tomorrow, and that calls for a celebration!

  • ALSO, I'm the bread winner as well.  While I love that 1) I'm capable of supporting the both of us and 2) that he's no longer working nights, I feel way more pressure to find another, better-paying job.  Obviously this pressure comes from within and not H, and obviously I need another job either way - but I'd have more freedom with him still on nights at his old job, especially since he doesn't get insurance through the new job and he did at his old job.

    It is totally worth it to see how relaxed and happy this job makes him, though.  Awww.  

     Oh crap, the Twisted Tea is making me emotional.

  • I love twisted tea! back when DH turned 21 (I was 20)...he picked up a six pack of beer for himself, and a six pack of raspberry twisted tea for me..ahh memories.

    I love knowing that I can support us, but it's stressful. Especially when i wasn't sure what my job position would be like this year, and I'm the only one that can get insurance. ughh.

    hahaha we're currently blasting Eminem..nothing like crazy emotional music when you're drinking.

    Number one, I don't think Twisted Tea existed when I was 21, so that makes me sad.  I drank a lot of Woodchuck Cider.

    Yeah, H is on my insurance as well.  So yeah, I totally get it.  Empowering but scary.

    H is a HUGE Eminem fan, so he'd be jealous!

    Speaking of which, he's home so I'm out!  Have a good night!

    I'm a crappy wife because... if there is a sink of dishes when I come home, sometimes I'll take a nap on the couch until hubs comes home and he does them. 

    I'm an awesome wife because... I cook amazing dinners, will wear slutty lingerie, and *do that little thing he loves* like 3 times a week. 

  • I think Ashley wins for awesomest wife. Stick out tongue

  • hahaha yay! We need some other responses though :)

    Nora - dinner isn't ready until the smoke alarm goes off! 

  • I'm a crappy wife because...

    I haven't had a full time job since I moved in with DH three years ago, but even though I'm at home so much the house is always a mess.

    I couldn't think of anything so I asked DH. He says I'm an awesome wife because...

    I let him go to casinos and gamble for hours at a time when we're on vacation. I pick up after him and don't call him a slob even though he leaves his stuff all over the place.

  • i have decided to go with Danger, but yet to let H know just in case i change my mind....OHHH JUST GOT  A BIG KICK, when i typed that...

    Brayden Luca Danger Faul...

  • I am a crappy Nestiewife because I missed all the fun here.

    I am an awesome Nestie wife because we threw a party and I blew up our patio, proving I can still party and be awesome.

    OMG our smoke alarm in Miami was so sensitive.  It went off every time I made oven fried chicken.  And every time DH used the grill pan, but that was legit because the apartment fills with smoke EVERY time he cooks.  Even when he makes pancakes because he thinks is fine to spray Pam into a piping hot skillet.

    yeah, why do guys think that is ok? DH does it ALL.THE.TIME. I finally banned him from cooking (which I think is what he wanted all along).  

  • I wish I could ban DH from cooking, but he thinks he's a master chef.  He thinks he cooks better than me, but I've never seen him cook anything that came out good.  Decent, maybe, but not write home good.
