How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Tips for the Hubby. . . How To Unleash Your Super Power

in Lifestyle on 10/24/18

I am a girl.

A romantic, spoiled, sometimes whiny girl.   I can own that.  Hangry happens.

I am also strong-willed, independent, courageous and decisive.

What, I can’t be both?

Here’s the kicker…

When I hit my PMS, having a bad day, the world has me down, I feel lonely in a house full of people, and ugly despite new hair, new clothes, and new mani-pedi….  (even though LOGICALLY everything is just fine)

It’s time for you to step up, take the bull by the horns, bite the bullet. Be my man because you have a superpower you may not be aware of….it’s a power to HELP!!

Here it is.  Your actions can make or break my day.

Don’t ask me what’s wrong because I don’t freaking know.

Don’t ask if I’m PMSing.  That will just make it uglier.

Don’t laugh when I cry my eyes out at the latest American Express Commercial.  Hand me a Kleenex.

Just hold me.
Hug me.
Bring me chocolate or flowers for no reason.
Rub my back as you walk by.
Tell me a dumb joke.
Empty the dishwasher or vacuum the floor, without me nagging for help, I hate those jobs.
Pick up dinner on the way home from work.
Tell me you love me, love our life, our kids, our world.  I know you do, just tell me again.
Tell me everything is going to be all right.
Send me a sweet text or e-mail!  You won’t belive the power of that text.

Tap into your “superpower”…figure out what I need, because honest to God I don’t and insider tip, I’m one burnt casserole away from a nuclear meltdown.

I just need you to look into my soul and become…..Senor Mind Reader.

Sigh.

Thanks, Hun.

      It’s like every woman is married to the same man, just in a different costume

      Having 4 grown daughters along with myself, hubby instinctively knew when to grab us chocolate BEFORE all the dang meltdowns!! Praise be 🙂

      “Don’t ask me what’s wrong because I don’t freaking know”

      Yes to all of this, but especially the chocolate (or sour candy) either one is good to me! And a back-rub too! Or watch the kids while I soak in a hot bath with a good book.
