I love my husband (yadda yadda yadda) but he has NO sense of being quiet or thoughtful when someone is tired and trying to sleep. He clumps around like an elephant after I've gone to sleep at night or when I am trying to take a nap, or sends our daughter into our room to "say hi to Mommy!" (when of course once she sees me she'll insist I get out of bed). Whereas if HE were sleeping, I would totally do the Mission Impossible creep, I'll spirit away the child before she has a chance to make noise near him or wake him up... Just the little things women do without thinking of it-- the ways we're wired to sense people's needs and be mindful of them. And my husband truly just doesn't have that sense at all. It's not that he's actively trying to be mean, it just doesn't occur to him. Lord have mercy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
