'hi we need bread, milk ohh and can you pick me up some......blah blah and I'll pay you back when i get my spending money' - (daughter)
or when I get up to walk through to the kitchen - all 3 of them shout
'move out of the way of the TV or get a glass a**e' - Hubby watching rex hunt
or
'bring me a beer through on your way' Hubby still watching TV
or
while you're in the kitchen just flick the kettle on and make a cuppa - daughter
or
mum while you're in the kitchen would you have a look at ..... and just do..... and then......
and if that is not bad enough when i return to my seat - some bugger has jumped in it and refuses to move - and it isn't the bloody cat -
I think I should share a place with the cat - the laundry cat that is - at least he gets left in peace and doesn't get all the crappy jobs

Not any more - made a stand - or rather a sit last night - and at first no one noticed - but as the evening grew - it became apparent.
I even had the cheek to ask hubby to pass me the remote while you get me a glass of wine....
His response is unprintable I'm afraid

That's not cheek in our house it's normal!!!
But it's amazing how easy it is to end up being taken for granted. I usually let it get so far and then make a stand, But hubby know's I'd just laugh at him if he was to request a beer without at least a damned good compliment attached! Seriously sounds like your clan need to have a bit of 'fending for themselves' so they appreciate the lady of the house a bit more!

When blokes want to rant about something, no-one ever asks them if they're hormonal, yet it's medical knowlege that men experience monthly hormonal cycles too.

More often than not I know when I am hormonal and it affects me in a different way - I just get mild depression and feel tearful.
now when I get angry and fed up - that is nothing to do with my hormones
