My husband has never had problems sleeping at night. He always made fun of me when I would have problems falling asleep or staying asleep. He would sleep through the baby crying, a storm brewing. You name it, he would sleep through it.
Not me. I never sleep through anything.
Now? I think he is going through manopause. Yes, you read that right...MANOPAUSE.
He is crankier than normal.Wakes up at 2:00 am for no reason and can't sleep. Is wanting a bigger garden. It's scaring me a bit. I wonder when he will tell me that he wants a sports car or something like that.
And I am silently gloating. Outward, I am being the good, understanding wife.
"I completely understand, honey. It sucks not being able to sleep."
As I hold myself back from saying.
"Suck it up. Pull up your big boy undies and get over it."
I know, I am so wrong for being this way. But I still think it's funny as hell.
This is payback for all those nights I let him sleep when the kids were sick. For when I got up to feed the baby when he had to work a 12 hour shift. All the nights that I stayed awake to pick up the kids after a late dance or track meet. All the late night drives home from out of town soccer games BY MYSELF with the kids.
You know what they say....Paybacks are hell. And I am enjoying this. At least for now.
I hear my turn is coming.
