What is it about needing your validation, but not respecting what you say when you say it??
Two occurrences last night:
First:
Kid comes to my bathroom to use our spa tub because she said he could. I get it going and realize that the handle cartridge is leaking and so I tell him he can't use it because it will pour water everywhere. Kid is fine with it and understands, leaves to go upstairs to his own shower.
She runs into the bathroom 30 seconds later, yes runs
Her: Why won't you let him use it?
Me: I'm the one that tried to turn it on for him, what do you mean? It's not working, the cartridge is bad like it was on your sink a few months ago
Her: So you saw a leak? (proceeding to turn the bath on anyway) I don't see a leak
Me: It's where all that water that is pouring on your leg right now is...
Her: That's not that big a deal (Her leg is literally soaked with water)
Me: So now you see the leak at least and I'm not too incompetent to determine if there is one or isn't?
Her: Tone
Me: And, that's only a little bit of water because it's been on for 10 seconds and it takes multiple minutes to fill the tub. There will be a big puddle if your run a full bath and why on earth does he need to take a bath in our bathroom at 9PM after his bedtime??
Second:
Me two weeks ago: I want to go see Infinity Wars the first Friday it is out
Her: I have friends coming over and want to see it too
Me: You have confirmed people coming over?
Her: Well we said we might do it
Me: Well check and make sure please because the boys and I both want to go
Her: Ok
Last night happens
Her: Did you get tickets for the movie?
Me: No, you had people coming over, why would I have?
Her: Well they decided that night when I asked them that it wasn't a good night
Me: WTF? Seriously, so you knew two weeks ago and didn't say anything? Tickets are going to be sold out now
Her: Let's see if we can still go
Me, after 15 minutes of looking (while she sees me doing so): The only time that would work that isn't the front row is 8:25 and there is only the back row open
Her: I see a 6, a 7, I see all kinds of showings, let's just go to one of those instead. I don't want to be out that late
Me: Really?
Her: What? I just don't want to be out that late
Me: That's not the issue. The issue is that I just told you this was the ONLY time available that worked. Why would you assume the others ARE available?
Her: Well I see them.
Me: WTF. Clearly I've looked at those and deemed them untenable to our situation. Did you look and see if tickets were actually available?
Her: Well no, but they show the times...
Me: I'm going to just stop talking to you for a few...
