I haven't done a Showcase Sunday for a while and I thought it would be a good time for one. Especially because myself and the Good Lady actually chatted about this subject last night. She confirmed that the idea really did fill her with horror :0)
Daddy-Bear, can we have a chat?
I froze. Oh-oh, here it was. The moment I had been dreading. Had she found my secret bin in the attic? What about the emergency cigarettes in the garage?
Oh noes. Please don't let it be the wasp jar? Flippity flip, or those discord messages from the Croatian girls?
I looked up from the wooden block tower building I had been building to surprise the Little Boom and tried to act entirely innocent of all of the above.
The Good Lady came into the lounge and took a seat.
She didn't look mad. Which was a plus, then again sometimes the worst volcanic eruptions come from the quietest of sleepy volcanoes.
Chat, lass? What about? I'm always available for a chat!
I said cheerily whilst thinking the exact opposite.
The Good Lady chewed her lip for a moment, seemingly with indecision. Then she nodded imperceptibly and spoke.
I have been thinking a lot lately and I was wondering... Have you ever considered switching roles?
I raised an eyebrow as if a Goose had gotten into the kitchen and was pecking my underpants out of the washing machine.
Oh dear. The 21st century had a lot to answer for. This damned gender fluidity and ever-increasing letters to add to the LGBTQPSRSTUVX+ etc.
What!?? Wear a fucking dress and clip-clop about the house in high heels?
I said as sensitively as I knew how.
Hmm. I mean, it might have it merits but to what end?
The Good Lady took in one of those breaths and let it out in a controlled sigh.
No, that is not what I mean as I am sure you well know. I mean our roles in the house.
She said patiently.
I tilted my head to the side and made a Hnh sound.
I mean me get a bloody job and you stay at home to look after the kids?!
She skrawked.
Oh.
That stopped me in my tracks.
I had a think.
Me, stay at home and drink coffee whilst doing house chores? Putting the odd bit of washing on and watching television?
Going to the park and making hee-haw noises with the local mummies when they talked about the fat hairy man in the local swimming pool?
She had me.
I looked at her to see if she was serious.
She was looking back at me defiantly.
Hell, she was serious.
Fuck yeah let's do it. I have never heard of a better idea in my entire life!!!
I trilled excitedly like a budgie on a stick.
The Good Lady looked taken aback.
What!? Really? I thought you would be mad?
She said hesitantly.
Mad? Me?? Hells no. Let's go baby girl. Let's do this thing!
I whooped, spanking my own bum and pretend riding an invisible horse.
Erm, well, let's think about it properly first, eh?
She said slowly.
I nodded.
Of course.
Ha, somehow, I don't think she's is quite so keen after all...
Ah... she didn't want to take over the beer drinking and burping part.
Lol. She definitely doesn't fancy that part :0)
'Me, stay at home and drink coffee whilst doing house chores? Putting the odd bit of washing on and watching television?'
And what about a DAILY beer review, instead of only once a week?
Man I'm already looking forward to it.
Wahahahaa!!! Now that works be a fine thing. A decent into madness!!!
Every mans dream, until you are scraping turd off clothes before sticking them in the wash.....
Maybe the good lady is serious though? :D
Hey, if you have any troubles with the Croatian girls, I can help with that.
I got a ping from one last night! I ignored or even though I was half pushed. Vote hunting in a novel way!
I have thought about it loads, it would be fecking awesome!
I've had one from Italy and one from America recently trying to get me to sign up to what looks like a Bitconnect clone, yikes!
Stay home dad does sound awesome in theory, got to wonder why she wants to swap though - must be some terrible jobs somewhere?!
Lol. I had one trying to get me to sign up to some site that promised give returns. You are right, it will be the next bitconnect! Ah those were the days.
I think she is going mental with the boredom even more so now that there is no escape elsewhere!
Dude. Those jeans make your butt look fat. I just thought you should know.
Oh noes, now I will have to go back to the hard crackers!!!
Still pretty sure you'd be regretting it if you did ;D
Yeah, that's one bluff I wouldn't be following through! :0)
Hey friend @meesterboom, today is mothers day and you receive the gift. Hooray.
Well apparently it was a gift for a short time. calm maybe I know dear friend
I wish you a great week
I can't wait to see what the gift is for father's Day then!! ;0)
I know it sounds perfect, but I think both of you will be surprised at how different it is. The grass is always greener. Do watch out for the goose though.
One must always watch out for the goose!!
I do agree, the grass seemd always greener and the amazing thing is that it is rarely so!
It looks so good from the other side of the fence, but trust me, it's not all it's made out to be. I never got in with the car pool or soccer moms.
Talking to yourself brings answers after days and days of it and they're not usually of the helpful variety. Being home alone did have it's perks but that's not a probable event anymore.
I say if you can get out in the world and work these days, count it as a blessing. It kicks my butt, but I need a good kicking to stay in shape. :)
I am in the same boat. I really don't want to be trapped at home all the time. I love my kids but I think I would go bananas if they were all I had to talk to all day!!
you should allow her to switch role with you. i think it is a good idea as you wont have to keep doing the same task everytime
Switch roles!! Steady!! Not like that!!! :0D
Say Boom, you dont reckon she is meaning in the boudoir as well??? ;)
Oh my! One can but hope!! Oops, I mean, outrageous!! There's only one man in that bedroom!!! :0D
Sometimes it just pisses you off when a good fight goes south, doesn't it?
I'm sure Mrs. Boom was ready for a 12 round main event and you didn't even get to the betting line. You probably should have given at least token resistance.
Haha, she probably was rariing to go and I managed to stop her dead. I am sure she will get revenge, lol!! :0)
Jeremy Kyle all day, what a life!
He's done!! Isn't he? I ain't so up to date on the daytime TV as you ;0p
LOL, I don't know, has he been kicked off? It used to be Jerry Springer with the gay, sisters, bi-sexual, mum's neighbour who likes men but only transexuals. Does that make complete sense?
Has, that did make sense. Jerry Springer was always the original. Old Jeremy is but a more bitter shadow of that
a different style and interesting
Oh, do it! Do it!!!!
Then report back. You'll be paying your allowance just to work with El Jeffe again.
Every mans dream until you are scraping turd off clothes before sticking them in the wash...
Ah, yes. Don't take @abh12345 dream away.
You two tap Croatian girls? OMG... I need to stop reading into these posts.
