Being a good spouse - Tip #2

For all you guys out there. Just a little tip - if you want to be a good spouse to your wonderful wife who has recently carried around for 9 (almost 10) months then given birth to your child - DO NOT blame your wife's bad mood on post partum depression and think you're going to get away with it! Your wife is probably in a bad mood because she's exhausted from working a full time job, taking care of a new house, and caring for a newborn baby. Not to mention you're probably driving her crazy........Sorry, had to rant and vent a little bit. Husbands, ugh!!!!
MrGolightly and I have had our share of troubles lately especially with the stress of a new baby, a new house, and all the responsibility (mainly financial) that comes with both. Throw in all those Murphys that move into your spare bedroom (that's what my Dad says about Murphy's law - if you have a spare bedroom, Murphy's gonna move right in) and life's been real tense recently. Now I must admit that I have been extra moody lately but it has nothing to do with the baby, the house, or post partum depression or even PMS for that matter - it all has to do with MrGolightly. Of course that option would never cross his mind. To him:
Bitchy wife + just had a baby= PPD. Just a thought men, if your wife is bitchy would it kill you to try to care for her and maybe get to the bottom of it?

Being a good spouse - Tip #1

Want to be a good spouse? Just a tip - if you are at home especially with children and especially if those children are newborn babies, if your spouse is out of the house at work, shopping, fulfilling community service requirements, or whataver - ANSWER THE DAMN PHONE! You know how your Mom used to say, "I didn't know where you were, you could be dead in a ditch somewhere..." Well if I was dead in a ditch somewhere and I'm needed to call you for some help, it would be nice if you could answer the phone. If I'm not dead in a ditch somewhere, I may just be calling to check to see how things are going. You are afterall, currently at home in the care, custody, and control of my first born child who, if you haven't noticed, I'm really fond of and have a great concern for. So to summarize - want to be a good spouse - just answer the phone if your significant other calls you. And if you can't answer right away, give 'em a call back soon as you can. Thanks.
