I scream that at my spouse on a regular basis. I lost my job 4 1/2 years ago and the natural progression of our lives was for me to become a stay at home dad, not a WIFE! I am happy to cook, vacuum once every 2 weeks, and let in the cleaning lady the other weeks. But I am not a wife, gay relationships do not need to mimic straight relationships. But every now and again when my spouse tries to turn me into his mother (no jokes! not in the bedroom!) I scream MY NAME IS NOT ANNETTE (that’s my mother-in-laws name in case you didn’t figure that out).
And yet, I made chicken cutlets tonight and he doesn’t like them thick. So who’s the jerk that pounds the chicken cutlets as thin as he can get them without breaking them (you know I break them half the time cause I am thinking about him when I am hitting those poor birds with the mallet!)? Me. And who’s the jerk that takes the chicken off of the bone before serving roast chicken because my spouse and his siblings were not brought up with any foods on the bone? Maybe my name is becoming Annette? Aaaarrgh! Isn’t marriage frustrating!
