Ever since we had our first kid, my husband is constantly asking me questions.
“Do you know where ___ is?”
“How long do I cook this freezer meal for?”
“Does she need a diaper change?”
“Is ____ on our shared grocery list?”
…. So on so forth.
Does anyone else struggle with this? If so, what was your resolution? I’ve tried answering nicely and putting the question back on him, explaining how in this current stage of life it would be nice to have less mental stress, and other times ignoring the question and usually he figures it out. It’s exhausting because 9 times out of 10, whatever is being asked, I too, would need to ‘research’ to find the answer.
Tonight I finally reached peak irritation and said “I really wish you were able to problem solve on your own”.
Not my best moment.
We’re both on meds for differing reasons and honestly, I feel well regulated, but the fact that this issue has persisted (after multiple conversations) just really sets me off. Open to any and all suggestions.
(For additional reference, we’ve been together 8+ years and kid is >1.)
