Do you work every day?
This has been bothering me for a few weeks now.
Mike and I went out to dinner with some family members (who will remain nameless in case they or other family members read my blog on the sly) and Mike was talking about all the overtime he’s been taking so that we can pay off our credit card bills and save for a house. While talking about taking extra hours, one family member turns to me and asks ” Do you work every day?”
Yes! Plus some!
Mike didn’t think anything of the question, but the timing was awfully suspicious and the tone wasn’t helping. It was like they wanted to know what I was doing with all my time while Mike was working extra hours. I should have asked why I should work when Mike’s working enough hours for both of us.
Am I overreacting or would you be offended, too? Would you have given a smart ass answer like I did?

Pft. My family is not speaking to me because I stood up for myself when they made nasty comments about me. Why can’t people (even family) focus on themselves instead of worrying about what others are doing with their lives?

Hi There, Stopping by from SSS
I’m sort of snarky and alot redheaded so i’d probably have come back with something smartaleck in response. It does sound like they were being a little rude at the very least so you are right not to like the comment i think. The main thing is, that your hubby knows that you do your part, no one else matters.
I’ve also chosen to BOO ya. Check my blog for details but it’s a nice thing

Laurie – that’s terrible! Things have been said on both sides of my family about us, but one side is a little more passive aggressive than the other, which really peeves me.

Nessa – you’re right, and my husband knows I’ve been floating his ass for years.
