interviews arent fun for some people, some people can nail them , and others go into this nervous blank mode.

he very well may not be remembering it , due to how he processes interviews.
you guys have a kid and home, a new job is stressful, providing for your family can be nerve wracking.

he probably feels a whirlwind of emotions/thoughts right now if hes a nervous interviewer, if he feels he did poorly or is over analyzing everything he said and did,
while you maybe excited to talk about it, he feels as if youre interrogating him or machine gunning questions at him and he hasnt had time to digest.
he very well maybe being an asshole im not there, but the way i think its like, is more like hes trying to digest before he opens up

id say give him some time eventually he will tell you hopefully and hopefully you dont explode like a little kitten who just got 5 pounds of catnip and some yarn balls

Nailed it. lol

That is why I am staying away.

Why are men such assholes? How the fuck do they go from caring to IDGAF so fast?

They gotta be wired differently.

Someone has to be

I know. It just sucks.

I spent like an hour yesterday trimming his beard, shaving his neck, giving his cheeks a close shave and cutting his hair.

I went to the store and got him the undershirts he wanted and washed his dress clothes.

I kept the stress inside so I wouldn't make him nervous. I just kept telling him he looked nice and he looked handsome and so on and so on.

Men suck sometimes lol.

From this post alone, I am wondering if he's feeling mommy'd? I don't mean any disrespect to your wifing skills FP but sometimes IME there's a fine line w/ our men between wanting to be taken care of and being mothered. Especially when they are feeling vulnerable in some way.

I'd take Sunni's advice and give hime space. Maybe with all the well meaning help from your parents (interviewing skills) and you helping him w/ wardrobe, etc, he's feeling weak, and insecure that he may not get it even after he did his best.

I know you mean well, and your heart's in the right place. Just give support and space right now. Also validate that he's a great man and husband.

speaking of husbands my needs to get his ass outta bed and go do his job. brb.

Lmao, that was apt as fuck sunni.



Whatever happens, I hope he gets the job in the end, FP. Best of luck to you and your hub.



I'm preparing to go hike Mount Rainier tomorrow with the lady friend.
I'm excited as fuck! Should be a great day of stoney laughs and beautiful scenery.

Will take some pics to share with my fellow interweb freaks. : )

He wanted me to do it. He wanted to look like he came straight from the barber. He's not big on maintaining his beard (and he also just started wearing it that way) and he wanted to make sure it looked right.

I watched my dad shave almost every morning growing up. I got that shit down to a science.

He has a job so I had to go get him the undershirts. Doing laundry is my duty as a housewife.

I get you don't mean any disrespect.

In his family, the wife grooming the husband is a sign of love and respect.

That's so not true, that doesn't sound like my style of conflict resolution at all - - - but did I mention I get to quote a large mechanical overhaul today.

I'm always wrong, I'm getting used to it LOL

........snip.........

Men suck sometimes lol.

One thing they can do very well isn't it. I just wish they'd do it with greater frequency.

Yes yes. I got that. I was just sharing what my guy and I have discussed when it comes to how guys think. I do all the wifely stuff 'round here too Again, wasn't meaning it as anything you were doing wrong, just maybe how he was receiving it. Sometimes no matter how hard we try to be a good wife, they can take shit the wrong way. it's all good

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

FP - It is also possible that Hub feels that he might have done less than his best and is letting you/Esther down.
If I felt that way I'd clam up & let it cook for a while.

Just a thought.

 

[Flaming Pie]

Thanks guys. It is good to vent instead of bottling.

Anything new in your worlds?

Fancy pack n play? Pic or link?

Those things are awesome. Perfect safe spot for baby to sleep or play while you get things done around the house. Easy to clean too.

Plus when the baby gets older, you can leave it at a family members house as a crib for overnight stays or naps while visiting. Both of our parents have one.

Esther is potty training now and has a little potty for herself that she uses 1-2 times a day now. She tries to dump the pee in the toilet herself. Yesterday I was on the phone with alex and she dumped pee all over herself.

Bath time!

These are the things in my amazon cart currently for Esther's gifts. Thinking about getting some doll diapers too because my mom is getting her a baby doll.

And some books.

Esther hanging out with her favorite pal. She loves helping with the baby. It is so cute to watch her being so gentle and motherly towards siya.
