But, seriously, pls do start mentioning your needs to her earlier. She’s prob juggling a million things and keeping on top of everything is no small challenge. Dropping everything to immediately get her whatever she wants.. a sweet kind noble loving gesture.. ultimately doesn’t serve either of you if your body gets out of sorts in the process.
Not sure how you react to hunger but low blood sugar does all kinds of things to people.. magnifying impatience, temper, and bad judgment.. arguments, car accidents, delays, & other consequences that impact multiple people. Hopefully you aren’t diabetic ‘cause I’ve seen much worse consequences for families with well-meaning loving men who seldom put their needs first or mentioned them. Mention hunger earlier so you two can work together on how to get *everyone’s* needs met in the least painful way. That’ll help her, you, & your cherub more in the end.
Too much from me, sorry. Concern not judgement. And I don’t ever want to diminish the struggles of loving hardworking new parents.
Laughed through the your Odyssey and imagining you out on that comedy scene. Mazel!
Maybe you're embellishing for comedic effect, but Amber being OK with you being OK with running out immediately for cookies when you still hadn't had your own supper is some straight up bullpucky. You can be a good husband and dad without giving up your own needs in the process.
My husband will do that and it drives me up a wall. I'll make an offhand comment about something that would be good to have, and he'll drop whatever he's doing to make me "happy." It's a bit infantilizing, as if I'm not completely capable of hopping in the car and getting my own ass to the store if I want something badly enough. "But I love you. I want you to be happy." What he's actually doing is giving me an excuse to move into year 5 of extreme "stay-at-home" measures, and it's not healthy for either of us.
Congrats on the rant honors! I'm the person who once told you that you're Georgia's answer to Lewis Black, and I remember how you seemed surprised and sincerely grateful. So it's great to see you get that recognition.
Hilarious and very Catskills-style 😹

She's got mom brain AND her second graders are driving her up a wall, she's got a good excuse to not be paying attention half the time lol
LOL, true enough.
I wanted to be half my age and marry you through that whole story, Corey!
This story stressed me out! 🤣 I would have eaten before going to the store and not even felt bad about it. Cookies are not an emergency! 🤣
Oy vey!
So...did you ever eat the chicken? Was it good? You didn't say!
Add “take my wife...please” as you ash your cigar at the end and you might just unlock time travel.
This was sooooo Catskills. Love it.

I assure you, I was sincerely grateful! Thank you, Tina!
