Sometimes I feel like I’m the only capable adult in this household. Even though there are several other grown-ups here, nobody can be relied upon for anything, it seems. I’m the only one who holds a full-time job, goes grocery shopping, or cleans any part of the house. Meanwhile, my wife and lazy children lay around and stare at their phones most of the day. Recently, I almost completely lost it when I asked my wife if she could do one simple task… And the answer was no. I knew that the heating and cooling system needed its yearly service appointment so that the air conditioner could operate in tip-top shape all summer. Unfortunately, I had a pretty busy schedule coming up between work and the rest of my responsibilities. I wasn’t going to have much of a liability to wait for the heating and cooling technician to arrive, diagnose in the cooling system, and make any necessary repairs. I asked my wife if she could simply be at the house and let the HVAC worker in when he arrived. I would call the heating and cooling company and take care of the rest. She acted insulted that I didn’t believe in her reliability for the simple task of opening the door when the air quality control specialist arrived. And then, she slept in and completely missed the heating and cooling appointment. I was at work when I got her panicked phone call, informing me she was still in bed and the HVAC appointment was supposed to take place 2 hours earlier. She slept through the entire morning and never heard the HVAC truck pull up. Sigh. It’s so weird, why do I feel like I’m the only adult in the house?
