The Wife's Word, the True Word, the Last Word

So my hubby seems to have a skewed sense of how things really work. $20 and hour for a babysitter? Who gets that much? And how do I apply for that job? Babysitters get $10 and hour. Yeah, maybe it would be quicker and cheaper to go to the movie by yourself, but how can you put a price on the time that we would spend together solidifying our marriage? People spend thousands of dollars to reconnect with their loved ones at special camps. I'm asking for a few hours to talk to my husband about something other than poopie diapers. He is always bummed that I am not interested in the same things as he is, so you think he would be happy I am taking an interest in his nerd movie. 

And what's this I hear about hot dogs and cheeseburgers? Dude with your high blood pressure you NEED me there to make you eat better. I am a pro at sneaking food into a theatre. I would make food at home just to keep you on track. I mean come on, you are worried about a little extra money for date night, but how much would a stint in the hospital from a heart attack cost?

So, my hubby learned his accounting from Enron, but he shouldn't feel bad about seeing a movie by himself. If I'm not worth 5 hours of his time, I'm sure I can fill that time slot with talking to his mother about how he ditched me and his baby.

was able to read your hubby's posting just fine, but yours are still getting cute off, so sad I can't read yours.

No Grandparents too watch the little one while you both escape to the movies? You both need to get away once in a while to escape, and have some relaxing time together. You probably can get a little conversation in as well while traveling to and from the movie. Just a bit of advice from a male perspective, don't tell him that you want "talk" or "discuss" as this seems to shut down a man's brain almost instantly. We don't like to hear that. It sounds like you are scolding us. Just do it while you two are together, and start off talking about something you both enjoy, like your baby. Then quickly shift it to whatever subject you like.

I am going to take a wild guess at the nerd movie, is it Star Trek? Because I want to see that too!
