I've been looking for a good spot for my little rant so I guess this is the place...
Setting:
Kitchen, this morning, family getting ready for work and school.
Son and I are standing when husband bursts in back door with puppy on leash:
"Here, do something with this, she won't do anything (potty) because of another dog outside" - then slams door.
I hand leash to son: "I guess take her leash off and put her back in her pen".
I go outside to put things in my car, notice husband down by the street throwing a stick toward a small, black dog.
I go back inside to finish getting ready.
Bedroom
I hear angry husband yelling at son: "I thought I told you to take her outside!"
I'm thinking: I thought he said....
My son said: "I thought you said...."
Husband yelling: "That puppy is GONE if you can't take care of her like you said you would!"
Husband bursts in the bedroom and I say: "It's my fault, you handed us the leash and I told him to take it off and put her up..."
He says: "No I didn't, I told him to take her out. I had to get rid of that other dog. She has to go to the bathroom!"
I said: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you...."
And as usual, I got cut off: "What is there to misunderstand?!" and blah blah de blah blah!
I hate that I can't figure stuff out, that I de-code incorrectly, when I'm just trying my best. And I hate how angry he gets when I don't remember things he told me, or when I don't use common sense sometimes. Why does he have to be so angry, though? It's not like I yell back, or don't pay attention on purpose! It's hurtful.
