after my wife this morning went on and on about my so-called short memory span and how she's going to have to get me looked at cos I'm going doo-lally and forgetful.... (I just have male selective deafness, most of the time) she then went off to work forgetting to take her lunch bag and juice bottle. Schadenfreude or what !! However it will all backfire on me when tonight it becomes my fault that she forgot them. How, I can't yet imagine, but I bet it'll be worth hearing. It usually is.
Sounds EXACTLY like my missus. She is an ex teacher and getting her to admit she is EVER wrong is nigh on impossible. If she breaks something, even if I was in another room at the time it is because "it should not have been there in the first place you must have left it there"
Blimey, my wife IS a teacher ! What is it about them that means they are always right and the rest of us always wrong? Suppose it's something to do with their work environment which then gets brought home. And why do they always think it's ok to talk to everybody IN A VERY LOUD VOICE ?? I can hear (when I want) my wife above five Tornados and ten Eurofighters on afterburner.
I've a sister, a brother and a sister-in-law who are exactly as you describe. It must be something they are taught at TTC.
To be fair to my Mrs, she'll admit when she's wrong, she even remembers the exact date to the day that she once did it.
No doubt it will be your fault because she will claim she was so busy trying to manage your responsibilities so you didnt forget x and y, that she forgot her own. I feel your pain
I keep the washing basket down thro the week, popping a load on when it gets enough then on line or tumble dryer "ALL YOU DO IS CREATE IRONING" is the call that rings in my ears.
