Frustration

I know it's bound to happen from time to time, but this time I am truly pissed off at my hubby for acting stupid. It started a few weeks ago when I was offered a car seat from my brother to which we totally were thankful for since we were looking for one at the time. Last week, before I left to visit my brother, hubby says to me "you better get that car seat or I might as well go and buy one myself..." how rude is that? So rude...Anyway, I made sure my brother could bring it on my visit and I even got my other brother to install it for me.

I thought all was well, but when I got home the immediate response was, "why did you put it in that car?" Not a thank-you or anything. Well, not even a day went by without him taking it out of one car and putting it in another. I was puzzled by this because does it really matter what car it goes in? I kinda wanted it in the new car because I thought I'd be the one to drive that car more...Whatever, his reasons were wrong weight restriction, defected, more safety in the other car (which we both know is crap) and there's more space in the other car.

So, after he takes the thing apart, he can't put it together! He plays with the damn thing for a whole day and decides that it's defected and uses that as an excuse to go out and buy another one twice as expensive. Says, he's paying it out of his own money so, he doesn't care. I call up my brother to explain what happened and get him to show me how to put it in another day but my hubby keeps pushing the issue with him by asking him how to do it over the phone. My brother at this point feels so under minded and pissed that the work he did was not appreciated (which is true in part of my husband) and he obviously isn't going out of his way to help him over the phone.

I am upset because my hubby has no respect for my brothers...and in turn, none for me. Instead of explaining it to them, he makes me deal with getting it and then doing damage control. I am not going to speak for him. In fact, I told my brothers that he is stupid about the whole thing and the bottom line is, he wants the one he picked out because he feels it's better. I apologized to all involved. I am taking the old seat back tomorrow and hoping never to deal with it again. I won't ever ask for anything from my brothers if it involves my hubby anymore. I promise that much.

As for the battle over which car it goes in? At this point I really don't care, so long as my baby has a seat to sit in when I drive. It does make sense for it to be in the bigger car only because where ever she goes, so does all the other stuff. And it would be really hard for me to carry my school things with all her things in the trunk. And I would only have to drive the bigger car twice a week...If he keeps up with that bargain. See, I am reasonable. I will think about the situation and if I am wrong, I will own it and make a change.

I feel that my husband is a kid on certain things...He puts up a fit if he doesn't like something and eventually we all give in. Whatever. I feel sorry for him.
