And when I say it hurts you say wah wah wah
and when I say I need help you say its only going to get harder
and when I say I need my back rubbed you think it means you’re getting lucky
(and if you figure out you’re not, it a cursory pat on the shoulders and off you go)
and when I say I need you to help transport the kids you say you can’t
because its workout night
or lost is on
or wrestling is on
or you have a pay per view
or you have a softball game
or or or

I go to work I come home I do for the kids and even for you.
You go to work you come home and you do for yourself.
*
you tell me to go meet people, make friends.
I can’t even remember how to do that at this point.
and I can’t just take off and go, leave the kids to fend for themselves, as you find it so easy to do.
If you aren’t going to be home,
I won’t schedule anything because the responsibility is to the kids.
I don’t go out to dinner and movies leaving kids home to fend.
I don’t go out to pay per view leaving the kids home alone to near midnight.
I don’t go out to play softball.
I don’t use watching television as an excuse to come home early or not go anywhere at all.
