My partner and I ended up having a fight.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
So just to recap, Bree gave us a challenge that
we would go home and greet our partners with more
positive energy and coming happier. Yes, and rather than coming
in a bit, hi, just and sit the intention y
s So how did yours go?
Speaker 4 (01:04):
So I didn't have the option of coming home like
I was the one already at home, So let me
just sit the scene. Right. So yesterday, obviously we're doing
breakfast hours at the moment, which can be brutal because
you're getting up super early. But I've been trying to
push myself and do as much around the house as
I can and like do bits and bobs just to.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You know, be useful.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Anyway, yesterday, after seven months, our new couch got delivered,
which you'll hear about in the other podcast, but anyone
would know. So they deliver this couch and it's a
big couch and there's lots of cardboard, there's all this
you know, coverings and all this kind of shit. Anyway,
so I didn't take it with them. No, so I removed.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Are you going to do a bad Google reviews?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
I removed our old couch and then lugged it from
our living room all the way back up into the
into the garage.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Hello.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
No, I had a friend to help me do that part,
because I had because I couldn't do it by myself.
And then anyway, and then unpacked this entire new couch,
vacuumed everywhere, set up the couch so that it was like,
you know, nice and organized for when my partner got home.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Anyway, I was sitting on the couch. She walks in.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You tell me if I've overreacted. You tell me if
I've overreacted. So the dogs, I had a blanket down
and the dogs were on the blanket on the new couch.
But they were completely on the blanket. All good, and
they have been.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
At school, so they are a bit smelly.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
But the wek yeah, no, but she's been washed since then,
she's feeling better, thank god. But they were laying on
the on the tower, on the blanket and my partner
comes in.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
First thing.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
First thing she says to me, I have those dogs
had a wash? Not being on the new couch if
they had a wash?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And how did you react?
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Not well?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
So two things. Yeah, she obviously didn't listen to the
podcast yesterday. Obviously not. She wasn't taking the greet your
partner with no, I might send it to her. Send it.
That's a great passive aggressive way to deal with it.
I was I was cuban because I was like and it.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Comes back to what we talked about. Everybody needs to
check themselves when you first arrived home.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
It's just because I was the even if even if
she had been like, oh my god, it looks amazing,
You've done such a good job.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Should we have the dogs on the couch?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
If?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
And I mean they were on a blanket. But but
it was just because it was the first thing, was.
Speaker 2 (03:46):

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Mate?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
I'm I'm definitely guilty, but still it wasn't me this time.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So I was angry. So I also didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Oh because as I was leaving, I got a text
from my wife because my daughter's and so she was home,
and she sent me a text to say that she
was nap trapped. Which nap trapped if you don't have kids,
is where the child falls asleep.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
On you and you do not move. Don't worry. It
happens with dogs.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You do not move, You don't do anything. You get
that child, especial if they're sick, as much sleep as
you can. And she text me and she said, don't
come in the way you usually come in, which is
boisterous and loud, so you can't do it. Crept into
the house.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You can do it today. Then I can do it today,
nice Ellie.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
So I'd forgotten about it. But as Sam opened the
front door for me, as as I saw his face,
it all came back to me that we had this
mission to do, so I think what he saw was frozen.
Hi missed you and he's.
Speaker 2 (04:44):

Speaker 2 (05:27):
And I text her I got you're late, and then
I say, yes, I would love a tank. She goes,
who's getting you a tank? I go you, thank you.

and then my body and just a grimlin. So I'll
do a bitter today.

to do?

So when I do manage to.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Be on task or I do manage to get things
done that normally I really struggle with I am proud
of myself, and then if my partner doesn't recognize that,
then it pushes me back and be like, oh, well.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Totally your point if you and the other thing with
ADHD is you can end up if you're going to
do something or you've done something, and if someone asks you, hey,
can you do that thing, you end up going I've
already done it, I'm going to do it, and now
I don't want to do it because you.
