Wake the Fuck Up

Jill Smokler, AKA Scary Mommy

What started as an innocent on-line baby book to chronicle Jill's stay-at-home days with her children, (Lily, Ben, and Evan) quickly transformed into a vibrant community of parents, brought together by a common theme: Parenting doesn’t have to be perfect. Learn more here.

Of course you have heard of the book, Go the Fuck to Sleep. I would like to suggest a follow up, inspired by my husband…

 

———————————

The dishes are washed, everything tidy in its place
The leftovers boxed up, my dear, and the counters wiped away
I’ve asked you six times, don’t make me say it again
Please, for the love of God
Just empty the fucking trash can.

———————————

You work hard and need your rest
I do know that and care
But you slept all night and napped three times
You’ve more than gotten your share
It’s time to awake and get on with the day
Wake the fuck up already, you hear me OK?

———————————

You’ve been flipping for an hour
But have yet to pick a show
Could you be more annoying?
The answer is no.
Surrender the remote, I’ll ask one last time
or I’m kicking you out, on your fucking behind.

———————————

The day is getting dim
Soon it will be night
I can’t see a thing, my love
You have to know I’m right
I’m not as tall as you so I need your larger height
Would it kill you to change that fucking hall light?

———————————

I know you feel sick but I do as well
My nose is stuffy too
and my throat sore as hell
Please stop complaining
It’s just a little cold
So shut up and cope
You’re not that fucking old

———————————

I love you so much
I value what you say
But now I’m trying to sleep
And you’re keeping me awake
For the last time, my sweet,
I just don’t give a crap.
Enough already, really
Just shut your fucking pie trap.

———————————

I’m laying in bed, desperately needing my rest
You’ve been sleeping for hours
Happily passed out on your chest,
How are you so loud, I really don’t know
But if you don’t fucking stop snoring,
You’re gonna have to go.

———————————

Is this too much to ask,
from the man I adore?
I really don’t get why I’m so easy to ignore.
Start listening to me, that’s all there is to it.
Oh, and the dog needs a walk
Just fucking do it.

———————————

No, we definitely wouldn’t. Such garbage, it’s a shame an intelligent woman has nothing better to write about. Women wonder why their marriages are falling apart it’s because of this kind of attitude towards their husbands, no respect.

Love it! Unfortunately, we can all relate! My husband and the cat are starting to look like twins! The snoring! – My mom told me a neat little trick she does to my dad – when she can’t take the snoring one more second, she pinches his *nose closed and then he has to open his mouth to breathe. It works in most cases, unless my husband’s mouth is already open, and he’s doing that crazy sleep apnea type snore – then I just wake him up and tell him to roll over. *Don’t hold both openings closed at the same time. lol.

Dear God…so true, and so nice to know I am not alone. My friend recently had a baby, and she asked me “is it normal that I just kind of want to kick him in the head when the baby wakes me up for the third time that night, and he is still sleeping? And then he complains about how badly he slept. ” I simply said “yes, yes it is perfectly normal.”

Shut the fuck up
If all you can do is complain
If I have to listen to one more word
I’m going to go insane

Shut the fuck up
About what I have or have’nt done
By the way would it kill you to have dinner readywhen I get home

Shut the fuck up

You make mountains out of molehills, you idiot. Threatening to kick your husband out over the remote (even if you’re joking) is not cool.

“I’m not as tall as you so I need your larger height
Would it kill you to change that fucking hall light?”

Get a fucking ladder, do it yourself, and shut the fuck up. I’m amazed your husband has even stuck around this long.

You are a perfect example of an idiot. You think because a woman has her own needs and thoughts on the way her spouse lives and treats her that justifies him killing her. I doubt he was ever that nice behind closed doors. So when you read how he was a nice guy that killed his partner you can be sure nice is not a word you should use to describe him. donkey!

Wow! I feel for you…and your husband. Wow!

It sounds you and your spouse may want to have a talk…create some to-do lists or other working rewards for “good” behavior.

If you want to keep him “energized,” encourage him to pursue a hobby and maybe you should pursue your own. Guys like to see the final result, reflect on it, and have a beer while they admire what they created…even if it was a crappy job. We are wired differently, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a soft side. And no, this does not mean your husband is a child who needs motherly direction. The social pressures of women needing to be sexy, loving, and motherly are passé, just as the expectations of men to be strong, macho, and independent. Screw the social biases. The showing of respect and love is a two way street. Hopefully the two of you…and your children…can find positive and fulfilling outlets. I wish you the best. Hopefully you both can find a common goal, even if it is to go without drinking for several months and enjoy “workout/play” time with your kids.

Best of luck to you both.
