It’s Mother’s Day and he decides to curse me out over toilet paper…
So we have a bathroom that doesn’t have toilet paper in it and I was using the shower in the one that does. So he’s banging on the door asking for toilet paper and I tell him to wait or at least use the wipes I have for my daughter since those are available.
And honestly I’ve been there in that same bathroom with no toilet paper but I didn’t crash out and yell and scream I just used what I had which was paper towel (Ik gross but you gotta use your resources…) anyway he’s banging on the door and I feel like he’s basically upset because I have the door locked. Which I do for safety reasons like what if a killer comes in or a murderer while I’m showering?
So that is some sort of barrier against danger and I’d have reaction time to act and the door would slow them down. Anyway I do get out after he’s yelling about the toilet paper and banging on the door to give him some toilet paper but he’s not even there waiting when I do open the door! So I just try to say I’m leaving the toilet paper on the bed if he still needs it and I go back in the bathroom to dry off.
Idk maybe I should’ve hopped out the shower immediately but I felt like he could’ve waited after I said I was going to come out in a bit to give him some toilet paper. Instead of throwing a tantrum and cursing and just stomping around. Maybe we should have more toilet paper lying around that’s my bad it’s mostly in our one bathroom. And maybe I should not lock the door but I guess idk I like it locked for safety reasons. So now I feel bad on Mother’s Day because I’m never appreciated by anyone especially those who claim I’m close with.
Because then after he’s like oh this is why no one says happy Mother’s Day to you or says you’re doing a good job as a mom because I hadn’t gotten out of the shower fast enough to give him toilet paper. So now I haven’t left the bathroom after he’s upset and yelling, and just crashing out at 8am in the morning over toilet paper. And I just worked a 12 hr shift so I need sleep since I have to work again tonight. But I’m too afraid to step out of the bathroom or else he might get upset and yell again.
