It would break most.
The fact that I'm still standing is a miracle, really.
I'd like some appreciation from my spouse, but I won't get it.
So I'll move on and contend myself with calling him a barnacle head under my breath.

It does.
So for now, I'll just call him a barnacle head.
This is about how it goes in this house(up to the part Squidward says 'barnacle head').
Some people don’t have any perspective about the occupation that a housewife has.
Tourists can be dumb.
I admire that fly’s generosity toward Homer. It just keeps going back to be hit. Over and over and over and over.
He used to.
I think he struggles with what having his housewife also be full time caregiver(and I mean full time, I sleep on the floor near my son so I can hear if anything goes amiss) to a severely disabled child looks like.
It might mean I fight off a violent episode for a few hours. This drains all a person's mental and physical resources for awhile. It means constant contact between medical professionals. It means constant supervision. Constant. It means putting aside one's own needs(including restroom sometimes). I won't tell you how long I can go without a bath sometimes because I am so involved with child care. And then, there is the non disabled 5 year old to deal with, who requires the normal time and energy young children do. SO, if the house is untidy, its untidy. My dad offered to pay for a maid service for us. Then he doesn't want that because they might steal, judge us, or, if its a man, he'll hit on me(apparently).
So, he takes the stressors of being denied access to a 'normal' life out on me. According to him, I peed all over the toilet seat(rather than the 5 year old that struggles with aim), I crushed chips(a kind I don't like) all over the floor, I dirty every dish in the house all by myself, and I throw my soda bottles under my desk(guilty on that last one!
) (I also wear his clothes and leave them around, eat his food and leave the packages lying, and open up cans of energy drink that matches the one he drinks and lets them sit half full to get knocked over, because he's never do such things.)I bear it pretty stoically most of the time. I'm too pooped to argue. Save it for the battles I'll need it in.
Got the joke - Bohemian Rhapsody - but I have to wonder if Gen Z would get it.
My kids all would.
Ah, I see what you mean. I used to do that sort of thing though in different contexts.
What got you out of that habit?
You have an over-the-top, really bad case of what my wife and I went through at one point when we had cats. We had a signal "I'm not your scratching post" rather than the common "don't lay your trip on me". It's really a abominable shame that you could not have such an understanding with your husband.
I guess that's why it's called a "dad joke."

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I have Millennials for kids and they'd all get it.
Understanding that taking it out on others hurt them (emotionally) is what got me out of that habit.
