Hmmmmm

After a fun filled day at Sea World, my family of four was tired and hungry with no idea what we wanted to eat. Thanks to a suggestion from the "oh so helpful" front desk we decided to check out Charley's steak house, but found we were underdressed and ended up at Longhorn instead...who knew the whole world would want steak at 8:30PM? Needless to say it took quite a while for us to have our orders taken (did I mention that we were ALL tired?) As usual our salads and appetizer came out first and I got "stuck" sharing my salad with the kids while "he" sat at the opposite end of the table and enjoyed his (alone). I got frustrated when I looked across the table and say "the boy" picking through my salad to find the crunchiest pieces of romaine and told him he could have the entire thing >:-/only to have my "darling" husband see the frustration all over my face and say, " I don't even know why you gave him your salad...he should have ordered his own". Our son is 8 and highly capable of ordering what he want, but GEEZ I'm guessing the sun wore him out and he forgot, last time I checked no one died from sharing a salad! So here is MY frustration (call me crazy), but was it necessary for hubby to make a huge deal about him not ordering his own or should he have shared a little of his house salad with raspberry vinaigrette? As I mother I am expected to share and generally don't have a problem with it, but the comments from the "Peanut Gallery" only add to my frustration on days like this. As nice as the day started, I'm going to sleep wondering where is the "backup"?
