Who's The Boss?

How is it that I work, bring home the bacon to keep the lights on and roof up, and yet I am not in charge at my own house?  I have a perpetual freeloader living in my home and somehow in some alternate universe, he is in charge. 

He doesn’t work. 

He doesn’t cook. 

He doesn’t clean. 

He doesn’t pay rent.

He doesn’t do chores.

He eats me out of house and home, lounges around all day, enjoys the benefits of a fireplace in the winter, and central air the rest of the year.    

He sleeps in the most luxurious of beds.

He decides what guests are welcome and which are not. 

He frequently talks back when he is reprimanded and has an unbelievably sassy attitude. 

He always wants his way and he will only do something if it is his idea. 

He always has the last word in a disagreement and when he doesn’t like something, he lets me know in his unique vocabulary.

He is extremely demanding.  He expects immediate gratification and exhibits no patience.

He is extremely moody and his demeanor turns on a dime.  One minute he is snuggling, the next minute he is going for blood. 

He walks all over me and uses me for his convenience.

I am there solely to serve his every whim and fancy.

When it is time to travel, he puts up a fit, refusing to go. 

Does this sound like most men you know?  From the tallest to the lowest order of species, it seems that males are alike.  And I wouldn’t trade mine for anything.
