Hurray! He went and really likes the lovely in-network dentist he randomly picked from the list. He gets to see her a few more times this year too, thanks to the two tiny cavities and the need for a deep cleaning. I hear those deep cleanings hurt, so I will make sure to make him a lovely large pile of mashed potatoes and gravy for dinner that night, followed up by some ice cream. He'll like that.
The scary thing about this, is that I was listening to my mom complain about my father this weekend. About how they are paying for their benefits but my father refuses to go and use them. When she said this I rolled my eyes and pointed to Eric, gesturing that he does the same thing.
Now Eric has pointed out a few other instances of this before but I never really saw it.....
I'm TURNING INTO MY MOTHER!!!
I'm sorry love. I'll really watch the nagging and the complaining. Really I will!
BTW - Is it Kudos to... or Kudos for? Anywhoo... YAY Husband!

Your husband and I are living in parallel universes...I went to the dentist yesterday and had 2 cavities filled. My teeth sure look whiter and feel cleaner!!!
Kudos to, I think. Yay Eric, way to keep those pearly whites pearly and white!
Scrambled eggs are also yummy soft food. :)
I think that J is right about the kudos to.
I know what you mean about turning into a parent. It can sneak up on you-- and wham!-- you're no longer you. Of course, sometimes it's a good thing which is easier to take than replicating the weird, whiny behaviors.
My husband keeps putting off the dentist because he has to take off work. I keep telling him, "Tell me what day and I will make the appointment!"
I'm not my mom, not yet, anyway!
As my dentist used to say: "...You know, your teeth are the most important parts of your body." Then I went to my eye doctor and he said "You know, your eyes are the most imporant part of your body." The long and the short of it is that Eric did the right thing and himself checked out!
Yay for Eric! Good to start seeing the doctors and taking care of himself.
Good job Eric. Booo for those of us turning into our mothers. But Kudos TO you for recognizing it and want to break that cycle! haha
Kudos to the two of you :) Cherry, you are so cute! I noticed that I'm starting to turn into my mother too. LOL!
BTW, you've been tagged :)
xo
Oh, let lightening strike me dead if I ever sound like his mom. But my mom, I can handle that.
Kudos to Eric. I too, am turning into my mother.
Kudos to my husband. During our marriage prep classes oh so many years ago, our coaches/teachers told us to look at our partners and imagine that our spouse would be their mother/father someday. Just to see if they could handle it. Ian didn't run to the door; and despite the fact that prophecy is being somewhat fulfilled, he's still sticking with me. Nagging and complaining - honestly, the guys must secretly love it LOL!
My husband's thoughts on doctor/dentist appointments? Dentist=It will wake a sleeping giant (i.e. cause a huge toothache, by aggravating a cavity he didn't know he had). Doctor=If I don't go there is nothing wrong with me.If I go,they will always find something wrong with me.He was good about cleanings every six months...but not so good about the doctor.
Maybe we all turn into our mothers and fathers. Oh wow that is mind blowing
Thanks, Ginger!
Well, after 40 years of marriage, I can say that men just don't want to go to the dentist or doctor even when it is good for them. Nagging won't make it happen any sooner. Try to make it sound like something they are doing for you, you need them healthy and living a lot longer because you love them and would be lost without them.
