Stepford Wife: Day 7

I'm done.  I'm over it.  There will be no more Stepfording around here... ever.  Truth be told, I started cheating yesterday.  Slept in a little, slacked off on the breakfast thing... cooking wasn't gourmet, but shit got done.  Taking time to reflect I've seen a few changes... one, people get used to being spoiled way too easily, and I fall into spoiling people way too easily.  I never thought I was a willing doormat, and I don't guess I really am because there is only so much I will take.  But is that my own fault?  When Kaitlyn treats me like a servant, when Jaydan yells at me because he's pissed off, when John leaves his dirty dishes in the sink when the dishwasher is clearly open and being loaded.. is that my own fault?  Do I act like Kaitlyn's Mammie?  Am I really afraid of Jaydan's teenage hormones that I allow him to yell at me?  Do I really cater to John so much that he simply assumes that I'll run around after him like a toddler?  I think maybe it is so.  I think maybe I am a doormat.  Really, not a whole lot changed in my behavior over the week, except that I dressed nicer, did my hair/make up, and got up to cook breakfast, oh, and held my temper a little more so than usual.  But today, when I was trying to play around with Kaitlyn's hair to get it Marilyn'd she was treating me with such disdain and disrespect that I lost my shit.  I ripped the curlers out of her hair and stormed out of the house.  I guess asking a full 7 days of holding my temper was too much to ask!
