boring mom who hates fun is mad that the dad is cool and that other people noticed he was creating formative memories with his kids

My husband takes the kids to the gas station all the time and honestly it drives me crazy. He buys them so much junk food and it's always right before dinner so they ruin their appetite. Or it's like tonight where he did have a dinner planned (make your own pizzas) but then doesn't bother with it after the boys eat giant twix bars and fruit by the foot. I was already mad at him for taking them again, but then he's telling me that the cashier told him he was a good dad. He said that he always sees him in there buying treats for the boys and he's a really good dad. And it's like..... why is it that men do the most basic parenting and people are falling all over him telling him he's a great dad?

I never get random compliments like that.

If I was in the gas station buying them all that junk I'm sure I'd be judged for it. It fricking sucks. I try so hard to be a good mom but there's so many expectations. I can't keep up. Meanwhile, my husband just shows up for the boys and he's dad of the year. Frick.
