Husband/SO pet peeves

BC&LM

What are some of your pet peeves related to your husband or SO?

BC&LM

1) If he fills the trash, sometimes he doesn't change it right away.

2) Occasionally he forgets to put away something that needs refrigeration.

MH acts like the microwave is the fridge and will keep food fresh.

He never clips his toenails.

He does this weird gasp/catching his breath thing which makes my skin crawl.

He uses cutesy words with the kids "milky" for example

Sniffing up his snot instead of blowing his nose. He has bad allergies so I get to hear this a lot.

When he asks what he can do to help, and I say something that probably doesn't need immediate attention so he sits down.

This. So much this. I don't know how I forgot it. I have to tell him to.

Hm, mostly that he's blind to anything that needs to be done most of the time.  He can have a day off and not lift one single finger, as if he literally couldn't see that the kitchen needed to be cleaned up or something.  I guess his tolerance is just higher than mine (and mine is fairly high lol)

Oh yes the dish towels and the toenails!  Ugh.

Also, even before night shift started, he has always been tired.  Mainly too tired to drive, unless LO is fussy.  He doesn't want to sit in the back with her.

He will never clean a dish that he dirties. If by a miracle he does put it in the dishwasher, it's always in some weird place taking up multiple spots.

He also takes off his socks and leaves them all over the house.

He has to put the tv on at all times. If he is just tying his shoe, he will turn the tv on for 1 minute and then leave the room and leave the tv on.

The hamper thing.

The socks all over the house thing.

He piles all the dirty dishes in the sink and leaves them there so the sink is no longer usable. Dishwasher or counter, buddy. (I feel like I should give a shout out to luckydad, but since I only lurk Parenting, I would seem like a total stalker.)

Resetting his alarm in the morning to sleep an extra hour because he was up playing video games, even though I got up all night with LO and still wake up with him at 6.

He acts like he will die if he doesn't get at least 8 hours of sleep.  So effing annoying.

This.  Why can't you just pick up the socks and put them in the hamper?  Then, he runs out and wants to buy more because his mom used to make him and his brothers share one pack of socks.  He has a sock thing now.

He takes the trash bag out of the can when full, then doesn't replace the bag.

He gets ragey at video games.  They aren't here.  Calm the eff down!

Road rage. 

Everything is someone elses' fault.

Mine doesn't usually leave socks all over the house, but he does roll them into a ball to throw in the hamper, and I refuse to unroll them so his socks are rarely ever actually clean.

Mine never puts stuff away. Like, he will use the hammer and then just leave it on the dresser. Then he thinks he's done. YOUR'E NOT DONE until you clean up the tools you used!

Also the toenail thing. He peels them off. Once I pulled the couch away from the wall to sweep and found a million toenails. I was so grossed out and embarrassed him so badly that he will never do that again. Who knows where I'll find the next stash. Yuckkkk.

When we are getting ready for something, like a party or going somewhere, and there is a lot to do, my husband insists on "scheduled breaks".  Like he will finish 3 things on his list of 10 things to do and he will just sit down and take a break.  Seriously, what IS that??

He will leave socks around. Why? Just leave them on your feet.

He won't respond in a timely manner when I ask him a question so I never know if he's thinking or hasn't heard me and then gets annoyed when I ask again. Dude if you made ANY indication you had heard me I wouldn't ask again.

My dad does the not responding thing to my mom. He used to do it to me, but I started treating him like one of my students. "Are you still thinking, or do you need me to repeat the question?" In a super sugary voice.

Ill ask DH to watch LO while I take a bath and all I can hear is whining because DH is staring at the TV and ignoring LO.
Splatters from teeth brushing all over the mirror.
Asking the same damn questions over and over. You've been doing this a year now how the hell has none of it stuck?

@wren1212‌, I do the amazon thing too. I rarely buy anything without check the price on amazon first

My DH currently has a man-illness. He has a 99.7 temp and is acting like he might be dying.

I am sleeping on the sofa tonight because DH is already asleep and is snoring like he is simultaneously being drowned. It sounds awful.

Soo, yeah. Enough said.

It only really bothers me when I'm wrangling a fussy DD and he's concerned about saving 20 cents on hand soap. But I love love my Amazon Prime

Oh yeah I'm not THAT crazy!
