I am so mad at DH right now, in tears

cooker71

He is going out right now to buy a flat screen TV for tomorrow's Super Bowl party, EVEN THOUGH I have told him numerous times we don't have the money for it and it's not needed right now.

We have a _FUCKING baby on the way dumbass. Things to buy for the baby and this house that are WAY more goddamn important than a _FUCKING TV.

Oh, and he still hasn't finished the medicine cabinet for our bathroom that he promised to resand and install, so we still have a hole in our wall where that should be. Six months after moving in.

The nursery also still needs to be painted, blinds hung, blah blah blah.

He told me he "promises" to get the medicine cabinet done by the end of February and that he'll do whatever I want. Oh and can he have a kiss before he goes?

I am so mad, I'm nearly hyperventilating and in tears.?

(((HUGS))) I'm sorry Coker. Guys can be selfish pricks sometimes. Calm down before BSB kicks the daylights out of your insides. ;-)

Cooker I'd be livid too. MH wants a new fantastic TV too. If he comes home with one anytime soon I would go apeshit.?

As for the baby stuff - it will get done. It always does...too bad our H's have to make us insane though in the process.

Oh!!!! Breathe!!!! 

 

I'm so sorry... if it makes you feel any better, my dh is a moron too!  He went out and bought one even though we have a lot to pay off from him being a post doc and us moving twice within 2 years.. and we have a perfectly good tv that is now sitting in the playroom, never in use.  idiot.  

 

(((hugs)))

I would be FURIOUS if DH made a big purchase like that that I did not "agree" to.  A flat screen TV is not really a spur of the moment whim type of purchase.  I am sorry, I'd be so mad too!

Men are dumb sometimes.  Sorry yours is being especially so right now.

(((((((((hugs)))))))))

{{hugs}}  That sucks!  I'm sorry!

My dh thinks we need a 52 inch too.  We have a 37 inch on the wall now that is like brand new but dh wants to use part of our tax refund for the tv.  I'm with you.  Men can be morons.

aw cooker.. I am sorry. DH does the same _shit when it comes to purchases. I don't agree with half the stuff he buys but he thinks by giving me the $ equivalent to what he bought that it is okay.

douche.

 

tell him he better hope that effin tv puts out.

Seriously, what is it with men this week?  I think they are on something!  (HUGS). 

cooker71

Thanks ladies. I talked to my mom too and have calmed down. It doesn't help that I'm seven months pg either.

And seriously pin. He better effin hope that TV puts out. For real.?

My DH got the flat screen for Christmas, meanwhile, we have had about $10K worth of house/car repairs in the last 3 or 4 months.  I know that we can "afford" it, but it makes me a little sick to know that we have to take it out of savings.  The timing was not great.  He is very happy with the tv, so I guess that counts for something. 

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

I am sorry, my H has been pulling the same crap. He always has seaon tickets to the Bills and is convinced there is no problem with him getting them this year even though we are having a baby is September! We don't have the money and Sunday is our only weekend day off together. I already hate spending it by myself watching the kids while he is off having fun, I am not doing it with a newborn too! They can be suchbuttheads sometimes....

r9stedt

What IS it with men feeling their masculinity is based on large TVs?? MH is trying to get a new TV too. And, I agree with pin. That thing better put out!

pincushions

I will say that I have no problem getting a flat screen (we are getting one in a few weeks) but I am 100% against his mothereffing ancient biodiesel Mercedes that he wants....we weren't on speaking terms last week because he "found the one" he wanted and it won't be there for long.

BubblyToes

Grrrrr!  Stupid men and their stupid big tvs.  Want me to kick him in the balls for you?

(((HUGS)))

CubbyMama

(((hugs)))  That is NOT okay!  It's your money and your family, too, and how would he like it if you took off to go buy a new Coach bag (do those even come in a $1K + version?) or something?  I'm sorry.  I'd be furious, too.

femmegem

Oh, man. I would be livid, too. I'm really, really sorry he's doing this.

When he comes home, act like it's the coolest thing in the world and find the girliest tv show on the period channel (aka Lifetime) tomorrow evening right around Super Bowl time.

Kick him out and he and my DH can find a place on their own.  Seriously, DH gutted our bathroom over the summer and it's still not done.  There is no door, the cabinet doors aren't back on, and we have all the finishing left to do.  I can't even pee in privacy.

Plus I'm done with my job in a few months and DH wants to use my discount (which is disappearing) to buy a 52" LCD.  Um, that's to replace a 42" plasma which isn't even that old.  And we have a 37" lcd upstairs already.  Say it with me - WTF?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I would have been upset as well, my pg temper has a short fuse right now.
