Clueless husband

DH is taking 2 weeks off when the boys arrive.  We just got a new wood fence to make our lives easier with our 2 dogs and eventually help keep the boys contained in the yard when they're older.  DH tells me, "I'll just stain the new fence when I'm off for 2 weeks."  My response, "The he!! you will!"  He has no idea what we're in for.  Anyone else have cluesless husband stories?

Re: Clueless husband

  • A couple nights ago I said, so you're going to get up in the middle of the night to help me breastfeed sometimes right? His response was something along the lines of, what? How can I help you breastfeed.

    Then along with some comments such as, I have to get up to work in the mornings.

     

    Not quite the response I was looking for..

  • Honestly?

    I have wayyyy to many "clueless Mom" stories for me to throw DH under the bus!  Neither of us had any idea what we were in for!

  • hubs is such a positive petey its crazy! hes sooo excited for the boys and claims to be not the least bit nervous/scared/anxious.

    either hes a fat liar or naive.

    but this could be seen as a plus too, he can keep me on the positive road when im trying to rip my hair out.

    i cant say too many bad things...i forgot to mail out his IRS pmt...OOPS

  • Your comment made me laugh! My hubby has been wonderful and I know will be awesome when the babies come, but he says things sometimes without even thinking! I keep telling him " You don't even realize how crazy and busy things will be when these girls come" . I think he is underestimating a little bit that it's going to be tough at the beginning. But oh well, I'll let him think what he wants ... lol  :) 
  • I had a list of home projects I wanted done before my babies arrived. When all signs pointed to me delivering early I got on DH's ass about getting those things finished. His response was just like your DH's: "I have 2 weeks off so I'll do it then." I think I responded with laughter. After those 2 weeks flew by he claimed he made the comment about his Christmas break. I laughed again. As if it'll be easier next month. Not.
  • They are very clueless.  My DH was bragging to his buddies on the phone how I let him sleep thru the night...and the girls are "easy".  well...he spoke too soon.

    Next day.... I had a fever of 103...and was puking my brains out...Ick! along with horrible diarrhea.  he learned the hard way that I'm not eating bon-bons at 3 in the morning.... He had to care for them for 24 hrs.  He then....and only then, had an appreciation for all I do.

  • H is so excited about the babies and I worry that he is so clueless! I guess I am too. We can't wait for the babies to be here but I know it will be hard work. I think H knows too but we have no clue how to prepare. 
  • My husband had no clue before the babies were born.  His first diaper change was Connor in the hospital and he was never really around babies before.

    Our dryer broke when I was pregnant and I told him we needed to get a really good one b/c we are going to be doing a ton of laundry.  His reply "What are you talking about?  Baby clothes are so small?"  He has since admitted that I was right ;-)

  • Our beloved furbaby passed away when I was pregnant and DH thought it would be great to get a puppy when I was home on maternity leave because then we'd be able to spend the time with a puppy that they need. Uh! like 2 babies isn't enough. I shot that one down before it even finished coming out of his mouth!

    Oh my!  Glad to see my husband isn't the only clueless one : ) We have 2 dogs (lab mutt 7yrs and min pin 1 1/2yrs) and I can't imagine getting a puppy AND learning how to take care of 2 babies.  In fact now that the boys are on the way DH says no puppies again ever...we had a rough time with our min pin.  I guess that shows he's learning :)
