Clueless husband

Kelli&Jed

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?

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... 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
