Nice try DH....

He is just full of great advice lately (I posted on friday that he told me I should poop when I go into labor so I won't poop when I'm pushing) Today he told me that when the nesting urge kicks in, there are several chores that he noticed need to be done..... Uh, do them yourself??

He suggested I should clean the baseboards and wash all of the drapes (I had to let him know that most of the time you can't just throw those in the wash- dry clean only, feel free to pay for it yourself too.....) To be fair I have wanted to clean the baseboards for quite some time, but I can't see myself on my hands and knees huffing and puffing around the house having to get up and down a million times. I'll leave that for MIL to do when she comes to visit :P

  • WTF? "By the way, honey, when you get that crazy nesting instinct, I'd like you do some of the most difficult, backbreaking chores in the house . . . "

    The poop thing just cracked me up before, but come on, someone's got to tell him that you going into labor is not going to become a convenience for him. He might have to see poop (gasp!) and clean those baseboards himself.

  • Bahaha! I think cleaning baseboards is the last thing I even want to think about doing right now.

    I asked my H if he could take over vacuuming temporarily because picking things up along the way is too difficult for me now. He said sure. Yesterday he vacuumed but asked me to help move things as he went. Ummm honey, that was the whole reason I couldn't vacuum in the first place.

  • Agree with PP!

     Is he being serious?! I can see my DH saying those things and joking about them, but he better know that if he says them he will be doing those chores himself!

  • I don't think he was being serious (he better not have been!) because I was complaining earlier about not having the nesting urge while begrudgingly cleaning the house- with his help (although we were both b!tching the whole time).  He thinks the time for nesting has already come and gone, so it's skipped me. I do think he was serious about the poop thing though.

    I totally convinced my 4 y/o that dusting our baseboards would be super fun. He did our whole upstairs!

    I love that! I got my nephew to play a game of "how many pinecones can you pick up in the back yard" one time, but sadly he has decided that isn't a very fun game.

  • (Granted, I'm in the hospital until I deliver) The mood I'm currently in, if DH even had the nerve to say something like that to me (about the baseboards) I'd have promptly grabbed the bucket and rags and walked them over to him and told him he'd better get busy, since it was obviously bothering him! *trust me when I say, the baseboards wouldn't have gotten cleaned LOL*

    I actually did this 2 days ago and DH would just walk past me like nothing was going on as I was moaning and graning adn trying to get up and down. He would NEVER even think that baseboards needed to be cleaned! Or ask to help.

  • I stare at my baseboards daily thinking about cleaning them...ugh...I am praying that my mom tackles them once LO is here and mom is bored. Either that, or I'm hiring Merry Maids to come in and do a Spring Cleaning.

    As for your husband, hopefully he's like puppies and babies....really cute so you don't kill them when things go array.
