If my husband says he's bored one more time...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxox

I might club him over the head with a rake.

He goes back on shift in a couple days and has decided that he has nothing to do in the house while he's helping me with the boys... Yeah, it's not like there are bathrooms to clean or floors to vacuum or laundry to do... We're all just sitting around in an empty, spotless house where there is nothing to do.

Of course as soon as I point something out he's 'too busy' or finds something else to do. He is acting like a 14 year old boy today and it's driving me nuts.

Anyone else?

It figures! lol I have the opposite problem? When DH is home I love to relax because it's nice to enjoy the time we have together. When he gets bored he gets up and starts cleaning. Before Chloe came along I felt terrible when he would do that because my mom was a passive aggressive cleaner so I would panic and tell him to stop then I would frantically clean the rest of the day. Things will probably be different now. You should use the 'my vagina hurts and it will keep hurting for several months unless you help me clean' excuse. Men will do lots of things for sex!

H complains that he's "tired". Pssh, like he gets up at night and breastfeeds!

I want to punch him in the face every time he says he needs a nap.

This. H says this all the time. In his defense he's in school and works full time, but I let him sleep a good 7 hrs each night. DD doesn't sleep well so I get maybe 3 hrs if I'm lucky. If one more person complains that they're tired I'm going to scream.

DH also had ingrown toenails to deal with this week and he was taking vicodin for it and acting like it was the worst pain in the world. Really? Ingrown toenails? I wanted to give him something to whine about. Grr.

Hah! H had an ingrown toenail a few days ago, and he was limping around the house. ::eye roll::

Thank God he didn't have to give birth! There's not enough pain medication in the world for that.

Ha. We must be married to the same man. MH has bandages on his toes and was gimping around. It is a good thing they don't have to go through labor and pushing a baby out! Not to mention what our lady bits look/feel like for weeks after.

14 year old boy?  I case you didn't see when I posted before, mine spent the day watching football and playing World of Warcraft yesterday.  Sweet.  He has also become fond of rolling his eyes at me lately.  I swear, if this kid takes after his father I'm going to move somewhere far away...by myself.

If there's time to lean, there's time to clean.... but I'm the exception to the rule. Mama can sit around to breathe for a few minutes

I've had an ingrown toenail since 36 weeks pregnant.. It freaking hurts! But sounds like both men have not been dealing with it for 2.5 months lol. And it's nothing compared to labour!

HA!! You make me laugh, C_mo!

I can't complain; DH worked from home today and is doing the dishes as I type this and watch Oliver try to escape his swaddle from the video monitor.

DF complains he is tired and just wants to relax when he is home. He drives me crazy sometimes. When he wants to relax I remind him of the million things that have to be done before I return to work

This! The urge to hit him is so overwhelming.  He doesn't hear the baby at night and sleeps straight through the night. If I ask him to take over at 630, he starts with the "I'm soo tired, I need a nap." ugh, hate the whining---God forbid I ask you to take over care of your child at a reasonable hour.

Am I the only one that finds vicodin for an ingrown toenail to be overkill? LOL

Ugh My DH keeps doing crazy house projects on the weekend, like gutting and cleaning the garage, or painting the front porch. After I got on him about it, he's helped with the things that *actually* need doing, like dishes and laundry.

I KNOW. DH slept for eleven hours one night a few weeks ago and said he was just "catching up" on sleep. I felt like saying I won't get to catch up until DD is 2.
