FYHF - Flame Your Husband Friday :)

annamie · February 2009

DH refuses to let DD cry. I mean, as soon as she starts making a peep, he's got her in his arms. She would be totally spoiled if he had her all the time. She knows what she's doing too. If it's just DD and me, I'll look at her and say "Your ok" and she stops and smiles. If it's all of us, she'll look at daddy. Sucker!

Marie Tourville · February 2009

Were you reading my mind?

Usually I try not to complain about him because he is a really good dad and a good husband...but his lack of planning ahead and horrible time management skills are his problem...not mine. I'm sorry honey, but if you don't have an outfit for work telling me when you are 10 minutes late already is not the time to do it. Had you told me last night I would have done a load of laundry. Oh...and if you put away the laundry I did then maybe your clothes wouldn't be so wrinkled.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I bought beef and broccoli last night for my dinner, since DD and I were having a girls night in with some What Not to Wear on the dvr (its never tooe arly to start out on good fashion). I purposely bought a big size to give me some for lunch today.

?

DH got home late last night and ate half of my leftovers. Just enough to make it not enough for my lunch. BASTARD.?

clarice928 · February 2009

Ooh -- fun post!

DH looks at me like he's doing me a big giant favor when I ask him to make DD's bottles for daycare. It's an even bigger hardship when he has to wash nipples in order to do it -- gasp!! Annoys the heck out of me. So sorry for making you pause your video game, DH!

Ah, I feel better now.

AngelEyes06 · February 2009

As soon as DS gets unhappy DH is handing him to me. Even if I'm in the middle of cooking dinner and he's been playing with DS for MAYBE 5 minutes... if he starts to whine DH is following me around holding DS out to me!

My DH is a great dad/husband too, but I know what you mean!! I can't count the # of times he's informed me that he has no clean underwear...at 7:30AM. Sigh.

lizzyjames · February 2009

My husband can't find anything to save his life. I will hear "HONEY where are my KEYS?? I NEED MY KEYS!??"

So I walk alllll the way acrosss our HUGE 1900 sq foot home ( Stick out tongue ) to find the keys in the drawer right in front of his face. Sooo irritating.

mabst196 · February 2009

Where's punk when you need someone to flame us for being pissed at our husbands and not worshiping the ground they walk on?

I've had all of the above complaints. Right now DH isn't pissing me off. Tommorow I'll feel differently.

moosemax · February 2009

I get up every morning for work at 5am. I get myself ready and then get DS ready and leave the house at about 630am. All while DH snoozes away...it totally bugs me that he doesn't offer to help. Some days I make more noise in hopes that it wakes him up!!

faBriezy · February 2009

My DH is OBSESSED with his new cell phone. I swear since he got that thing i have to talk to the top of his head because he's looking at it. He never puts that thing down- even when he's playing with DS, even when we had company over last night, when we watch a movie, in bed, etc. One of these says that thing may accidentally get washed in the pocket of his jeans, oops!

RufflesRambo · February 2009

Favorite.Post.Thread.EVER!

I'm mad that DH didn't look for a new job when I told him too and then ended up getting laid off and THEN asked to leave before his two weeks were up because he couldn't play nice.

I'm resentful that I'm now the breadwinner, sole provider, benefits holder, AND primary caregiver for DS. Not to mention I take care of the bills and house stuff too.

I'm pissed that the other day when I was at my crappy job and DS was at daycare, DH was AT THE GYM. I can't pay the mortgage next month and he's getting a work out in.

I hate that I have to ask him to get up at night with DS. He does it no problem but for once I'd like him to get up on his own! DS is his child too, he has ears and can hear him, get your _ass up dude!

I could go on and on but I won't bore you all.

Gina418 · February 2009

My husband is like Pigpen - he leaves a trail of dust everywhere he goes!!! Used tissues, crumpled papers, pens, socks, etc. - all left wherever he last was. It's like he leaves litle trails to find his way back...

bostonfingerlakes07 · February 2009

DH and I are casually TTC #2. He really wants a boy and really wants to name him Dominic so everytime he ummm...finishes.....he yells out "DOMINIC". In a way it's cute, but in a way it's really annoying especially since I don't like the name. He's weird.

ellacat · February 2009

Oh this came at the perfect time! DH is an awesome dad and hubby, but this week....

i know that you have the flu, and that sucks, but so does DD and I need to deal with her issues first because, well she's a baby and you're a grown man. Suck it up and deal. I would love to lay in bed all day when I am sick, but I don't because I can't.

Also if he does not stop checking and answering email on his phone during dinner I will throw the blackberry out the window. I know it is work and you are the boss, but I am sure someone else can deal with the issue until dinner is over.

mamamoos · February 2009

DH and i are going to dinner and a play with my family tonight. DH is leaving work early so i asked if he could pick up DS from my parents (who babysit during the day) and take him to the sitter who's taking him tonight. he throws a fit and say's the whole reason he's leaving early is so he can stop at home and take a shower before we go.

ummmm, you took a shower this morning, and you sit around in an office all day, so WHY do you feel the need to take another shower? don't you think i would like to take a minute to freshen up -- you know, since i showered LAST NIGHT?

but no. i get out of work at 5, have to race to my parents, pick up DS, take him to the sitter for tonight, and be at the restaurant by 5:30. bc your a selfish twaffle.

goillini823 · February 2009

DD is 7.5 months and DH still hasn't figured out a way to comfort her! Seriously I'd like to take a poop w/o DH and DD standing at the door cause he can't figure her out. It's not that difficult, DD is very easily entertained.

jenifairies · February 2009

My DH does the same thing as hippy's. He whines that he has to iron his clothes too because I don't hang them as soon as they come out of the dryer. Like he does?

And right now BIL is staying here. DH and BIL hang out like it's boys night every night, subjecting me to action movies, Survivorman, and talking about cars and other dull "boy" topics. I'm feeling left out in my own home and it's pissing me off. He's also been helping less around the house. We're about to have a talk. Casually mentioning it did not help.

Now that is some funny stuff. Thanks for making me laugh.

DH has made DD bottles maybe one time since she was born. Granted I am with her everyday but I also have another baby to take care of and a 9 year old boy. It would really be nice for him to do ANYTHING (besides play) with DD without being asked. My mom always called my dad a Circus Daddy, now I get it.

JollyGreenGoat · February 2009

I'll play along...

DH drives me bonkers, because he isn't fully awake until about 11-12pm. If you wake him up before that time, he is absent-minded and addle-brained. He can't think straight, forgets things, and acts like a complete idiot. For example, just the other day I was getting DD ready for daycare because he woke up late (again). He asked how he could help. I said take her laundry and put it in the washer since DD wet through her diaper. What does he do? He gets only her blanket and puts it in the washer with detergent, and forgets to turn it on before he goes to take his shower.

What.the.frak?

I got home that night with a cranky, tired, hungry baby and a whole load of laundry I had to wash AND dry before her bedtime since she sleeps like crap without her halo sleep sack.

boo-bitz · February 2009

It pisses me right off when DH gets off work early because its cold outside and rather than maybe ask if I've been having a hectic day with DD (which has become Dear Demon because of teeth coming in...) he proceeds to just curl up and take a 2 hour nap. And then when I flat out tell him I'm exausted and could use a rest he makes me feel 2 inches tall over it. WTF?

THIS is the funniest thing I have read all day.

proudarmywife08 · February 2009

I am a SAHM and he goes to work every day. All I ask of him is to watch her/play with her for the two hours she's awake right when he gets home so I can cook dinner and decompress. I need a break from her too. He told me last night he didn't see why he had to watch her and feed her dinner every night, why couldn't I do it? Um well, I feed her breakfast, snack and lunch plus watch her all day! A little break would be nice.

radylady · February 2009

Oh good. I don't post often, and complained in FFFC, but I have a bunch lately and it's good to get them off my chest.

We have the same job. We started about 6 months apart and are the same rank. So why is it that I'm the only one who knows anything about HR, bidding on positions for future tours, the politics of work, etc? We'll be at the same meeting and only I'll retain any of the information. I feel like I'm his personal assistant when we are at work or dealing with it at home. I have to explain ev.er.y.thing.

There is no reason for a custom $90 iPod case. Ever.

LoriFalce · February 2009

My husband's idea of being romantic and spontaneous is to wake me up from a sound sleep to have sex.

You're skippin' some steps there, bud.

jlb7640 · February 2009

Last week, DH complained to me that I was asking him for too much help when he got home for work...ummm DD was sick and I had a sinus infection.

It was not like I was asking him to watch DD so I could go take a relaxing bubble bath or anything...I was cleaning the house. Sorry, I could not do that during the day since I was too busy holding our miserable sick daughter while she sobbed.

Oh and DH told me last night he feels like he is getting a cold. AFTER he drinks out of my cup! WHAT? I am just trying to feel better from my sinus infection and is not even being careful to avoid getting us all sick again.

And I have messed up sinuses so the doctor just told me every cold will give me a sinus infection. I should stop trying to see if it gets better and just come in for the antibiotics.

MNheidi · February 2009

I married a saint and rarely have vents - he's an amazing dad and husband BUT he asks where everything is before he actually looks for it. It's petty compared to some of the gripes on here but it annoys the he!! out of me. "Where's the bibs?...oh, right here" YEAH, where we've always kept them? Where are the... the list goes on. I usually just ignore him until he finds what he's looking for or has asked 3 times

I have to admit though...we don't let Kate cry. At least we try not too.

I agree. I am all for sharing, but this is definately TMI. I don't want to know what you DH yells out in the throes of passion.

Jenni, at least he's not yelling out "preston and steve"!

(sorry folks, its a local thing)

C Bear E · February 2009

In general my dh is pretty great and I'm feeling good about him today. But one of my big gripes is:

It annoys me that he needs a warning (10 - 30 min) before looking after ds. Even if I just want him to hold him for 2 minutes while I pee, he has to work up to it. I waited 40 minutes the other day for him to watch ds for a few minutes. My warning is a crying baby, and he doesn't wait around till I'm ready.

Have you seen the Runaway Alarm Clock? It lets you hit snooze once and then it rolls off of the nightstand and around the room.

You're not wrong about that. I'd be more than a little creeped out. We're trying, and Matt wants a girl. But if he yelled "Marianna!" every time, I don't think we'd be having sex very often. Especially since it was his mom's name.

I think I have to go shower now.

Amy Schramm · February 2009

He's been leaving the toilet seat up lately. ?Very odd as he was almost completely "trained" but is slipping on that front. ?I joked that maybe my a*s was so big when I was pg that I might not have noticed him slipping a few months ago ?I've gotten wet butt twice this week. ?

That's about it. ?I have a great husband so not many complaints here!?

DH couldn't find his keys ANYWHERE this morning. I was trying to be nice and help him look for them while I was trying to get ready for work, and was asking if he had checked the diaper bag, his truck, or his pockets.. He just started yelling so I went to check those places myself. I came back upstairs to tell him I couldn't find them and he told me I was worthless. I know he just said it in the heat of the moment to get a rise out of me because he was mad, but I was PISSED. I called him a stupid a-hole and to go find his own damnn keys! Finally, jackasss went out to his truck and there they were in the ignition. He finally came back upstairs to get DD and leave but he was all trying to be nice like nothing happened. He tried to kiss me goodbye but I told him to fVck off for talking to me like that, when all I was trying to do was help. GOD we know how to push each others buttons.

He wouldn't use it. He likes to snooze and doesn't think there's a problem with it. Since I think it sucks, I have to find a way to secretly jack up the one he's already got.
