NBR: How do men survive without women?

in January 2011 Moms

DH just called me "We're out of sandwich bags.  What should I wrap my sandwich in, ceran wrap or tinfoil?"  Me: "Is this a serious question?  Both will work just fine but I prefer tinfoil".  DH: "how about my grapes.  I put my grapes in a sandwhich bag so now I don't know what to do".  Me: "Why don't you put them in the small square tupperware container?  You know, the ones I bought specifically to portion control lunch snack items like grapes".  DH: "Oh...yeah I guess it saves plastic bags".  Seriously?  The man fought in a war and can pick out a fake dollar bill with a glance but he can't figure out how to pack his lunch when his normal routine is shaken because we are out of sandwich bags?  What saddens me even more is the fact that once I'm a SAHM I'll probably be packing his lunches for him and one day he'll have to pack his own and will forget how to do it all together.

    LOL!  My DH is the same way, and I have wondered the same thing so many times.  And yes, it gets worse when you're a SAHM.  DH is so used to me doing little things like that for him all the time.  I swear it's like taking care of two kids.

    If DH makes himself ravioli, he'll call me at work to ask how long to nuke it for- and it's on the freaking can!

    Yet he wants to act like I'm the one who can't survive without him... I really fear my first deployment after LO is here and DH is completely responsible for taking care of him... poor kid will probably eat ramen the whole time.

    That is why I make my husbands lunch every day lol. Hes not even allowed to touch the tin foil or plastic wrap, he can't figure out how to use it so it ends up in a big ball every time.

    This is why I make just enough dinner to pack leftovers for DH for lunch the next day, and I pack the leftovers up while he does the dishes. If we don't have anything left over he almost always goes to Subway or we have some of those frozen man XXL meals or Asian bowls. Men are special. My mom always said "Husbands need a wife, but a wife needs one more." I never understood what she meant until I got married and now it makes PERFECT sense.

    LOL!  This reminds me of what happens when I ask DH to load the dishwasher.  I've stopped asking because I just have to re-do it or answer all his questions about where everything goes.  ::sigh::  Men.

    My DH asks questions while trying to cook dinner "How do I cut this and with what knife", "How long should this be on for", "What pan do you I use, what spoon do I use" and then he gets mad at me if I just try and take over cooking because "he wants to cook".  Seriously hunny if you want to cook leave me alone and figure it out yourself.
