Trying to Get Pregnant
Men and the remote
I believe every man has a remote issue...lol.
Here is my typical experience: my DH can not watch commercials. So we are watching something...getting interesting, then oh no, a commercial. He switches stations...begins watching something else...ooh this is interesting and good...5 minutes go by.....switches back to original station which is already in progress......
Time goes by.....DH snores....I sneak up and grab remote and put on something I like....dh awakens..."I was watching that!!!"
Aaaahhhh! I'm not alone, right?

I think your DH and my DH may be in fact be, clones. This is almost a nightly thing for us.... It drives me outrageously batty!

Yes! Didn't mean to exclude ya! You are not alone! So annoying.....
Don't worry, I didn't feel excluded...I'm just glad there are other people out there driving their spouses crazy with the effing remote! My wife is basically the clone of all my (straight) friends' husbands, so this is not surprising.

Haha my husband does the EXACT same thing! Also, if I am watching TV and he comes home or comes in from the other room or something he will walk over motioning with his hand like "give me that" to the remote. As if it belongs to him and I don't know how to use it! Or his famous "can I see that for a second, I just want to 'check' something" and then I never see the remote again for the rest of the night!
Lol! I thought this only happened in our household. This happens a lot with football. I think the monotone cheering of the crowd puts him to sleep. He can always hear me pick up the remote from the coffee table even if I pick it up slowly. So funny!

Also, if I change the station once my husband falls asleep it will wake him up and he will comment about how stupid the show is and make fun of it until he falls back asleep!
Are we married to the same guy. This is the exact to a T situation at our house.

I am the TV control freak because I love TV. I like watching commercials and I don't like flipping because you might miss the show when it comes back! Thankfully we like all the same shows so we don't need to argue over what to watch.
MH does have the "watch two things at once" problem. Where he will watch one thing on TV and then another show on his iPad.
((yells at H)) How can you listen to both at once??
In our house, I'm the one who can't stand commercials. I'm constantly scanning through the channels and I'm very good at watching a few things at once. (Only if it's junk reality or reruns, not a show I'm actually into- then I'll stick with one.) I'm just tired of the logging shows (Ax Men, Swamp Loggers) that DH is into. Really, how many times can you watch someone chop down a tree?
