Vent... It annoys me when DH does... (join in!) :p

MegW25 · April 2012

Ok... I LOVE my DH, but SOMETIMES he just does some things that annoy me to no end! Like I said- I love him, but still! Grrr....

We just finished eating dinner, I am nursing LO to sleep, and DH is playing computer games instead of helping to clean up mess from dinner. SO, after nursing LO, I get to do it while DH goes to bed!

Ok.... now you share! Go!

It annoys me when he tries to clean the carpet with all-purpose cleaner. Now there are big soap stains on top of dog vomit stains... And I need to bring out the steam cleaner.

When he complains or compares his sleep habits to mine. Him getting a bad night's sleep every once in a while due to congestion or allergies or whatever DOES NOT compare to a new mom who hasn't STTN in 4 months! I look forward to the day I get a full night's uninterrupted sleep again.

Ooooo. I'm glad you made this because I have a BRAND NEW (less than 15 minutes old) one.

DH has been working late. So I leave the bedtime routine up to him if he's home that early. I try my best not to criticize or nag about it. Just go ahead and clean the kitchen when it goes on... I always check DS before I go to bed (around midnight). For the past week DH hasn't put him in pajamas. This wouldn't be a huge deal if he didn't wake up cold in the morning. But sleeping with only a onesie on some nights isn't cutting it!!! He claims DS is too tired and usually falls asleep during his bottle.

So? Put him in pajamas BEFORE his bottle. Too tired? Or are you too lazy DH?

In general though...My biggest pet peeve with DH is him KNOWING he's tired and ready for bed but having to watch TV. EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT he falls asleep sitting in the chair watching TV. I feel like I'm married to an 80 year old. If I wake him up he claims he wasn't sleeping (Really DH?). And if I leave him he whines that I don't care. #imnotyourmotherdonttreatmelikeiam

I think I could write for a month lately about DH...

This past weekend we went on a road trip, now, there are some things we do not do together in our marriage, grocery shopping, and long car trips... Anyways, in my previous profession before becoming a SAHM it was not unusual for me to be in the car 8 hours in a stretch, stay up all night working, turn around and drive home. I know that if you get fatigued, you stop and sleep until you're safe enough to be on the road driving, you don't look at the clock. I also have sweet & savory snacks to help keep the blood sugars boosted. Well, DH decided unilaterally, that I didn't need to have access to any of my snacks (he packed his cr*p on top of my cooler), then would only let me stop for about 10 minutes to sleep on our drive, then had the set to yell at me when I stopped to get out of the car for a snack because I determined I was too dangerous to drive until I got my sugars up and a little sleep into me. How hard is it to understand that you're better off to arrive late than DEAD?!?!!?

It drives me crazy when I hand a sleeping LO to DH, and he holds him in a way that he cannot possibly sleep through (and then wakes up grumpy.) I now know that EVERY TIME I have to remind him "cradle the baby/lay him on your chest" or else the baby will end up in a seated position/dangling in the air.

Also, when I leave the room and come back, and DH is cuddling the dog while the baby is strapped to the changing table... Really?!

brookie9 · April 2012

I don't have too much to complain about really but lately a couple things have concerned me. Bedtime can sometimes really suck and DS might scream for a bit. I try to console him but when I've reached my limit, DH takes over. I went back in to check on him and still screaming baby and he's sitting in rocker with him and has earbuds in listening to iPod and DS laying on his lap kicking and screaming. Not even trying to console him.

The other thing is when I walked into the bedroom and DH set DS on the bed laying so close to the foot of the bed that his feet were almost dangling off the edge. DH left him and stepped into our master bathroom and was brushing his teeth. When I said that was too close to the edge to leave him for even a second he rolled his eyes and said, "there you go worrying again." get used to it buddy. And I'm a pretty relaxed mom. It worries me cuz DH watches DS when I work the evening shift every once in awhile.

michelle142 · April 2012

When he falls asleep on the couch in the middle of the day on weekends. While I on the other hand am trying to do everything.. cook, clean, laundry, take care of DS... all while he's ASLEEP. It makes me want to stick ice down his pants. I never get naps.

xraychick07 · April 2012

My DH has YET TO LEARN how to put down the toilet seat. This morning at 3 am DD woke up and I went to use the bathroom before getting back in bed. I almost fell in. I immediately stood up and SLAMMED the toilet seat as hard as I could. Almost gave his sleeping butt a heart attack, and I plan on duct taping all of the toilet seats down today because I have had it. I hope he has a good time with the Goo Gone tonight.

One more thing, EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Alexa cries he says, "What's wrong with her?". It makes me want to punch him.

Otherwise, he is a wonderful daddy and husband! lol

My H does this too! Super annoying!

emd2887 · April 2012

I could write a novel about all the things he does lately that annoy me.

Recently I had it out with him for telling everyone that I sleep in later than he does. Yeah, that's true, but he doesn't tell them the other half of the story- that I stay up later than he does, and that as long as E is sleeping, I'm going to as well. And, you know, it's not exhausting at all taking care of a baby all day and all night long.

Or when I ask him to change E's diaper, and he sits there fooling around on the computer for another 20 minutes so that I end up doing it. Then he asks me why I didn't wait for him to do it.

DH does this too. This is probably our biggest issue right now. If E needs something, I do it right away. But if I ask DH to do it, he wants to finish whatever he is doing, then do it. I usually just end up doing it myself because it is the kind of stuff that can't really wait (diaper, getting a pacifier, taking the dog out, etc).

THIS. You're tired? YOU'RE TIRED? YOU need a nap?

Azz. lol.

blue2355 · April 2012

My DH is generally an awesome helper but last night when he got home he said I'm giving you a break tonight from DS because he had such a fussy day(would'nt nap for longer then 10minute and teething).So I go to start dinner because I was literaly starving (had'nt eaten all day)and DS wakes up from his nap.I expected DH to grab him and feed him but the whining continues.I check to see what DH is doing and well he was playing WoW.So I stomped by and grab DS and feed him and was muttering a bit.He was like whats wrong.I kinda got pissed and I said giving me a break does'nt consist of playing a video game while I'm starving and trying to start dinner and now I'm feeding DS.

At least he took the hint and logged off to take over the feed.I told him Sunday is my day off from being a mom and it was his turn to go a full day with DS.

this must be a man thing b/c my husband does the same thing. my main peeve is him saying how tired he is when he gets home from work. or in the middle of the night if baby is fussing, he will say "ughhhh, i gotta get up at six" as my cue to take her out of the room or calm her. i'm trying to teach her to fall asleep on her own & not soothe her at every sound she makes. ps- i get up at 5 everyday & stay up way later than you doing all the chores!

browneyedgoil · April 2012

also when we get into little arguments when i tell him he doesn't help me enough, he says "well, i'll quit my job & u can go back to work then". he wouldn't last a day staying home.
