MH posted 5 things on CL last night to sell. This morning he went to work and guess who's getting to help all the CL people? Angry

My genius husband can't figure out how to make a can of Campbell's soup. Li is teething, so getting her to eat is impossible. When he got home from work last night, I had him take over so I could take a shower. Of course, he then gets flustered and doesn't clean up after. So I go into the kitchen to clean the mess and see a bowl of mushroom soup. I take a bite, it's awful... I yell down to him, "did you put milk or water in the soup?" He yells back, "neither"... um, what? He was like, you don't have to add anything. I said, of course you do, it says it right on the can.

Half the soup was burned onto the side of the bowl, it was totally inedible. He then yelled at me for throwing it out because we could just add it in. Um, no, make the soup correctly to begin with.

DH goes to work early in the morning -3:30am, and gets home between 11am and 2pm. He then "rests" until about 5pm in front of the television. I totally see the need for a nap, but an all afternoon half nap in front of TV is not ok. He always says he is going to do stuff around the house-dishes, vacuuming, etc since he is home alone in the afternoon, but nothing ever gets done. He also doesn't go to bed until 11pm. I keep telling him to go to bed earlier, take an actual 1-1.5 hour nap and then be productive in the afternoon, or pick DD up earlier from daycare and do something fun. I can't leave the house at 7am and get home at 5:30, make dinner, do bath and bedtime, and pack all the bags for the next day, and be responsible for everything else while you lounge around and watch TV. He wonders why I am on edge all the time- I am tired and the house is a mess. I think I also resent the alone time he gets everyday.

I used to start work at 3am. I know it can do a toll on your body. I agree the half nap does no good. I used to take a unisom around 7:00pm and then go to bed around 7:30-8pm. After a while my body was trained to get tired at the right time. Before I did this I walked around like a zombie for a year and was totally drained and tired all the time. I worked at 3am for about 5 years. I now start at 5 am, and boy what a difference that makes.

I totally get that he is tired, and I don't begrudge him a nap. I would not want to get up at that hour. I just wish he would take a nap and not watch soccer all afternoon and then drag around like a zombie.

I can relate to that. DH gets 3 hours alone every morning. Sometimes he does some dishes and he makes the bed, but other than that I think he just watches Sports Center! If I had 3 hours alone every day I could take care of everything in the house. We would not need cleaning ladies anymore for sure!

He's not going to live that one down for a while. At least my DH wouldn't!

stardust317 · November 2012

DH said to me last night, "Thank you for cooking dinner." I'm sure he meant well... I feel like what he should have said was "Thank you for cooking dinner every Night, washing the dishes, cleaning the house, and making sure our daughter is fed, clothed, and taken care of while putting up with my crap and continuing to put out 12 times a week while your 7 months pregnant. ".

If I don't tell MH exactly what to do, how to do it, and when to do it ... it *gasp* doesn't get done. Or half-assed gets done. I feel like his freaking mother. This morning: he forgot to put a onsie on DD even though it's freezing, and he gets her dressed every.single.day. But, because I didn't remember to lay it out with her other clothes, he assumed she didn't need it. I don't know if he's trying to get out of doing stuff by pretending he can't or what, but I'm so frucking tired of it. I'm stretched so thin and I get no time alone to do anything (and if I try to escape by myself for five minutes into another room to get some air, he follows me). I want him to spend a weekend at his parents, so I can have a weekend by myself. Maybe have my mom drive up for a visit & shop & help me chase after DD. I just need some time away from H. He's grating on my very last nerve. Last night while he was rocking DD to sleep, I told him I was going up to bed because I was cramping really badly and had a horrible headache. He f?cking followed me upstairs, put her in bed with me (wide awake again at this point and screaming), and then went downstairs and started watching TV. I about killed him.

You have a cleaning lady! I am so terribly jealous!

DH, for once, is not on my sh*t list. He has been really supportive during this crappy time and things are starting to improve for us. He took care of the snow tires yesterday (the ones that didn't fit), was all over getting a new washer so we wouldn't have to worry anymore and shopped with me for one, got us a new TV when ours crapped out and will fix the running toilet today while waiting for our new washer to be delivered. He has been a champ. On the other hand, if he says "Huh?" one more time in response to me saying something to him then I may drop kick him.

jaime1220 · November 2012

My TT is about my boss. I have such a short temper with him because he just doesn't care about his business anymore. He needs to retire but won't! He is constantly making me look like an idiot to our clients and then when I explain something to him for the 10th time, he gets snippy and cuts me off with saying, "I get it, I get it!"

I'm done!

1) I hate the smell of beer! Hate hate hate hate it.

When DH comes to bed at night I always tell him to brush his teeth so it "lessens" the smell. He climbs into bed every night thinking he is going to get some with his beer breathe. NOT going to happen.

A smart man would simply brush his damn teeth and get some, Not my stubborn Husband.

2) Dh is the bread winner, Twice today He has said, he has referred to the money as "his" money. I am going to get a damn Job just so I can tell him to shove it when he asks me to pay for something.

3) We were suppose to take a trip to canada for thanksgiving (20-25) and DH decided this morning that we/HE cant afford it. So he cancelled our trip.

1) I hate the smell of beer (and all alcohol, really), too. But DH has learned and apologizes for the smell and always brushes his teeth if he's trying to get some. Your H really needs to wise up.

2) Grrr, that'd piss me off big time!

3) Boo! That really sucks. Does he realize that discussing it and explaining why he's worried about the finances would have gone over a lot better than make a unilateral decision about "his" money and cancelling the trip?

Also, you should tell him you HAVE to come to Canada so we can arrange a GTG! Wink C'mon, that would definitely change his mind, wouldn't it?

Our husbands must be related!

I go to a dance class every Sat AM at 10:30. Every week, as I am walking out the door, he asks what to feed E for lunch and when to put her down for a nap.

Even when he's home, I wait until she's napping to jump in the shower, and if she wakes up while I am in there, he'll bring her, crying, into the bathroom to tell me she's awake. That's great. Now do something about it.

This past weekend she had a rough night and woke up every hour. I got up with her all night long. In the AM, when she woke up, he went to go get her. I thought "Awesome, he's going to let me get some sleep!". Then he brought her into the bed, got back in bed, and told her, "Shhh, let's let Mommy get some rest." Really!?!

The kicker, he let me prep and paint the entire bathroom without offering to help at all. I still got to cook dinner, clean up after dinner, do E's night time routine, then I could go start painting. The whole time he was watching videos of E on his computer. At 10 o'clock he strolls by and tells me he needs to go to bed. Jerk. If he had come to help me, we could have both been going to bed. Instead, I was up past midnight. Laid down just in time for E to wake up. It's okay though, I made sure to be extra loud with the roller when I was painting the wall that backs up to our bedroom.

sweetmarymotherofgod ... we married brothers! Does he make you want to drink, too???

Nita2603 · November 2012

Generally! My hubby has been pretty good. But there is this one thing.....

A couple of days ago, he came to the living room while I was tending to both of our kids who both did not have good days. And he looks at me and says 'I want to find you a hobby.' now, I am sure he meant well and all, but does it frucking look or seem like I have time for a hobby? I mean, these days, I consider my two hobbies sleep and showering.

To add insult to injury, he kept insisting that I 'need to do something in my spare time'. I mean, I agree. I would love to do something in my spare time. But I do not have spare time. Ever. If I am walking the dog with only one child, I consider that me being off. Dammit, that really bugged me.

He actually loves sleeping on the couch...sigh.

Time to get rid of that couch, then. Maybe replace it with a zip tied one?!
