If you could change 1 thing about DH what would it be?

easterbaby · January 2009

I would make him more responsible in the financial department. He doesn't spend money, but he doesn't understand the details of contracts and payments. He completely trusts everyone on their word. So frustrating. Other than that he is amazing.

Def. his spending money. It's horrifying when I pay bills.

Learn how to deal with stress better. He has gotten better, but sometimes, man I just want to ring his neck!!!

Only one??

That would friggin pick up after himself. Even my DD will put her shoes and clothes away when asked. She will also take her plate to the kitchen.

mbg8r · January 2009

Actually, yes, handling stress would have to be my answer. All of the other issues pretty much deal with how bad he is at handling stress.

His apparent inability to tell time. He is always late (like by HOURS) coming home from anything he does without me... including work. Since he doesn't realize how late it is, he doesn't call, which results in me calling and nagging, which turns into a fight. I already fixed the inability to follow directions. Thank you, Garmin!

I wish he wasn't so independant and more affectionate. He's just not that touchy feely unless it involves sex, lol.

xbrooklyngrl · January 2009

I guess the stress thing too. He's pretty good but there are times he goes so far down I have to remind him that he's pulling me down and someone has to be their to pick us up. We can't both be down to the ground.

Ok, my list could be longer if I sweat the smaller stuff.

HAHAHA!!! DITTO DITTO DITTO. What gets me is "oh, I guess I lost track of time." AAAAAHHHHH. I want to punch him in the face when he says that.

After almost 9 years of marriage, he FINALLY learned to call when he's going to be late, BEFORE he's late. Yea, calling when it's 6:30 pm and you get off work at 5 isn't telling me you will be late, you already are!!! I can't tell you how many times I told him, if you call me when you are late, you're tellling me what I already know. You aren't home.

Less controlling. Last night he told me "We don't push silverware in the right side of the sink. It could fall down the drain and get ruined by the garbage disposal." It's like he's talking to a child: We don't pick our noses, etc.

I wasn't in the mood for a fight, but I'm shocked that he cares since I do 99% of the dishes and have never ruined a utensil in the disposal.

joseysbride · January 2009

I wish he could multi task. He cannot fold laundry and watch tv at the same time. Unless he is doing nothing but looking right at me, he does not hear a word I say. When he is actually listening, he is great, but...

KoriBrett · January 2009

The Tourette's I don't mind, but the add/ocd crap that goes with it, he's the most oblivious person I've ever met in my entire life.

isabella22 · January 2009

He would be faster! OMG, the man takes FOREVER to do anything. It drives me absolutely nuts.

K-I-S-S-I-N-G · January 2009

I wish he would help out around the house more/pick up after himself

and

I wish he would take better care of himself -he drinks, smokes and eats like crap.

august0605bride · January 2009

I would make him be direct and not passive aggressive-- his sulking drives me crazy

Dimplz · January 2009

It would be to pick up after himself. We have been working on this since marriage (since obviously he didn't get any practice while living at home - thanks MIL!)

MrsJLK · January 2009

I would make him want to help me clean the house

.

VivaAmore · January 2009

I'd like him to stop being such a filthy male. Please don't think that because you're home you can burp, fart, scratch your balls, scratch your ass, etc. as much as you want. It grosses me out.

Angela814 · January 2009

I would love for him to be able to communicate without insulting me. I'd also love it if just once he'd pick his family over his friends.

stacynikki · January 2009

His laziness at home. But I have to cut him some slack since he's a great husband and an awesome dad.

GreenEggs&Ham · January 2009

I wish he were handy around the house. My father (and he taught it to my brothers) can fix anything, can repair things, etc etc.

My FIL is very handy, but my DH chose not to learn. Consequently, we have to pay someone for every little thing that goes wrong in the house.

I guess I can't complain too much b/c I am not handy either and my DH does the cooking!

MamaNikki · January 2009

I would make him filthy, stinking, RICH!! Ha ha...No, I guess I don't have any control over that so it's not really something I could change, is it? Darn.

I'd say to make him want to help out more with the housework. Mainly just picking up his own crap, though. To not leave piles of clothes and shoes all over the place.
