    Ooh oooh, I have one... I'm headed out to a recruiting event today, and was thinking it was only going to be an 11 am presentation. I look at the itinerary they sent out 2 weeks ago, and they surprised scheduled us for an after lunch activity. When I asked them about it, they were like "oh well we were hoping you could stay...". Now I'm way too nice to say no, so now I not only have to stay through lunch, but now until this activity ends around 2. Because of my gluten intolerance, I am probably not going to be able to eat the lunch anyway...And it's a 90 min drive from my house, so this is now an all day event. 8 months pregnant. in 100F weather. DAMN YOUTH! College kids need to get their shit together and not spring this on volunteer recruiters!

    I’m feeling super stabby at H. Ive been cleaning, working out, clearing space all day and he went day drinking with a friend for 3 hours and is now napping. Guaranteed when he wakes up he’s going to need to get work done (for his job) and then tomorrow we have plans to kayak and he’s not going to want to do chores then either. It’s never a good time for him to f-ing help out. My job is way way more stressful than his, I commute 2 hours each day, I’m 33 weeks pregnant, and I still manage to keep the house together. Arg!!!!!!!!

    @rc-cola I totally understand... DH is gone with his buddies a lot and when I complain he pulls "well your just gonna sit on the couch in your phone." Yeah well, you can wash the dishes.

    @sammierose464 @rc-cola so frustrating! I tried just leaving the dishes once. Turns out they bother me waaaay sooner than they do DH. What worked for us was to divvy up chores. I hate taking out garbage, he hates laundry, that kind of thing. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when this LO arrives... 

    Mine could fit in either the baby shower or family threads, but I’ll just leave it here. The short version is that both my and my husband’s immediate families are bailing on the shower tomorrow. They have reasons, but they’re borderline reasons and it has me feeling stabby. On the upside, my shower is tomorrow and I’m looking forward to celebrating with friends and cake!

    @mamabearcj it was fine in the end...I had my snacks with me so I didn't go hungry. And I do enjoy recruiting and interacting with potential candidates.

    @sammierose464 @rc-cola i can totally relate to how frustrating that is. We try to divvy up chores like @halfanewt said bit I still end up doing most things simply because they bother me way more than him. 

    @halfanewt sorry your families bailed but I hope you have an awesome time at your shower!

    We mostly work with the concept of: he works outside and I do inside. So he does snow removal, lawn, trah to the curb etc. I do the laundry and most of the general house cleaning. We split the dishes, but be will let them sit longer than me and it'll drive be crazy. We also keep a white board to jot notes of what needs to be done.

    @sammierose464 this is mostly how ours breaks down, but when we get in arguments it’s because I don’t give a crap if he mows the lawn, but I DO need him to do a dish. So because I care about the outside stuff less, it can result in drama. I’m not sure how to explain it to him without him getting insulted.

    Stabby about house projects. So the belt on our garage door opener broke. We but a replacement kit and set aside yesterday afternoon to fix it. Supposedly only a 60 minute job (LIES)! After 3 1/2 hours we got to the end only to realize we had the wrong damn belt!!! Argh!!!! So it turns out our belt isn't sold in stores. We had to return that one and order from the manufacturer. It won't arrive until Wednesday. Not exactly a last minute project that we want to be stuck doing while we're still trying to pack/move next Saturday.

    @HoosOnFirst that's the same thing here. I will wash and fold your laundry, you need to put it away. I'm gonna be pissed if the next time I do laundry all your clean clothes are sitting exactly where I left them. 

    He leaves cups all over the house and it drives me insane.

    @halfanewt - Stabby for you at your family.  Hope your baby shower is otherwise awesome. (Especially so you can then go to said family and tell them they missed a fabulous party, but that was okay, because more cake for you.)

    I hope those missing your shower still send some nice gifts!

    The policy in our house is one person cooks the other person cleans. I enjoy cooking so that means my husband does most of the dishes. We each do our own laundry. 

    Those damn home projects always turn into hours long frustrating events, I hope you can work it out!

    Omg same here! And then I’m going around picking up moldy cups. It’s so gross. He also makes tea for himself and expects me to deal with cleaning out this weird tea contraption. 

    Honestly I don’t mind other internal cleaning but I hate hate hate doing dishes so it’s the one thing I wish he helped with more. Or if he emptied the dishwasher I’d fill it. But we both work fulll time and have a toddler - I will never have enough time to do everything at once. I’ll do laundry and vacuuming until the cows come home though.

    DH does his own laundry but I do all communal and kid laundry, which is fine.
