what annoys you most about your DH?
I'm making a list. I'm annoyed today.
1. That he never remembers that Mitch is allergic to Peanut Butter....so when we take the girls out for a special treat for having a very good week, going to bed well, not misbehaving for the nanny and all, he gets the Reeses PB cup blizzard and I'm left to share the 2nd rate Oreo Blizzard with Mitch, even though I'd LOVE to order my own PB cup blizzard.
2. That he doesn't remember that Taylor is allergic to penicillan. I could never trust him to take her to the doctor if she was sick. he'd forget to mention it the one time the doc would forget to look or something. OR if it was an urgent care type place, he'd just plain forget.
3. Multi-task---hahahaha. My DH is only capable of doing one thing at a time. If he's on the phone, mute the TV, everyone must hush so he can hear. If he's making dinner, he won't answer the phone. And dinner is made one dish at a time....making two dishes at a time?? Too hard. he even eats that way...one dish at a time. I know it shouldn't annoy me how he eats, and it really just makes me laugh. Its just weird. to me.
4. He argues, on and on, with our 4 year old. He thinks that since he's the father HE should get the last word...as if thats the sign you WON the argument with a 4 yo. THIS one drives me nuts. I tell him "ignore her, drop it, move on." and he gets mad. "No. She needs to understand......" Come on..she understands...but continuing the conversation leaves her to believe that the discussion is still on the table and that you may change your mind!
5. Whenever he's left alone with the kids, it's always when they are their most mis-behaved...according to him. I don't know if he's looking for sympathy, a break, or what, but I come home and he's complaining about how naughty they were, how they didn't listen and how much work it was. Always. In fact, I'm starting to avoid leaving them with him because its annoying to come home to him complaining.
Tomorrow I'll think of 5 things I love about him...but today I'm annoyed.

Re: what annoys you most about your DH?
AJ is allergic to penicillin too, and he ALWAYS forgets. I think if that kid had it tattoo'd to her forhead he would STILL forget.
He is horrible and remembering things. I asked him 2 weeks ago to replace the passenger wiper blade in my car and guess what? My dad did it this weekend.
I have class on Wednesday nights, and when I get home at a quarter after 10pm, I always find AJ passed out in her bed, clothes still on, with french fries scattered about her head. Guess I should be glad he feeds her!

I love my husband to death, but he does annoy me sometimes!! Here's my list...
1. When he says he will clean the kitchen, what he really means is that he will wash the dishes! He never fully cleans the kitchen.
2. He takes his socks off and just tosses them beside the bed. Imagine the pile by the end of the week! He also just leaves his dirty clothes where ever he takes them off at. I hate imagining how his house would look if I were not here!
3. His nose must be broken. I'm convinced. When our DS takes a crap, I can smell it on the other end of the house. DH can be in the same room with DS and not smell it. Either hios nose is elderly, or it's his excuse for not changing a dirty diaper.
4. He hates carrying J's tabletop chair into restaurants "because it's just so much" but in order for our son to behave in a restaurant and not freak out with sensory overload, he has to sit inside a booth and booster seat is a joke. DH complains everytime he has to bring the thing in, so next time I'll tell him he can leave it in the truck and Jayden can sit next to him...Maybe then he'll be as skinny as I am!! BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!

Great post, I'm super annoyed with DH today.
1. Often he acts like the girls' rude older brother instead of their father. ?And then gets pissy when they're disrespectful to him. ?
2. On weekdays he doesn't think he needs to do anything around the house at all, including putting his own beer bottles in the recycle bin.
3. When he's alone with the kids, their hair doesn't get brushed, they don't brush their teeth, they often don't get dressed, they completely trash the house, and they eat crap. ?It is like Lord of the Flies.
4. Seriously, how hard is it to get ready in the morning without waking up the entire family?! ??
ohhh....makinroom..you made me think of others.
#3...my DH's too. he can smell food and good odors, but can NEVER smell dirty diapers, even if he is holding Mitch.
#1...yeah, my DH's idea of "clean" and my idea of "clean" aren't the same.
Oh another one!!! DH usually gets up with Jayden on weekends and it's my chance to sleep in. I always wondered why J had bad breath on weekends. Well last weekend, I let DH sleep in and I got up with Jayden. DH got up Saturday morning and came to the other side of the house and saw me in the bathroom brushing J's teeth. My darling husband asked....
"Why are you doing that??"
WTF?!?! He's two and he has a mouth full of teeth. They need to be brushed!! Now I know why my baby had dragon breath on weekends! LMAO!

I've been annoyed with "DH" for almost 2 weeks now & unfortunately after a big fight you would think he'd try but he hasn't.
1. He can't put his dishes in the dishwasher.
2. He uses 3 glasses a night b/c he doesn't know how to wash one out & reuse it, he also leaves these glasses in the living room all over & sometimes they are kicked over & things spill in the wee hours of the morning.
3. I do the laundry & fold it but somehow it is too much work for him to actually put his laundry away, instead he throws it from the bed to the floor. He also throws dirty clothes on the floor instead of down the chute so sometimes I have to "smell" his clothes to see if they are clean or dirty.
4. He won't play with dd in her room b/c that would mean he can't watch his beloved tv, most of the time he won't play with her b/c he's too tired from working, so when he gets home from work he just sits on his butt the rest of the night.
5. He doesn't feel comfortable giving dd a bath but claims that she "won't let him" give her a bath or change her diaper.
6. He thinks that even when I'm mad at him I should want to have sex with him, b/c he has needs too!
I could probably go on & on but it could get really long. Most of the time he's pretty good about doing things around the house but lately he's just being lazy & with me being pregnant, working part time & being a full time housewife I'm getting sick of it!

In order for the trash to go out, I have to either ask him multiple times, or I have to do it myself. Apparently, walking the trash outside is too much to think about in the morning.
At night, where ever he takes off his clothes are where they stay until I pick them up and throw them in the hamper.
Dishes usually make it to the sink, but the only time they make it to the dishwasher is when I do it. Even if I am not home at night for dinner, I still end up cleaning up the aftermath.
His school books and random papers are EVERYWHERE! When I pile everything up and through it on his side of our bedroom, he complains that he can't find anything. Well, then pick up your sh@! the first time so I don't have to do it for you!!!
1. He put his hobbies and his fun time above his family. I tell him I'm depressed and suicidal. He thinks it's still a great weekend to go up north snowmobiling with the guys because I have things going on this weekend too. This way we can spend all of next weekend together. (Because if he didn't go snowmobiling this weekend, he would have gone next weekend.) How about just ditching the snowmobiling for a while so you can take care of your family?
2. He can't sit still and relax ever. He always has to be doing something, working on something...
3. He treats me like a child and lectures me. I had been sick for a week and took one day where I did nothing all day. He asks me what I did with that tone and then tells me he's pissed that I did nothing. Umm... sick for 3 weeks. Maybe the reason I was sick for 3 weeks was because I didn't rest.

I wish mine wouldn't be sooo "free" with his gross habits. I find most of them seriously repulsive.
My rule - if he doesn't do it in front of his co-workers, I'd appreciate him not doing it in front of me.
1. His disgusting Mountain Dew habit. Drinks it like it's water, all day, every day. And I have the pop cans/bottles/2L to prove it.
2. He is a morning person, and hyper....I am not. So if I choose to get up, leisurely drink my coffee, and thumb through the paper, he thinks I am "mad" at him. And proceeds to tell me how I do things "wrong" in the morning. GRRRR.
3. He will run every single day for miles (healthy) and then eat fast food and crap every day (unhealthy) and wonders why he has blood pressure issues and feels crummy all the time.
