Snark about your DP here!

[maisiedotes]

I am ready to clobber my DH. Firstly, he had me outside yesterday, squatting down to measure the area for a shed that we are having delivered on Monday. Then the angle was wrong (somehow my fault) so he not only snapped at me but made me measure it again. It HURTS to squat down. My knees hurt and it is uncomfortable! Then today, after work, he had me looking for some godforsaken extension cord that he had NO idea where it was. I was in the attic where it is approximately 10,000 degrees because he said it may be there. It wasn't. He insisted I go back in and look. I then had to untagle the mess of wires (did you see National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation? It was like that). He was at least doing prep work for the shed.

He doesn't get how uncomfortable it is for me. The baby hates when I bend over, too. I can tell she is getting squished in there. But if I don't help DH do some of this crap he gets so snippy and "FINE, I will do it myself. FINE, it won't get done then". Ya know, being a big baby and all.

Wow, he sounds like mine. Mine is weird though - he tells me to take it easy and be careful, then he puts me through these paces whenever he needs something from me. Now that I'm showing more he's a little more considerate. But just a little.

It's how he's always been though - I need to be available whenever he needs something fetched or someone to hold the other end of a measuring tape or whatever. But if I ever ask him to help me...hah!

I've pointed this out to him numerous times, but it doesn't stick.

[maisiedotes]

OMG. Are you married to my husband? If I ask for help forget it! (selective hearing). And he does not explain things well and then has a coniption if I don't understand. I don't think he gets it. I am not lifting heavy things. I should not have to take the trash out while he sleeps late. I wanna sleep late too! But, if I don't get the trash out, it doesn't go out.

I am getting irked. :

OMG OMG! Exactly the same! We're married to the same guy, apparently.

That is the WORST. He tells me to do something but doesn't give me all the information and then gets upset when I don't do it the way he expected me to. Then he tells me he didn't think he needed to elaborate because I should have known how to do it. Never mind if there are at least eight different methods - if I don't automatically use the one he would use, it's wrong.

It makes me SOOOOO mad.

[maisiedotes]

Um... YEAH, DH's, we are not mind readers!

I like all your emoticons. I never noticed some of them!

[crunchywannabe]

ok-here is my rant.

DH-
I don't want sex right now. Sorry, I just don't

I understand that you find my pregnant body very sexy. I understand that you love me.

But I am tired. I am sore. And I don't want to do anything.

PERIOD!

[renaissanceed]

And here is mine!

DH 'needs' a lot of personal time. This means that every evening he comes home from work, goes upstairs to our office and hangs out in front of the computer - which is what he does ALL DAY LONG:

Meanwhile, I am trying to entertain a toddler and not fall over from exhaustion and make dinner. Sure, he eats dinner with us, and when I take Miriam to the park, he often feels guilty enough to go with us, but then when it comes to bath and bed time, I'm on my own again.

Don't I need some alone time too? (YES!)

OK, gotta leave work now and go home to hang out with DD.

[yogachick79]

Edwina, sounds like mine. And then he complains when I come home and go straight to the kitchen to cook dinner for the kids.. Um hello, if it REALLY bothered you, get your lazy a$$ of the couch/bed/computer and fix something before I get home to help. Or how about doing laundry, dishes, taking out the trash... Any of those would help.

Um yeah to top it off, he just screamed at me to shut the f... up over the phone about 15 minutes ago

Yeah, sometimes his temper isn't the best... Turned a great afternoon bad really fast.

[maisiedotes]

My DH is currently shovelling gravel- I should be grateful that he is not asking for help with that! He did ask me to come help him drag all his tools from the yard onto the back porch. And coil up the extension cord I worked so hard to find and untangle.

Oh, and another thing- a letter to my DH:
Dear DH: Please return your 6 months worth of beer bottles that are on the back porch. It is bad enough I rinse them out and stack them all- you could AT LEAST return them. I am sick of looking at them.

I LOVE it! DH does take out the trash, vacuum, and get up with the kids. Though he's taking a job in Baton Rouge, 1300 miles away and we won't be following until next summer...

DH-
Why won't you read my mind at 5:30 am and wake up and give me sex? I had a hot dream and you owe me. I am carrying your child. I want it allll the time and you would rather sleep so you can get to work in the morning.:

[Grace24]

Thank you!

My DH used to do this, but finally got lazy enough that he just puts them out with the recycling. The neighbourhood homeless people love us on recycling night

We should do that, but I have never seen anyone even WALKING on our street, never mind looking for bottles. My mom tells my dad if he returns his ginger ale cans he can keep the money for spending money. That is, like, three dollars a month. Cha-CHING! That will buy him a week's worth of newspapers... big spender!

I may simply tell him he has to return the bottles and that will be his beer money- if he does not return them, NO BEER. That ought to get him!

That was great!!!

[sorteep]

well timed!

mine about lost his life today.. he has decision making probs.. it took him a whole year to buy a car once and shopping with him is THE most frustrating experience I have ever had.. He simply can NOT decide and laments every TINY nuance of EVERY purchase.. well, we need a new family rm couch (old house had no fam rm) we moved over 2 yrs ago... anyway.. we have been furniture shopping for about six mos with double digit trips to MANY furniture stores// he just refuses to make a decision.. anyhoo.. I literally freaked on him today in a store parking lot.. I mean. I went BALLISTIC (this is NOT like me) and we were in public (a HUGE pet peeve of DH) it was UGLY.. we did, at least come home with a couch but he isn't speaking to me

he shops and FINALLY makes a decision and buys something THEN he CONTINUES to shop for same item to "make sure" he made the right decision.. even on small stuff like a suitcase.. it is a mental prob.. like OCD or something,, I have gotten to the point that unless I HAVE to I refuse to shop with him at all, but big mutual purcahses we get stuck with

It's a good thing I love him and he can out run me right now!
