OMG ladies,my dh is SO getting on my nerves this weekend. Thank goodness tomorrow is Monday and he is off to work!
Last night Boo woke up with a night terror and screamed and cried for about 45 minutes. I walked him room to room, and finally got him calmed down enough that he finally fell asleep in our bed. I let him sleep there for about 15 minutes, so I knew he was good and asleep before I moved him to his crib. I didn't get to sleep until 2am. The entire time this was happening, dh was asleep. Then we all woke up later than usual today, and dh says to me, "Man, it feels good to get a lot of sleep." I said, "Yeah, you got a lot of sleep. I was up 'til two with a screaming kid." His reply, "Dylan woke up last night? I didn't know that." OMG, he was screaming in your ear. I think that was just a cover up for, "I didn't want to help you."
Then one little thing that made me mad was dh was playing with Boo, and Boo had dropped some popcorn on the floor. Brian says, "Oh, look at all the popcorn on the floor." Then he walks away like it's going to clean itself. I said under my breath in a sarcastic tone, "That's right. You look at it. I'll pick it up!" Grrrrr! I think I'm PMSing and that is why this stuff is bothering me so much!
I'm sorry Chels. Men can be very oblivious to the obvious. You go right ahead and vent away!!! Mine is taking a puppy nap right now and I think I'll leave it that way for just a little while longer - LOL. The quietness is very bliss right now - KWIM?
I have yet to figure them out too. I noticed the other day..Courtney dropped her wash clothe on the floor in front of the bathroom sink. Jerry went in and took a shower, shaved etc..I went in after him and peed and that dang wash clothe was still sitting there on the floor..now, he can stand on it and not pick it up??? That kind of stuff happens all the time..something can be laying on the floor needing to be picked up..guys just leave it there..like they don't even see it. What's up with that..I mean are they programed not to notice such things? Please.
Trina, your post about the washcloth is an accurate description of my dh! I put crap that needs to go down in the basement right by the basement door, so he can take it down when he goes down there every night (he's always in his workshop). Guess what he does? Steps over it. Your post also reminded me of what I just posted on my blog. Here it is:
So, my hubby came home today after work and told me that I'm the perfect wife. Which made me begin to think about all the wonderful things I do for him. Yes, I am pretty damn wonderful. But then I thought about WHY he thinks I'm so wonderful, and that I think I would like to be him. So are some reasons I want to be a man in my next life.
1. The biggest thing (and I think any woman would agree) is that I would never suffer from cramps, bloating, mood-swings, and those awful monthly visits from you know what. Women got the shaft when it comes to that natural phenomenon.--
2. I could marry a woman, and she would cook for me. I like to eat. I hate to cook. So having a woman cook for me sounds pretty damn good if you ask me. Hopefully she will be someone who knows how to cook well. Of course, I don't think I would marry her if she didn't.--
3. Again, I could marry a woman and she would clean up after me. And trust me, being a man, I would use all of my sloppy-power that I could. And I could pretend to have the inability to see dust, dirt, grime, or dog hair. Oh, and that pile of clothes, well, they wash themselves, don't they?--
4. I could take my shirt off on hot and humid days, and no one would oogle at my chest. And I would never ever have to wear a bra.--
5. I could fart and burp really loud, and my buddies would high-five me, and we'd all laugh like little boys about it.--
6. I could make the excuse that I can't do ANYTHING on a Sunday in the fall/winter season because, gosh darn it, football is on all day. And oh, most Monday nights are out too.--
7. I could go into Home Depot and buy all kinds of tools that I don't really need, but that I have to have because, "I don't have one yet." And owning those tools will make me feel manly. And when my buddies need a tool, I can lend one to them, and they will think I'm the coolest man alive.--
8. My wardrobe will be simple and easy. And I will be one size, and my wife could go out and buy me clothes in that size, and I will never have to question if they will fit me or not, because they will. --
9. No childbirth. --
10. I could sit on the couch, watch tv, and have my hand down my pants and no one would give me a strange look.
Someone else commented that a man could get sick & could act like the world is coming to an end, and that he can't accomplish a thing. But when a woman gets sick, she does everything, without any sympathy!
I went on strike with certain things too - and it only drives me nuts! The worst is watching the kids take after him with this. Doesn't he get that they are watching his every move?!
I concur with everything that's been said so far. Where do I begin with the frustration I feel with my Husband at times. Like this morning he was getting all irate about not being able to find his gym clothes because he had decided to go without telling me so I didn't Know to make sure they were clean and ready for him. I told him he could have said something to me last night and I could have done something about it but there was nothing I could do about it now. Why do men expect you to read their minds? Have they never heard of planing things ahead? Really! If I wanted to go to the gym after work I certainly would make sure I had everything I needed the night before at least. Of course I would have to plan a night at the gym a week in advance at least because I would have to figure out what I was going to do with the kids for child care! It must be nice to fly by the seat of your pants and go do things on the last minute ,not have to worry about anybody or thing but yourself!!
Genie you are too funny. But oh my gosh it's soooo true. I'm still trying to figure out why my hubby calls me when he wants to do something. He actually says "can I..." Like I'm going to tell a 46 year old man NO - LOL. I'm starting to think that he can't make decisions for himself. I got so mad at him one day that I told him if he wants a mother figure then he needs to go live with his mother because she has an extra room. That stopped him dead in his tracks and he said "ewww no way" - LOL.
That old saying "a son is a son until he takes a wife but a daughter is a daughter for the rest of her life". Hmmm excuse me but no where in that sentence does it say "a son is a son until he takes a wife to replace his mother"!!!!
