Just something that I've seen on another forum. It can be a source of amusement, conversation and getting to know people on other forums, without spamming the place up with the smaller stuff that heck, some days you just wanna say it!
Something bugging you? Stumbled across something interesting but not really worth its own thread? Want to know the answer to life, the universe and everything? This is the thread for you! Wishful Thinking - when your baby/toddler starts to cry, and your DH/DP rolls over and starts hitting away at their alarm clock trying to find the snooze button You gotta wonder if you need more adult conversation when: One night your husband raises his read off the pillow, and in the quiet tone, usually raised for your little one, you lovingly say "back to sleep" or then later your DH passes wind in his sleep, and you jokingly giggle and say "farties" the way you do to your 15th month old. My DH isn't going to like seeing last nights sleeping habits splashed across the page here, but I found them funny and had to share -------------

I have something that bugs me daily.....
We have been living in this house for nearly 4 years. Why can't DH remember where things go in the cupboards. The measuring cup has it's own spot, but today I found it with the saucepans. The mugs go on one side, glasses on the other but he puts them all over the show. Don't get me started about the colander!!! ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

Since I've had a baby I get the feeling that people have no clue about me at all - and possibly don't let that worry them too much. Since my birthday I've pretty much had that confirmed.
Not that I'm not grateful for the presents I get but some of them really make me wonder.... -------------

At least yours doesnt go bonkers if you put the cups away with the handles facing 0.1 degrees off where he likes them to go.
And at LEAST he doesnt go crazy if the coaster your coffee cup is turned 0.25 degrees. My DH gets his towel, flannel, socks, boxers/undies, shirt and pants all lined up for work the night before. He also has a lot of bits and pieces that go on his work uniform like badges and things that clip on his belt. He lines these all up on our dresser in a line. One day he asked me to get her towel etc ready for him as he was busy, simple, right? I got in trouble for not unrolling his socks and lying them over his boxers. Sorry my bad, I had them lying UNDER his boxers. And he denies having OCD

I don't think that will ever happen in our house, he'll get a new roll out, but do you think he know how to remove the empty one and put it on the holder, NO! Oh and starting a new roll before the old one has run out, annoys me too. I don't know if they're born that way or its cause their mothers did it for them but I've yet to meet a man who will change the toilet roll. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Not to brag or anything ... but my Dh changes the toilet roll  and he even CLEANS the toilet lol
But, alas, nobody is perfect. Not only does my DH not know where stuff goes in the cupboard, but I hate the way he packs the dishwasher - I swear he does it backwards. And he can never find anything ... I'm always getting asked 'where's my wallet' 'where's my keys' 'where's my .....' Drives me nuts ... like I know where everything is even though he had it last! And don't even get me started on the way he hangs out the washing  ------------- TTC#1: Jan 07 Aug 08: Lap found and excised Stage 3 Endo Nov 08: 2nd lap clear - given OK to TTC after next AF |

Um, I actually have the perfect DH.
I woke at 3 am this morning with a nasty headache so I woke him up and asked him to get me 2 wet flannels for my head and neck, he did it straight away without question. Then just as he got back into bed I asked him to get me my codiene, not only did he fetch it from the bathroom, he brought the bottle back to me and got a pill out and put it in my hand. Then when my (also perfect) daughter woke up at 8am he got her, changed her and brought her in to me to feed, then he put her back to bed. He got up and did several loads of washing while I slept in. I don't know why he is so good to me. I am always asking him to do stuff for me and he just does it! He never asks me to do anything. The only complaint I have is that if he eats a cherry or stone fruit he leaves the pip/stone on the nearest surface. There are a few on the window sill in the kitchen, many next to his computer, a couple on the table and one next to the basin in the bathroom  . But I can look past this as he is making me some pikelets for lunch now hehe, I am SOOOO lucky!-------------

well , I have to say that my DF is very good to, like Chickoins and does what hes asked mostly , apart from ironing his shirts, but hey they are his shirts, so I don't really care . But I want to join in the conversation , so I will find something that annoys me , watch this space -------------

My DF is much like the other men - looks for something, can't find it, so asks me. "Where are the paper towels?" hrmmm on the shelf where they usually are. "No they're not" - are you sure, cos I'm looking at them right now. He still couldn't see them (on the shelf where they normally are). And last night - the fly spray was sitting on the coffee table right in front of him. "Hun, where's the fly spray?" I just looked pointedly at the coffee table. "Oh" he said. LOL
He's not so bad really...just that stuff around the house isn't his forte. Mind you, neither is outside stuff unless it involves his racing car....although to give him credit, since we found out I'm pregnant, he's cooked tea most nights and done the dishes (thsi is UNHEARD of!!) because I'm just so darned knackered that I can't be bothered. And he always apologises to me when I have a go at him  even if it's just cos of my hormones.

Oh well, I suppose knowing where everything is gives us one more reason to be right all the time lol.

My DH is awesome with cooking and housework (even changing the toilet roll and putting the seat down), and getting me things when I ask him - he just about always does whatever I ask of him, which constantly has me impressed. And he always apologises quickly if we ever have a "discussion" haha.
But like other guys... he is totally useless with finding things he will get in a grump if whatever he wants to find isn't just suddenly at his fingertips, and he will start throwing the couch cushions off the couch, sweeping things off tables etc. instead of calmly looking around for what is "lost". It drives me mad.
Another thing is that he doesn't like talking to people on the phone. Which makes it annoying because the power/phone/internet etc. is all under his name so if we ever have a problem I have to beg him to ring them, instead of just being able to ring them myself lol.------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

I believe there is a term for men not finding things that are right in front of them if dh does this i will often ask him if he had a man look or a mothers look.

mine is more to do with electronic equipment....our TV MUST be interconnected with dvd/stereo/sky/kitchen blender etc etc and of course operating such a confusing mess is not as simple as just pushing the ON button.
So apparently, as soon as i actually figure out how to use the multiple remotes to watch or listen to anything, it is a necessity to buy new contraptions and re-wire the lounge, and we're back to me not being able to operate the bloody TV! and whenever i ask, all i get is - push the blah blah button (as if i were an idiot) now it's not like i'm electronically incompetent, but when you need 3 remotes just to watch the TV!!!

My Man gripe for the day - DF cannot seem to put his dirty socks in the washing basket. . . . . EVER!! He gets home from work and pulls his socks off in the middle of the living room and there they lay until the "cleaning fairy" picks them up. I mean, how hard is it to pick your socks up.

lol Sam! Now I have the vegemite song in my head too (the Peanut Butter Nutter song tried but couldn't drive it out). But at least it's pushed out the "Chicken Boo" song we've recently taken to singing to JJ.
"Chicken Boo, what's the matter with you? You don't act like the other chickens do. You wear a disguise, to look like human guise, but you're not a man, you're a chicken boo, doo doo-de-doo-de-doo..." My DH is the same as pretty much everyone else's. We've got code in our house now though, if he asks me where something is and it's in the proper place (like keys in the key jar, for instance), the answer is "in the butter conditioner". (Does anyone remember that ad from the old marg/butter ad wars, the kid preparing a midnight snack? "oh no, where's the butter?" "in the butter conditioner, where it should be...") -------------
