My dh really put his foot in his mouth yesterday. I worked all day, took ds to meet his friend that he rides with to karate, came home and did 3 loads of laundry, and was unloading the dishwasher, when he walked in from visiting with our neighbor for 2 hours. I had not cooked supper because I had cooked a big birthday dinner for dd the day before and had my whole family over as well as dh's mom and brother. Left over in the fridge were ham, dressing, green beans, corn, peas, potato salad, and macaroni and cheese. He said, "Hmmmmm. No supper. I guess I'll have to fix some nachos." I ignored that and just gave him the look. Then when he was going through the fridge looking for stuff for his nachos, he picked up a piece of chicken that was in a ziplock bag. I told him quickly not to eat that. It was 4 or 5 days old and needed to be thrown out. He had the nerve to say, "As a housewife I would expect you to make sure the fridge is cleaned out regularly so no one gets sick." That made me so mad!  I said, "First off, I AM NOT a housewife. If you want a housewife,(no offense to stay at home wives  ) bring home more money and I'll be happy to quit my job so I can clean out the fridge more often between doing your laundry, feeding your kids and running them all over town." He couldn't understand why it made me so mad.  To top it off, he ate his nachos and went to bed while I waited for ds to call so I could go pick him up. DS's friend's car broke down on the interstate. Her dad picked them up but by the time I met them later it was after midnight. I got 3 hours of sleep and had to get ready for work. Yet I should do a better job cleaning out the fridge. I just had to vent.

You go girl tell him off. We will have your back. Sometimes men think we are super women. I hear stuff like that from my husband sometimes. Usually when we have lleft overs. I dont think they like them. Lots of love Catherine

He would have gotten the chicken upside the head, then I would never clean the fridge again. One time my husband said I didn't have to do his laundry (I think he doesn't like the way I fold but didn't actually say that) and I haven't done his laundry since.

Bama, Bama, Bama........ my southern friend.... what comforting words can I say except.... husbands say the stupidest things sometimes. You must be what they call a REAL southern LADY as my DH wouldn't have survived and it would have been referred to for infinity as the "chicken incident." Just remember, you are not alone....... vent with the sisterhood. Patty

YAY Bama !!!!!!!!!!!!! I usually tell my husband to 'f' himself or I call him a lazy 'bstd' and if he doesn't like the way I do things, theres the door, and don't let it hit you in the butt....(I'm NOT cleaning anymore mess's today...) I'm not his mother, I'm not the maid...I live here, so I keep it as clean as I can...don't like it, go home to your mother...(I've known him for 33 yrs this yr...I've never seen his mother clean anything...and thats the truth.) next time hit him with a stick...(I keep 2 in the house...nice big heavy ones...just in case..)

My response would be "if you don't like the way the fridge is kept do it yourself or hire me a housekeeper!" Demanding a housekeeper usually shuts the comments off at my house. Or my favorite response is "I'm not your mother or your maid." But the response about him making enough money to allow you to quit your job and stay home was the best and it always hits where it hurts the most. It is understood in my house by my dh that as long as I'm employed 8 hours a day, 5 days a week that we both live in this house, we're both adults and if you want something, get up and get it or if you're hungry, fix yourself something to eat. However, I have a feeling that once I'm retired, I'll be expected to do a lot more without his help than I'm doing now, but we'll have to see how that "song" will be written. Patsy Patsy

I vote for a strike! Feel free to vent anytime; there are many a day that I sit and spend way too much time on this site instead of doing "whatever", because I am ticked-off, or need some time to myself, and sitting at the computer gives me that "alone" time I crave. I can't count how many times in the past 12 months I have gotten on my DH"s case because he isn't pulling his fair share of duties. Here's my scenario -- I wake him every morning at 4:30; sleep till around 6, then get up and let my daycare kids in (not every day, but at least 3 times a month), and so my day begins. I go to bed after he does, because I'm still picking up, or cleaning or something. Tonight everyone is asleep and I am compiling all of our tax documentation so I can get our taxes to the accountant ASAP! It's the first chance I have to actually get something completed without interruption from him and the kids. And besides doing daycare all day, I also work part-time outside of the house. And when I am working (outside the house, mind you), I get phone calls asking where stuff is, why we don't have it etc. So, I'm right there with you on the inconsiderate husband thing. I've even gone as far as telling him he is setting a bad example for our children, since I'm supposed to do it all. Now, please accept my apologies! I feel like I'm taking over your vent, and I didn't mean to do that! Let's go buy so more fabric.....I've got some $$ left over after the bills were paid -- and they can just eat beans & rice for dinner!

I think men are born missing a gene or something. It's the one that sends the message saying "Stop and shut up!". Maybe not so much a strike as a role reversal. One time when he has holidays (and just stays home), continue to go to work and inform him that while he is at home and you are at work he can take over the household chores. Make sure you let go of anything not noticeable for the week or so beforehand so that you can come home and point out to him in detail all the items he has neglected to take care of. Sounds nice in theory anyway. Pauline

I've heard the saying "Nobody knows what it is that I do, until I don't do it" or something like that. It's so true. My husband is bad about making stupid comments like that. Sometimes even at other people like his mother or my mother or sister. He always tells me that HIS mother raised 5 kids, worked, kept the house spotless, and always had supper cooked. I said, "Yes, but she's a bitter woman now." One time I was complaining about him not helping in the house and he told me that the inside of the house is my job and the things that have to be done outside are his job.  Stupid, stupid comment. I have not touched the lawn mower since. That was 2 years ago. I'm off in the summer so I used to help out alot with mowing the grass. Not anymore. When he asked me last summer if I wanted to hoe the garden (are you kidding?) since he was working all week, I reminded him that I put the veggies in the freezer since that's an indoor job. I don't grow them.  It's nice to have people here to vent to!!! Feel free to do the same! |

My husband would have had chicken for dinner!! But I can't complain. He tries very hard to do his share. When the kids were younger he didn't keep up with his share of the housework but he was always good about hauling them around and such. Now he does more than his share I think. Dorothy |

I think you all need a sign like mine. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c140/finch3380/Stash%20challenge/scan0001a.jpg But I also think if I had been able to hold my tongue that he would have had a lovely caesar salad for tea. I am a stay at home mum, who is also tring to start a home business. I had to put my foot down and make the point that my primary job now is the children. Anything other than that is shared duties. I still have to go off on a bender every month or so - they just love to blame PMS for it, but it is only Putting up with Mens S###. The one concession I have achieved is the washing. Hubby does all of the washing on the weekends. So when the clothes aren't washed, he gets the blame from the kids. Apart from washing my material, I am slowly forgetting what it is all about. A week of cooking their own meals should sort them. You can even get sick of Nachos in that amount of time.
Cheers, Soph.

I work at home and nobody really believes I actually work. I can be facing three deadlines and have a meeting to go to and I get a "could you do such and such or call so and so for me today?" And with three male bosses and a husband with demands on my time I have to be tough or I'd be a soggy, wrung out old mop. Dorothy |

Oh I feel your pain! My 1st husband was like that, actually he did very little at all, so much so I decided I could do it on my own . My 2nd DH though is amazing, okay I'm going to brag! I don't work, but when we decided I wasn't going to work, it was him that said my job was the kids! The house stuff is OUR stuff, meaning he'll help with housework - cleaning, laundry, dinners, etc - so I help with yard work & animal stuff. I find that with his mentality we work so well as a team - we even tag team the kids . I tell people it probably has to do with him being raised by a single mom & his grandmother, these women working full-time sometimes 2 jobs. As he got old enough his job was often doing things to help them - like the house work! So when he became married - no big deal - he was already trained for it I even tease him that I got the pre-trained package

Wow! I wanted to start a thread like this but didn't know if anyone would be interested in hearing me gripe. Bama and the other ladies with lamo husbands I hear you! I am in the same boat. I don't even know where to start. It will take way too long. I will just give you a little taste of what my life is like. My husband works from home. We live in a 950 sq ft apt with two kids and a cat. His office is in our living room. It is a complete pig sty. Not because of me and the kids. There are old computers all over. I keep hearing "I will clean up my stuff. I need them for parts etc." There are two of them that have been in here for three years. We can't have anyone over. Not just because our place is small but because of all of his crap everywhere. He is in my face, in my space, I can go on and on. When we were first married we both worked. It wasn't until I had my first baby that he decided to have his own bussiness and not provide properly for his family. I didn't know how he was fully until then. He provides better now but is still around a lot and is overbearing. And he always says I am the problem and it is my fault. If he can only see how me and the kids are when he is not here. It is heaven. Like right now for instance. that is how I am able to chat with you all. I better shut up. It might not last.

My hubby complained one time about leftovers being pushed to the back of the fridge and then growing things. I just lmao because he is to blame for not eating them NOT ME. It was said in the FINE print of our wedding vows that Jane does NOT EVER eat leftovers. I can't stand them so they are his, willingly of course. But...when things turn up moldy in our fridge? It is HIS fault!  We don't have kids but he is still pretty good about helping with dishes and the laundry. The housework? OMG NEVER. If he could, he would live in a barn! Doesn't bother him one bit. Laura, Just read your post. You have every right to brag! I feel that I am a little too! I have a pretty understanding guy and he helps out whenever he can. He doesn't want me to work but I do to get out and have FABRIC money and the extras. Brag and vent all you like, we are the sisterhood! "A trip to the fabric store is my therapy"

I always laugh whenever I hear someone say wedding vows and fine print in the same sentence. My hubby said one day that there was no fine print on his marriage certificate. Somehow I kept a straight face, and told him that if he really looked, that's what all of the pretty decorative scrollwork really was - the fine print. He lasted a couple of days, but it finally got the better of him, and had to have a look. But of course, he gave himself away when he had to ask me where it was. It's the best laugh I think I have ever had, seeing him looking through a magnifying glass just to check out whether I was right or not.
Cheers, Soph.

I'm blaming this side of dh's behavior on his mother. I love them both but she has always babied her boys. Still does. We've been married 19 years and he still goes to her house on his off days to have breakfast. She calls to make sure he's going to be there. I always bite my tongue because I know he won't always have his mother. It used to hurt my feelings, but now I'm glad he goes. I don't usually do breakfast on weekends unless it's pancakes for the kids. I quit years ago trying to make him breakfast biscuits. He always compared them to his mothers. My kids like the biscuits I make. (my nephew begs for my cheese biscuits!) Of course dh puts his foot in his mouth when comparing my cooking to his moms. (These are good, but why don't you get MOM to show you how to make them?") One of these days I'm going to tell him what I think about his mom's tough old biscuits (They're exactly how my home ec teacher said NOT to make biscuits) , but I wouldn't want him to go and tell her what I say. Why hurt her feelings over it? My dh is great in alot of ways. He just needs to realize were not living in the 50's. And realize I AM NOT his mother. |

Oh...my husband cooks...(he was a restaurant cook when I met him.) He can bake..and sometimes he does his own laundry. (not mine...once was enough). He also mows the lawn. (he has to, I'm allergic to grass..hee hee). But -I- have to make sure theres food in the house, everything works. ( if I can't fix it, I call someone who can) If I ask him what he wants for dinner, he takes too long to make a decision, so I make it for him. I also pick out his clothes, otherwise he'd be wearing brown cords and purple shirts. (he says I'm a little strict on the clothes colors..and I say yes...and don't you always look nice, no matter what you wear...and he says, Ok...the women at work, and when he travels always say he looks nice...I say, see there... wear what I say and you'll always look like a million bucks )But he never see's anything around him, unless I point it out and we need something NEW...(hear the fridge...the condenser is going...etc..) He never cleans up after the ferrets...(I get tired of potty box duty...it takes 10 mins whats so hard ???) and....He likes to use every pot, bowl , dish in the house to make -1- thing...(example, cookies...it takes -3- mixing bowls for -1- batch of cookies...and for me it takes -1- bowl, same cookies) and even though we have a dishwasher, he doesn't seem to use it... So he may work and pay all the bills. ( I was told not to work anymore by my Dr's), but it seems I do all the work and I get tired and cranky....(then I have a shouting match...where I shout and he says, yes I know, yes I did do that, yes I know you're right....it's not fun when you have to fight the yes man...)

My DH was retired when we married - and I was still working. He did the cooking, shopping and most of the cleaning then. I retired 7 years ago, and SO DID HE! Dang! Now, I do most of the cooking, shopping, and cooking - - unless I just don't do it. Then we just have 'reruns' - or he can fix a bowl of soup. Leftovers - I put them into a single serve container - in the freezer. Never leave them in the fridge for more than one day. And declare a 'left over' night when the freezer is getting too full.

I think you all need a sign like mine. I laughed out loud when I saw that. I definitely need to make one of those (it will go with the one I have that says "If there's a ring in the tub, please answer it". My dh is pretty good, but really stepped up to the plate when I had to go in to work more. Now he makes dinner the nights I work, and he cleans up if I cook dinner. He also tries to not complain about the cleanliness of the floors since they seem to be perpetually dirty. Usually by the time it's driving him nuts, it's driving me nuts too. I don't say too much if he grabs the cleaner and goes to it  It's only taken 14 years to get to this stage! Oh well, better late than never!

He had the nerve to say, "As a housewife I would expect you to make sure the fridge is cleaned out regularly so no one gets sick." Woah ... I'm surprised you didn't whip out the light saber and go all Darth Vader on him. For instance, my response to him (if I was a woman) would have been something like the following: "As a husband I would expect you to show a little more respect for your wife who makes sure there is food for you to fill that rude hole of yours." |

All men are animals, but some make better pets! OK, let me start out saying that we now have no human children in the house, just a cat & a dog. DH and I work at the same facility. Usually I get up at 5:50, take my shower & get dressed, then wake him at 6:20, no biggie. Usually I also make our lunch and pack it, usually no biggie either. However, sometimes I just don't feel like doing it so I tell him that it's his turn. He grumbles and usually does it or we eat lunch out that day. Now, he usually does the cooking after work because he won't do the dishes, that's fair, right? A couple of weeks ago he asked me when I was going to take my turn fixing supper and I shot back, "When you take your turn doing the dishes." He hasn't said anything about cooking supper since! I'll cook, but only if I feel like it! One night he didn't feel like cooking and I suggested bar-b-cue take out. He liked that idea so I called and ordered, but I made him go and get it! He didn't lilke that idea! He usually doesn't do laundry, unless he runs out of uniforms (he doesn't have enough to make a full week and sometimes he works one day on the weekend), then he will do a load, but not hang it up! He tried that inside/outside job thing, but it didn't work because the grass doesn't grow here for months at a time and there isn't really much to do outside, except to burn the trash (or make a run to the dump) and I usually have to remind him a few times about the burning thing! I guess I can't complain too much though, in a couple of weeks we will be having our 29th anniversary! Kelly

I too consider myself fortunate as my husband comes from a family of four boys who grew up on a farm and are used to doing chores around the house....they grew up doing dishes, laundry (and it goes back so far they even had to go outside to pump water and bring it in, put it on the wood stove and haul wood to heat the water!).... How's that for aging him? I'm a bit younger! He is retired from his job of 34 years but works a PT job just for extra $$ and to keep busy... I haven't worked outside for 3 years. That said....he also served in the Army for a couple of years (where they teach them to make their beds and peel potatoes and onions!) There is nothing written in stone between my DH and I but we both know what our chores are and we do them and yes, we grumble about them as does everyone else, but not so much to each other as we do just grumble to ourselves! LOL Our kids are long gone, but even before they left I had them doing their own laundry and DH does his own also. I do all the cooking but DH will help with the peeling and chopping without complaining if I ask him to.... I load the dishwasher and he unloads it.....he makes the bed as he is the last one out of it every morning (helps being an early riser!) LOL I feed the inside dog, he feeds the outside dog. I can have a cat as long as I am the one that cleans the cat box. I do all the dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing and mopping inside.....he cuts, splits and hauls all the wood for winter heating and loads the stove every morning and night.. occasionally I help him stack the wood because I like that job. OH, and I do ALL the mowing.....I love to mow!!! My favorite part of summer! We both share in the gardening. Have I made any of you jealous yet?? LOL Like I said, I feel very fortunate so I don't complain often. But I sure loved reading all your posts!!! Gave me a good giggle this morning! |

| I put some funny sayings about husbands in this forum but none of them pertain to my DH. We ran a tree nursery together for years and if I was out serving customers he would start the meals. Later when we both went back to work for others we both shared the indoor and outdoor work plus looking after the 2 boys. Now both boys married and have children and they are just like their Dad. They share the work. Think I will go to living room and give him a hug. jessie s |

I feel very fortunate and blessed also that dh and I don't have anything written in stone, we just seem to naturally fall into a rythm of keeping the indoor chores done together and he does the outside. However, since I've had this back pain thing (going on 8 months now and the docs are still taking their sweet old time with everything) dh has done just about everything that has been done around the house.

The only problem I have with my husband is,he is deaf,wears an earing aid and DON'T turn it on.... You can sometimes hear me 3 kms away or I just give up talking..... Other than that he's great..

Mine has pretty severe hearing loss, but refuses to even consider a hearing aid. I may have to do some of that 'justified nagging' and just make an appointment for him. I'm really tired of repeating what I say. And the level of the TV has to be lots higher for him than we really need. He did go in for gastric problems last fall. He's still having problems, but doesn't want to go back in. He also has joint problems, but won't even consider talking to the doc about that - "It's normal when you get old!!!" What a crock! There are so many things that can be done - if he'd let them do it. Oh, well - We do what we can. Judi
