Does your DH?

[DB&O]

Does your DH do anything that really frustrates you, for examlpe my DH will feed Olivia her lunch or dinner without taking any care of where the food is going, so she ends up with food all over herself, her clothes & the surrounding 5 metres or so (ok, I may be slightly exaggerating :D ) then he just throws the clothes in the hamper as per normal. I then practically have to peel them apart & spend the next week trying to soak & scrub the stubborn pasta sauce stains out of her clothes. I've asked him to take a little more care, especially as she wears a lot of P/Patch clothing (that isn't cheap) but he seems to think I like to spend my days in the laundry.
So do you have any gripes with your DH or DP? Tell me please I need to know I'm not the only one:o
Ciao,
Brooke.

On Saturday mornings we have to leave home at 9am to get to hockey on time. My morning goes -
get up at 7 am and feed bubba solids til 7.30am
7.30am breastfeed until 8am
get bubba dressed
get the 10 year fed and make sure that they have all their gear
get myself fed
have a shower (if I have time)

DH morning goes -
8.45 get up, have shower and breakfast
9.00 sit in car and complain about how it takes everyone so long to get ready and how we never get anywhere on time.

If I wake him up at 7am and ask him to do the solids he just rolls over and goes back to sleep.
If I wake him before 8.45 and ask him to get bubba dressed I have to have everything all laid out ready anyway.

He also took over the baths for two whole nights (said that he would do it but gave up). Him giving the bath consists of me running the bath, me stripping bubba, me putting bubba in the bath, me being given bubba back wet and naked after the bath. His contribution was to watch him...

Jane and Brooke, we're your hubby's like this prior to the bubs arrival -- Stubborn, cranky, tempramantal, usually asking when is dinner???
I'm due in Sept. just wondering what I have to look forward to!
Now PLEASE tell me some good points so I have something to look forwardto!!!:fingerscrossed:

[Mum&bubs]

Sam's mum- your DP sounds just like mine!!!!!!!!!!

Mine frustrates me because i can only use the computer as long as i take summer upstairs with me (computer is upstairs) he knows i cant use the computer when she is around as she throws a tantrum and wants to go on it herself.

If i ask for a foot rub or something nice for a change it always comes back "see what i do for you, you never do anything for me...YOU OWE ME etc etc etc he will never do it just because "he loves me "

He knows Summer wont go to bed until we do so he stays up till middnight...what more can i say!!

ahh i can go on all night. This is just the small stuff i can add heaps more if i had the time :banghead: :laughing:

[Starlet]

My Dp tidies up and puts things away, then never remembers where he's put them and it's usually something important that I need.

He must be colour blind as well because the kids clothes never match and he can't read either because he always put them in the wrong size clothes(he put a pair of 'pants' on my almost 4y/o I pulled him up on it and he said, 'what's wrong with his shorts?', exactly that, they're not SHORTS, they're size 1 PANTS. :banghead:

Oh and he tried to do the whole wonderful boyfriend bit by cooking dinner and instead of 20ml of cream in the beef stroganoff he put in 200ml, again, he can't read. Needless to say, we had pizza for dinner that night! lmao.


Even so, I love my partner to bits, no matter how much he frustrates me!

[tommylu]

My DH has this annoying habit to tidy things up and put them away ASAP ! not only his things put everyones elses things too !(ie: ive just fed DS go wash his hands and everything ive just used is gone/put away ! i know i shouldnt complain about this,but it maskes me feel like im messy/lazy/untidy if i dont do it straight away !!!not only that,he throws things away without even asking !!! i cant tell you how many times ive gone to the bin to throw something out and i see my kids TOYS in there ! no wonder my kids and i spend the whole day looking for their "lost" toys !!!:banghead: so now i just put postits on things i dont want thrown out !!! LOL :idea: :laughing:

[Mum2Tyla]

I don't even want to get started about mine as I amy not stop but it my fault he was a lazy pig before I met him, he is disgusting he leaves dirty tissues all round the house he had a flu so he just coughs flem up in the sink and leaves it there, he leaves his clothes from one end of the house to the other, he is a mechanic and leaves dirty hand prints all over the house, i could go on all night but i feel better now i have that out of my system.

[Mister Noodle]

I do all KINDS of irritating stuff.

But I won't remind her of specifics - I get in enough trouble as it is

[Tam-I-Am]

Lol Mr Noodle.

Geez, you guys have it bad! My DH is annoying enough specially when he DOESN'T LISTEN TO ME!! He just kind of bypasses what I say. really annoys me. BUT

He does help with the housework. Lots. We have pretty much a 50/50 split - sometimes he does more, sometimes I do more, but its pretty even. It does get my goat when he puts dishes on the sink above the dishwasher, or rubbish on the bench above the bin (I mean, how hard is it to place said item in the inside the recipticle?!?) but he really is a keeper!

[SassyMummy]

DP SUCKS when it comes to helping out with Chanel!

Whenever he has a day off, I might try to get him to feed Chanel ONCE...and after a lot of whinging, he agrees...but even then, I have to get it all set up...and just roll DD over in her highchair, with everything he needs to do it. Then I have to roll her back and clean her off.

He also refuses to put her in the carseat, EVER, saying that it's too hard for him to do it because he's tall and since I'm short...it's much easier for me. He also never really puts ANYTHING into the car...I leave DD with him and get everything ready, including fill the car up with the pram etc...and then get her, put her in...and then he gets in the car...and I lock the front door behind him.

As for morning feeds! YOU'RE JOKING! There's no way he'll get up. Sometimes I just lay still when she wakes up, pretending I can't hear her because I'm still asleep...until he finally gets up and does it...then I roll over and take his spot...lol. Still, that rarely happens...it's probaby happened 3 times in her 10 months of life.

I guess that why women have babies though...Dads just aren't as good at it all usually...

[nemosmum]

DH wipes DS nose on his shirt, even when he can see a box of tissues is within reach:eek: :mad: it frustrates the hell out a me:banghead:

Its soooooo dirty!!!!!:shame:

[Ana Gram]

I'd love to make a contribution to this great thread, but I don't have a spare 24 hours to type up all the things that my partner does to annoy me :laughing:

[EskimoMumma]

My only gripe about my DP is that he doesnt shower most weekends. Poowee!The rest hes really good :D ..But annoyances..i hate how he leaves the bathroom floor wet after a shower...

[Tulp]

:D made me chuckle reading the posts. Over the weekend we had friends over and I of course made dinner. So after dinner DH tells us all to just take our cups of coffee and go relax. He literally threw me out of the kitchen saying he'll clean up. Said I've done lots already.

Anyway I come in 1/2 hr later and there are still some stuff in the sink, the bench hadn't been wiped down, some stuff on the dinner table..... so I obviously start cleaning them up. He walks in and says "hey I was doing that.. you go relax." This time I kicked him out of the kitchen and told him it would have all been cleaned already if he just let me help him clean up in the first place.

But he felt really bad but keeping his chirpy self, stayed to help me real quick at the same time trying to say stuff to make me feel better. It was a long day and I guess exhaustion got to me. Don't think he'll every stop me from trying to help him clean up after meals again.

Overall he's fantastic. No annoying habits really. Or maybe I just don't see it :D

[alicesmum]

no annoying habits as such, just really slap-dash when it comes to everything from cleaning bums ("um...there's still poo on her bum honey!") to wiping down benchtops (never happens) to feeding (yes, DD's food everywhere). my inner mantra has become "let it go. it doesn't matter." :p

kelly - your dp sounds like a grot LOL (dirty tissues eeeeeeewwwww:laughing: )

mr noodle - you sound like a charming partner. i can't believe you would have even one annoying habit.....;)

[jackieb76]

I can relate to so many of these posts as my DP is guilty of quite a few of the annoyances mentioned:

* Only gets himself ready to go out (jumps in the shower 5mins before we are due to leave) and then *****es that everyone is taking too long and that we are going to be late.

* Leaves his socks on the lounge room floor every single day, even though I have asked him a thousand times to put them in the laundry (I have given up asking now).

* When he offers to bath the baby I still have to 1) run the bath 2) get baby undressed 3) get the towel ready 4) layout nappy pj's etc and sometimes even dress her as well because it is all too hard to do the press studs up.

* Cleaning the kitchen up - the sink and benches still need to be cleaned after he is done and even though he has stacked the dishwasher something has stopped him from actually switching it on!

I think that I should stop right now otherwise I will start getting depressed about it all. I really do love him though and I know that there are things that I do that annoy the heck out of him. ;)

[sam's mum]

it is all too hard to do the press studs up.

:laughing: my dh will do the press studs when he does dress our son, but there are usually a few left over... :laughing:

[DB&O]

Thanks for the responses ladies, it was nice to see that other ppl's DH's have annoying habits too:smiliedance:
The putting of dirty clothing in the hamper is the only thing that Dh does that I would change, other than that we have a good system with the housework, I do the everyday things (dishes, vaccuming & such) & he does the bigger, yuckier jobs (rubbish removal, showers & toilets) so it works for me:D
He's pretty good about caring for Liv also, he always baths her, has done since she was in the hospital & insisted on having her bassinete on his side of the bed while I was recovering from my c/section, he would get her up & give her to me to feed & then put her back down. So all in all I'm extremely happy & I love him to bits, I just wish he would take more care of her clothing:banghead:
After reading some of the responses I don't think I should complain at all :o
Ciao,
Brooke.
