Anyone want a DH?

He comes up with all these ideas of things he wants to do for her party/birthday, so I am trying to "implement" them, right?. That's fine, I can handle that. But that means it takes time away from other things, like cleaning the house. Well, that has been put on the back burner since she was born, I mean, I work, nurse, have laundry, I mow the grass, I take care of lots of other stuff, and I try to clean. UGH!

He decided to "entertain" my idea of getting someone to come in and clean every so often. So last Friday afternoon I scheduled an appointment with a cleaning service, met with them and their rates were great! He comes back to me and tells me to get two other bids and then we WILL go with the best, but cheapest one, right? Okay, so I was literally thrilled. My friend was over and I was telling him that Dh was going to have someone come in and clean so I would have more time to do other things. Dh looks at me and him and says "no, I am not, she just thinks we can afford it, which we can't, so no we are not". UGH!!!!! MAD!!!!

AND....last night I was trying to work on Kylie's photoshow. DH wants me to make one to put on disc so we can give it to the grandparents for grandparents day, which btw is on her birthday and on the day of her party. UGH! So I was working on it and Dh goes "maybe if you would stop playing around on the computer and spend a half hour cleaning the house it wouldn't look like a pig sty (sp?)!!!"" Very mad at this point!!!!

So....I usually call him on my way to work after dropping Kylie off at the sitter. It is our morning routine. I call him and we chat and I tell him how she did when I dropped her off at the sitter. Well, this morning I didn't call him, I was PO'ed at him. I get to work and there was an email from him asking me why I didn't call. SOOOO....I emailed him back and said "Sorry, I was cleaning up in the van on my way to work this morning. I think I got a good 10 minutes of cleaning in, so I should only need to spend 20 minutes tonight cleaning be4 I play on the computer". He never responded back.

I was really thinking about putting him on EBAY today to see how much I could get for him, but I don't have a GOOD picture here at work of him, so that is a problem.


Okay, I feel better now that I vented.

jdkjd replied: It's amazing how oblivious they can be to all of the crap you do for them and the family. I'd have a list of stuff for HIM to do when he got home. Sheesh.

ediep replied: ugh!! Poor you!!!

supermom replied: I am so sorry that your DH has decided to be a stinker!! Here's a for you, and hope that he's better tonight......

Kaitlin'smom replied: what a *hit head! time for you to have a day away and let him take care of it all!


as for the ebay thing good iead but dont get your hopes up he might only get $0.99! LOL J/K

MommyToAshley replied:

LOL --- You crack me up!

Here's my question for your DH... where is he when all this cleaning is supposed to be going on?

MomToMany replied: Here's to your DH!!

And some 's for you! I'm SO sorry you are going throught that!

Men can be SO awful, but If MY DH said that to me, he'd be kicked in the a** so hard & so fast, he wouldn't know where it came from! I do some small assembly jobs at home here for the company he works for. It's easy work and easy money, but there's SO many of them to do! I don't have time to do much cleaning, except on the weekends. So if DH said anything about it being messy, he'd have a nice mark on his butt from his own work boots!

coasterqueen replied:
He says he is taking care of the baby, WHILE WATCHING BASEBALL. Yeah right. She plays by herself and he watches the game is more like it.

coasterqueen replied: Here's an update on Darn husband from last night. I got home last night, DH started dinner. We ate, and then Kylie decided to go to sleep early at 6 pm. So I looked at DH while he was changing the channel to the baseball game and said, "let's get busy. This house needs cleaned!" He just looked at me like, I didn't mean what I said the other day. Now you are going overboard. We spent the rest of the night cleaning. We still have the bathrooms and our bedroom to do. Which I told him not to get too comfortable tonight because we would finish then. He was mad.

Also, we usually eat lunch every day together. He asked me this morning what time I was meeting him for lunch and I said "no dear, I am going to use my lunch hour to work on all the other paperwork and things you want me to do AND if I have time I am going to play on the computer". He was even more upset.

That'll teach him. He hates eating lunch by himself!

Kaitlin'smom replied:
hope he has learned his lesson!

jdkjd replied: Good job, Karen!!

Mommieto2Girls replied: Men can be such pain in the butts. My DH can be the same way sometimes.

Good for you teaching him a lesson.

amynicole21 replied: One thing that I hate is when DH actually does have to take care of Sophia, she is a perfect ANGEL Going to bed an hour before she usually does and not throwing any tantrums How is he supposed to see how she REALLY is and how difficult it is to deal with her sometimes when she is being so agreeable

coasterqueen replied:
Ain't that the truth!!!!! Every time Dh tries to put Kylie down to sleep, she goes to sleep within a few minutes! When I try to put her to sleep, she has to nurse, play for a while and will finally go to sleep 45 minutes later!

MommyToAshley replied:
Ashley always takes her naps during DH's shift and I get her in the hyper moods... not fair!

But, he does watch her when she is awake and playing too. She was giving him a hard time today. She kept trying to grab his laptop. She usually listens when you say "no" but she was being a little bugger today. hehe. LOL

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Zach is like that too - LOVES being good for his daddy. No fuss....nothing. DH rarely ever even gets a poopy diaper on his shifts!!!



But......I get to sleep through the night for the most part, and I get to eat dinner in peace. Ha!
