EDIT - was just asking why there seems to be so much man hating today. if your DH's dont do anything and they deserve it or....they do help but it goes un noticed or un appreciated. i think i fall into the latter sometimes.

kimberley replied: you are a keeper Jared wink.gif thumb.gif

my dh is on again, off again. some days he does dishes, vacuums and tidies and i love him to pieces for it! wub.gif

other days, he does nada.

my only beef is that he RARELY gets up with Kaleigh at night. and the past couple of months that is 2-3 times a night between 3am and 7am wacko.gif wacko.gif i work in the morning, he doesn't so i wish he'd give me ONE night a week to sleep. snooze.gif

J-rod replied: well you got me before my edit...then i cant go back and re-type.... sad.gif


i just feel bad for those mom's whose DH's do little to nothing.... im dog dead tired when i get home...but family comes first. we normally fight at night for a few minutes due to stress.....but then we get kyan and all is better.

gr33n3y3z replied: Ed has always helpped me out
Dont get me wrong he had his days where he needed Ed time and he got those as well as I needed my time also.
He took care of the kids while I cleaned up the house and what not.

Kaitlin'smom replied: in my house we both work out of the house and we both try and clean when we can, However I am the primary caregiver for Kaitlin, overall I dont mind, just wish I could have one night of no inturuptions in my sleep from either of them laugh.gif oh and someone to dust when I am not home, vaccumme would be good also, oh and moping (what little floors need it) those are the things in our house that dont get done as often as they should. hummmm maybe I should be asking for Romba and Scuba for christmas.

anyone want to invent a self dusting machine? laugh.gif

My2Beauties replied: Mine is the same as Kimberley's, on again off again. I admit he will clean but some days he sits around and does absolutely nothing and then says why is this house so daggone dirty? I do most of the stuff for Hanna as far as baths, getting dressed, doing hair, all that stuff. He swears it's because she is a girl, that is why I HOPE AND PRAY this is a boy - so I can say gee hon he's a boy and I just don't feel right giving him a bath HA wink.gif laugh.gif

kimberley replied: DH NEVER bathes the kids.. EVER! rolleyes.gif

and you didn't have to re-type if you didn't want to J tongue.gif

J-rod replied:
WOW - i love bathing Kyan....its fun cause he enjoys it soo much. i acutally sometimes get in with him (in my shorts) and steph will spray us with the hand held shower head. he laughs and then starts to relax and enjoy the water.

TANNER'S MOM replied: Mine is on and off too.

But I want to say that when I hate on my man.. I am not hatin on all men.

This is our comfortable place.. we can say anything here. My DH has a comfortable place to say things about me too.. it's the BARN.. with a few beers.

But we all need to vent. Not because we hate our men.. and not because we hate all men.. but b/c we are just women who have bad days.

No marriage is perfect especially mine, but I realize when I say certain thing it might seem like I don't like him.. but beleive me I love him.

Calimama replied: I dont really have any complaints about him.. other than his friend spilled beer on my brand new couch last night. Not really his fault though. dry.gif

boyohboyohboy replied: i am so in love with my dh, i just sometimes think we both need gentle reminders to help each other out...

gr33n3y3z replied:
Mel is so right thumb.gif

holley79 replied: For the most part DH does things for me. I give him a lot of space and a lot of free time. It has never bothered me till recently that I didn't get to get out much baby free. I also am the sole person to feed Annika. I don't "hate" Shawn I just want a little bit of a break now and again. blush.gif

mom2my2cuties replied: Mine is the latter most of the time - but he usually gets recognized for all the great things he has done for us. And I can write a book on how great that man is - even to THIS day!

moped replied: My husband gets more free time to do anything he wants than any other man on the planet.....so he needs reminders monthly about it - and that kicks him into gear for a day or two....................... happy.gif

For example, this owuld about his fifth weekend away in as many months - no problem............I don't mind him doing his thing, but sometimes he needs to help me so i can do my thing - ya know

redchief replied: My dear wife was quite generous. smile.gif

Hillbilly Housewife replied: my dh is a lot better than he was.

But even such a silly little thing as taking care of making our bed in the morning and helping the kids make theirs, saves me a trip back up the stairs to do it later...

and although dh doesn't fold the towels the same way *I* do, and doesn't sort them by type like I do (bath towels, hand towels, kitchen linens) at least he folds them and puts them away...

even if he feeds the kids kraft dinner or cereal for dinner, at least he feeds them when I'm not around... rolling_smile.gif

Lots of things that us women typically think when we think about how our men are slobs... are things that take but a second to do, and somehow us women always end up being the ones to do them. If our men realize these little htings, and take the few seconds to do it instead of seeing it and leaving it for us anyways, life would go so much smoother.

I thin kthat bothers me so much more - when my dh knows something needs to be done and doesn't do it, he leaves it for me instead... like changing the empty roll of toilet paper, or changing the empty milk bag... dry.gif

Whoops... posted before I was done... lol

Also my dh is fully aware that taking care of young children tires you out the SAME way that if you just worked two jobs. So he's pretty good about helping out with the kids when he gets home.
