The biggest thing that DRIVES ME MENTAL about my husband is that when i tell him what time we need to leave by, he waits until that time to start getting ready to leave.

For example, yesterday i told him we had to leave at 11 (we had to be somewhere at 11.30), and he needed to be at the door and ready to go at that time. Kids are at my parents, so he literally just has himself to sort out. I put my coat on at 10.56, and its another FIVE minutes before dh starts to get ready. He goes to the toilet, finds his keys, sorts out what he needs in his pockets, gets a new pack of tissues, has a drink and then he is ready to leave. at 11.13. AARRRGGGHHHH!!!! its every time!!!

When I ask him to help me clean. "Can you do the floors this time?" "Sure, I'll do it later." 2 hours later...not done. Next day...not done. A week from then...still not done. Seriously, every freaking time. It drives me insane. So I always end up doing all the cleaning, and then he *****es at me for something stupid like not refilling the milk after I've emptied a bag. I'm like REALLY?!? He doesn't even rinse his frigging dishes, so I have to let them soak for awhile before I even do them. He says he is a neat person...yeah, he just thinks he is because I do everything for him. Never have I met a man so frigging useless.

He waits til the last minute to do EVERYTHING!! it drives me nuts! we're always late because he won't wake up, yet he can get up with no problems at 5 am when he's at work but trying to get him up before noon at home, forget it.

[3OhioBoys]

He always had to pee before we leave and spends 5 minutes doing that when I already have the kids loaded.

And he can never be happy with the way I cook his steak... meanwhile... I am eating a perfectly cooked medium well yummy piece of meat.

I have a list. My DH is careless. For example, he is trying to get a new, better job. He sent in an application that totally looked like an illiterate douche bag filled it out. The wrong things were capitalized, no proof reading, some things that should have been capitalized, LIKE FLORIDA was not. The whole app was not filled out. I was ready to fight with him. I wanted to punch him. If he knows he sucks, WHY NOT LET ME PROOFREAD? I asked him why he sent it in like that is he really wants the job. They are going to throw it out. Then he says, I just wanted to be done with it!!!!!

[*Kiliki*]

my dh tends to say "i'll do it later" or "yeah in a min" and then it takes FOREVER!! or when hes home a lot he is IN BED!!! its like UGH!!! i was very happy i actually got him out of bed and he came down to dinner tonight without and nonsense LOL

oh shucks..only ONE thing?! JK hehehe Morgan really isnt THAT bad anymore but omg he used to drive me just about insane. anyways one think that really ticks me off is he leaves his crap everywhere. Where he takes it off or removes it is where it stays until i come along and pick it up. His shoes can be anywhere from the hallway to the middle of the living room floor, his work clothes from the front door making a trail to the bedroom. ugh just stupid little thing but really irritates me to no end...i just want to grab him by the face and tell him take your clothes off all at once once you get into the bedroom and THEN put them in the hamper also the shoes can go in the shoe basket in our front closet right by the front door so how they end up in the bathroom sometimes well lord only knows.

And they don't understand that they are the kids role model too! If you put your crap on the ground, where do you think the kids will put it??????

His inability to see that other viewpoints are just as valid.

OMG YES!!!! We actually got into a little argument a couple weeks ago because Raleigh left her toys out in the living room on the floor and he tripped over one. He got all pissy because he doesnt like it. All i could say was oh now you know how i feel when i trip over your shoes in the middle of the night on my way to get the baby. I know not my best moment and i shouldnt have said it but seriously HOW DOES HE LIKE IT!! At least Raleigh was told to come pick her couple of toys up and she did...unlike him leaving stuff around and it would stay there for years if i didnt pick it up.

[acupofjoe]

ok i just thought of something else and i have to share because it just happened....anytime he wants me to see something he is doing he will pester me to death until i stop whatever i am doing and get up and go see whatever the heck it is he did...it is almost always something so dumb to like a video game achievement or some movie preview that i couldnt care less to see haha.

[ComfortablyMum]

Ohhh where do I start

No honestly, ONE thing... hmmm...

I'm with you all on the getting things done! He would take daaaays to do one simple thing like the dishes, or laundry, ANYTHING.

Also with you all on the leaving stuff on the floor. Uhhhhh who the heck else is gonna pick up your stuff? The cleaning fairies!? Ya dreamin!

Okay, now for my one thing LOL...

When I am annoyed, he KNOWS how to press my buttons and he will NOT leave me alone until "things are sorted"... LEAVE ME ALONE so I can gather my thoughts and take a breather and THEN things will get sorted. Ughhhhhh men!!

[*Kiliki*]

ohh im the same way Maria...I NEED to be left alone sometimes when im upset or something and he is FINALLY realizing that LOL

[lapoema]

He puts dirty dishes in the wrong side of the sink...

[youngwoman]

We have one of those big slop sinks in the laundry room. I use it to fill up/dump the mop bucket, for the watering can, clean the dogs' food mat, etc. And my DH is ALWAYS leaving stuff in that sink - various tools, bags from Home Depot or Lowes, caulk, etc. It drives me bonkers. That's why you have a toolbox, a garage, and storage space in the basement. That sink is not a dumping ground!

[LindsayMom09]

Haha these are cracking up because some I can totally relate to!

One thing my DF does that drives me CRAZY is anytime I say I have a sore head/back/whatever it is, he will have had that sore ALL day and much worse than me of course. It's always like he's trying to out-sore me or something lol!

[lnj5duke]

LOL!!! Oh, so true on lots of these... although I'm usually the one who makes us late (35 weeks pregnant means I ALWAYS have to pee at the last minute, haha!).

Sometimes on the weekends I will ask him to watch DD1 while I run an errand, and he will ask, "Can you wait until she goes down for her nap?" *sigh* I always wait, but I want to say, "NO, because that is when I get to chill out at home, silly!"

[-Bailey-]

Just one???
He does have a lot of little things that bug me, but nothing too big.

Everything is his, its his bed, his tv, his couch, his table...you get the point. If you wanna get technical, it's all MINE! I paid for pretty much everything in this apartment when I still worked. I got out of the habit of saying its all 'mine', he needs to also. When I counter and call it mine he says 'I pay for the apartment, and it's in MY apartment so it's mine'

I feel y'all on the leaving stuff on the floor. DF does this too and it drives me nuts. He always says he will get it later [i tested this and left it alone for three days, it remained untouched]. Or it's not dirty and he will wear it again, but won't put it back in the closet or at least nicely fold it and stick it in the corner like I have asked him too. So, it gets washed whether he likes it or not.
