Seriously H...seriously?

[tjanca22]

Because sometimes our H's are clueless; what did your H do now that you need to vent about? Let us help you plot your revenge!

[shedreamsincolor]

danib - ughhhhh. That's annoying. Especially the making it public before talking with you part.

This was more of an *eye roll* - seriously H? Three weeks before DS2 was born my H came home and told me he had signed DS1 up for gymnastics class on Saturday mornings. Ummmm ok? Please let's add another thing to our plates right now. Best part- he coaches at tournaments basically every Saturday. When I brought up the timing piece it was like it hadn't crossed his mind that maybe I wouldn't want to haul two kids to a gym when I'm just a few weeks PP. Needless to say H's parents got to take DS1 to a lot of gymnastics LOL.

[tjanca22]

H knows I hate when he replies with "k", so I've started to do it to him and then he knows I'm pissed.

[tjanca22]

Last week H was talking about how he wanted to go see the new Star Wars movie. I told him he could go, but it had to be after both kids were asleep and he needed to get up the next day with DS. His reply was, "fine, I'll wait till the kids are asleep, I'm kinda stuck here until then anyways, right?"

Uh, stuck? Seeing your family and helping your wife with bedtime is summed up as stuck? Dude, you work 24 of the 31 days in January and are gone 24 hours at a time. Asking you to be present and here with us when you are off work is called stuck?

[tjanca22]

I'm thinking of the best way to destroy his phone too.

[kleigh]

starbuck27 I just "No"d out loud. Really dude. Lol

Yes! Pokémon Go is the bane of my existence.
Me: Why are we driving through Old Settlers?
H: I ran out of poke balls. Can you spin for me? *hand me the phone*

Me: What time were you running?
H: 8.
Me: So why are you just getting home at 11?
H: We might have gotten sidetracked playing Pokémon.

This weekend every time we took a walk he and his mom were talking about it, too.
Mil: Hey do you see that *insert whatever name of thing here*?
H: Yeah, I just caught it.
Me: Isn't that a pretty sunset?
H: I need to go to the water tower to get more balls.
Me: ...

[ClassyMrsA]

Oh, also, yesterday was such a horrid day for both of us. But we took the dog for a walk after going to the store. It was 6 and Lilah was starving. I asked DH to make dinner so I could nurse her. It was just spaghetti with steamed veggies. He said he coukd do that. We get home and he goes and changes into his sweats. Um..ok. Then he does laundry. Then he takes the finished laundry and puts it away. By this time is already almost 6:45. So I turn on the oven to make pizza. He comes out of our bedroom, sits on the couch, and is like "I'm so tired." Not even a word about oops I didn't make dinner while you were nursing the baby like I said I would. Wtf?

God, yes. He's on that thing constantly. I want to take a hammer to it.

[aggiebug]

Add me to the phone issue. I admit I am on it way more that I should be myself but when I am on the phone I, at least, am aware of what's going on. With him the kid ends up upstairs in the bathroom with me while I take a shower without him noticing.

[jubilantsquirrel]

MH does so much of what all of your H's do. The phone thing kills me. I almost always have to repeat myself because he was too busy reading some sports article or playing ducking mario. He also never wakes up MOTN and thinks that the baby had a great night, spoiler alert: the baby has never had a great night. I'll ask him to do something to help me out and he does a million other things instead.

[jubilantsquirrel]

The other morning MH asked me how the baby did that night and I told him not great. He was up every hour and it was taking over an hour each time to get him back down. His response was "yeah, babies do that." Uh ok.

The other night when DS1 kept getting sick MH handle all that for the most part. The next morning he asked how the baby did and I again said not great, I didn't get much sleep either. His response was "I'm pretty sure I got less sleep than you last night." Oh. I didn't realize this was a competition.

I don't have a DH obsessed with his phone and video games but he is obsessed with football and sports in general. One Sunday he was watching football and I made a comment about needing help with B while I tended to J and he had the balls to say.."it's Sunday it's my day off". I didn't talk to him for a few hours after that. He finally said that he was "just joking". But it was after his game was over. Coincidence? I think not.

MH is obsessed with his phone, games and sports. Football, basketball and baseball. I never get a break from ESPN.

[jubilantsquirrel]

Oh, also he's incapable of cleaning up after himself. He cooked pretty much all of the meals when he was home for the first couple of weeks after ds2 was born. He would leave such a disaster in the kitchen every time. Not just dirty dishes but he doesn't put anything back where he gets it from either. I'm also convinced he doesn't know how to pick up dishes off the table and put them in the sink. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know we own a dishwasher.

I once asked him to sweep the floors for me, which he did, but he just left the pile of dirt in the middle of the room. Like, ok. Do you think it's just going to disappear on its own?

How is this craze still going on? I get that it was cool when it first came out, but can it be over now? Pokémon can go to hell.

[cookswithwine9]

Christmas Eve we went to the ILs. My MIL was driving us home so we were both drinking. I had 3 glasses of wine over the course of the night. So buzzed but perfectly capable. My H proceeds to get shit faced. Then refuses to leave until mid night. When we get home at 1am he's too drunk to even hold the baby to help me out. So I'm trying to feed O a bottle and pump at the same time. I ended up screwing up the pump bc i put it together wrong so milk got in the tubes. I had to shut it off. Then I hear H throwing up. I didn't get to bed until after 2. And of course O was up at 5. While H slept and snored the entire time. He threw up Christmas morning too.

[kleigh]

Daggers for your H cookswithwine9 . Daggers I say.

[jubilantsquirrel]

Oh hello no cookswithwine9.

[kleigh]

My biggest issues relate to two things:

1) his inability to multi task (or lack of desire, lets just make moms job harder)

2) his inability to properly soothe the babies - which maybe not his fault, but dude, seriously


Maybe this is gross but he expects to be able to shit, shower, and shave in peace and quiet every time. No. I don't get to, so neither do you. I always take one with me if need be. If I'm feeding a baby and the other one is wailing, either you hold your shit in until he/she is settled or you take him with you - what an opportune time to run off. Also, you can hold a baby and still do stuff - this is the only way that many women are able to get anything done. Like you have two hands - you can multi task pal.

Soothing. My god I swear the babies scream every time he tries to feed them. Like WHHHHAT are you doing? It's the worst in MOTN - so I'll continually suggest he give him/her to me and he refuses. Ok well if he/she wakes the other I'm gonna be freakin pissed. Also, no, you telling me to "go to sleep" doesn't work - what mom can ignore the sounds of her baby's high pitched, constant, piercing, continuous cry at 4am ?

Same. He's always like, "I have to watch this game." Why? Thank god football season is almost over. He doesn't really watch NFL, so I'm almost there. But then it's going to be soccer again. With both girls, he said they better not be born during a Nebraska game. Like, even if you're, joking why would you say that to me?

My H can't multi task to save his life. I made a crockpot meal a few weeks ago and just needed to make some pasta to go with it. L was nursing and DS was running around playing. H looks at me and asks when dinner will be ready so I ask him to make the pasta. Few minutes later, DS pooped in his diaper and asked H to sit on the potty. DH walks into the living room to tell me DS needs to sit on the potty. I ask if he can do it and he says, I'm kinda busy making pasta here.

Right? I did finally snap and yelled at DH this past weekend. I asked him if he could maybe just once enjoy a walk with his family without playing that stupid game. He and his family joke about my hatred for it. Like that's going to help. Not funny. So much rage.

I wonder what our husbands would have to say about us?

H and I were talking one night and discussed biggest pet peeves we had about each other. His answer was that I don't flush the toilet every time I use it. Ok, well I'm nursing and drink like a gallon of water a day, I pee all the time. Do not feel like wasting water just to flush the toilet after 50 little pees a day.

I think you guys would hate me IRL. I love football. Seriously dress the kid/s up every Saturday. And I said that exact thing about C. Like I really didn't wanna miss the Nebraska/Iowa game. Lol

Lol. I just don't get the appeal. I'm nice about it, though, because I want him to let me watch my shows that he doesn't like, too. Like, sports annoy me in the way that I don't enjoy it and it's literally ALL day on Saturdays. If it was just the one game I wouldn't mind. As much as I complain about it, both girls have their Nebraska outfits and I have a t-shirt and sweatshirt for myself. I'm cool with supporting the one team.

H said the same thing about DS2 being born during a Seahawks game. He actually was born on a game day, but not during it.

I love football too. Actually, that brings me to another complaint. Whenever there's Seahawks game on its just assumed that I take on all parenting duties. I do any meals, nap times, diaper changes, all of it. At least let's tag team the kids during a game.

[cheshie6]

I haven't had DH home long enough to get frustrated yet!

@badwolf321, +1 I'm all for the NFL though! I'm trying to figure out if we could take L to a Patriots playoff game if we get the baby banz hearing protection! Lol that would be me! Gillette has a nursing pods in the first aid station!
