Things you dread hearing DH say

I thought it might be fun to share those precious little words that send your blood pressure up. I'll start:

I'm going to be late tonight/out of town for a few days. :unsure:
I'm going to take a nap. :nea:
Why don't we invite my parents over? :blink:
I think the baby's crying. :angry:


Any other good ones?

 

No you dont look fat you look like you just had twins-(he doesnt understand that isnt a compliment)
I know he means well...
What is for dinner?
After hours of calming crying kids and getting them to bed he says-You want to make out? Uh NO!

 

From last night...."I can't wait to crawl into bed with you tonight." To which I responded "well, have fun...I'll be asleep before my head hits the pillow"

Okay...normally I love it when he says that, but lately...I'm really dang tired and when he says something hinting at whoopi...I cringe. Hopefully this will pass and I won't be a frigid gal forever.

Okay, I seriously thought my husband was the only grown man on earth that still utilizes the term "make out". This was yesterday's dialogue:

DH: What's for dinner?
Me: I don't know, what do you want?
DH: to make out

It's pretty funny and I really am glad that he still finds me even reasonably attractive, but I just feel so drained and icky at the end of the day that I can't help but think he's just yanking my chain. The thing that really gets to me is when he says that he wishes he could be a SAHD so he could "kick back" all day!!!!! He says it in a semi-joking manner, but it makes my blood boil. :angry:

 

Info: He's a stay at home dad with our 4 month babies (mind you all he does all day is feed them and sleep, does not clean) I work a full day, come home clean whatever needs cleaning, get dinner, feed babies spend a little quality time, then put them down. weekends is the same thing, I'm just not at work.

He says to me:

"can I go out, I need a break"

A break from what?!! feeding and napping?!

give me a break

 

I have to go out of town!

I have a work dinner.

I'm playing cards with the guys on Sunday from noon until midnight!

I'm feeling sick!

XH used to say this, but he was not joking. He also told my boys (when the girls were toddlers), "I was around you guys when you were small. It's not that big a deal."

This from the man who was alone with both (ages 2 and 4.5) ONCE for 8 hours total and whined about that--he didn't even have to do any housework, just watch them while I visited a friend in another city.

I hate this one. That means he'll stay home and convalesce. He's not a big baby when he's sick, but it just gets in my way to have work around him and be quiet. Plus I don't want the kids to catch it!

 

Dh used to always ask, "Why are they crying?" I would think to myself, "Well, if I KNEW why, I would DO SOMETHING about it!!!!" Drove me NUTS!

 

"i need to rest for a little bit" ARGH.

"i have to meet (insert guy's name here) about his finances (dh is a financial advisor), but we're gonna meet at (name of bar) because i also want to talk to (insert other guy's name here), and i know that's where he'll be"

"why don't you have my mom come over to help you?" (ummm, that would make things worse, love)

"my parents are coming over to see the girls"

is it too late for my parents to stop by?" (7 pm is our cut off for visitors, and they ALWAYS ask if it's ok to still come by AFTER that, and they KNOW my rules)


(on phone with buddy) "yeah, we were talking about a bunch of us going to the city to get some drinks and catch up..." this one did not include me.

"why don't we go out and my parents will watch the girls?"

"wanna play?"

 

To many to mention!!!

Last night after I have had a week of no sleep (b/c the boys are trying to kill me ) my DH comes home from work and says "I'm so tired. I'm going to bed early tonight."

I complain about my belly and he says "do some sit up's" :angry:

I say he hasn't helped me enough....he says "I just fed a baby" as he plops himself in front of the tv
Awwwwww....don't hurt yourself!!! <_<

 

1. I'm so tired I don't know how i'm going to make it through the day (after he does 1 night feeding! and I've been up all night with a sick baby)

2. Honey take a nap you look worn and haggard (thanks?) (Ok he meant well... then 10 minutes ...) Baby the boys are crying for you... come and get them they don't want me.

3. COME ON! (to the boys after he's had them for a whole minute if they are crying!) (Hi, I've been dealing iwth it ALL DAY!)

 

At 5:00am when the boys are crying (whether or not I just fed them an hour before): "Do you want me to go in and give them a binkie?"

Once in a while, this wouldn't bother me, but they do this EVERY morning, and EVERY MORNING, he asks. YES ALREADY!! I'm not lying here trying to ignore them only to be woken up by YOU!!

DH is wonderful about and with the babies, cooking, etc...but the asking permission to take care of them really gets me going.

 

"What's wrong with him/them?" ARGH! This one is driving me nuts.

"Just take a nap when they do" After doing 2-3 night feedings (letting him sleep). My reply, "If I take a nap you don't get lunch or dinner or clean clothes!"

Mine does the "just do some sit ups" in response to the twin skin complaints too.

 

Why are you so tired? They slept through the night last night.

I'm going to take a nap.

Daddy needs a break!.....What a break? He dosen't do hardly anything because he says" He's the one working and I'm the stay at home mom"

I say to the kids joking" You two are driving me nuts!!" He says to the kids "Oh No, Mommy is going through her CRAZY spell again!"

I guess I'm with your DH here...somehow I don't find time to get the cleaning done, but I gotta tell ya, I need a break at the end of the day too. I really feel like I do a lot even if it does all fall into the "feeding and napping" category.

"You need to get organized" (regarding housework, he gets mad when i'm folding laundry at 10 pm)

"I need a massage" (oh sweet lord, i'm sure i need it even more!!!!)

"You're going to sleep? So soon?" (once i collapse into bed, instead of watching sportscenter with him)

 

Mine "demonstrates" burping to our boy....

This cracked me up because this is exactly my DH except for the finances stuff and insert "boys" for "girls."

No offense, but what is wrong with that?? I LOVE it when my DH says we should go out WITHOUT the kids and he will call my mom or his mom to watch them. Trust me, I get the told what my kids like/dislike, and all sorts of other stuff from them, but I blow it off. DH and I need our alone time too.

I really and truely cannot think of anything off the top of my head that he says regularly that irritates me. He doesn't go out unless it is to a movie which is fine by me cause most of them I have no interest in. He is a huge help with things around the house. I feel blessed to have him.

I serioulsy can not stop laughing at all the lines. Most in part because i can simply ditto almost all of them. LOL...

He normally comes in from lifting weights in his garage. The twins squeal with delight and he says one second sweeties, let daddy get a shower and something eat.
Then when i complain about getting in shape he says, why not walk on the treadmill when i am lifting weights? Oh ok... i can do that i will lock the kids in a closet maybe? Oh they will watch you, yeah right and try to climb on... GOOFY!

It's irritating for me because my MIL, and DH agrees, never follows our directions and we both end up upset when she and FIL watch the boys. If DH says, let's have our closest friends watch the boys...I have no problem...it's not about us being alone, it's about my MIL's inability to do as DH and I ask. But DH still mentions it and then later changes his mind...make sense.

HA! I'm with this one some how he can make time to run for 30 min. But when I need a break I can't find him. With my short break at nap time the last thing I feel like doing is running. I think Im going to join a gym just for the child care WHILE they are awake!

 

I'm so glad I'm not alone. haha.

I can't stand when dh says "I'm so tired, I'm going to go in the room and try to relax" - which means to not bring any crying babies in the room because he doesn't want to hear it.

Here is another "I have to get up early" - okay I guess he thinks I don't get up early too (I'm a full time working mom that is usually woke up at 4am for a feeding and back up at 5am to get ready for work - this isn't counting all the nite feedings I do on my own too)

I also have the sick one that he trys to pull "I'm sick...I can't handle the boys" - okay so what happens when I'm sick...he is going to handle them...yea right.

Man...I could go on and on.

Here is one more "I can't handle the crying - I'm having an anxiety attack" - whatever...haha. Then he runs to the room to relax.

 

ME: "_______________________" (fill in the blank with any word phrase)
HIM (with stupid look on face): "Is that code for something else?"

Ok, so it honestly usually makes me laugh.

 

right now my DD is sick all i hear is :THE DARN EASTER BUNNY GOT THEM SICK: I KNEW THAT BUNNY WAS FULL OF GERMS. NO MORE BUNNIES FOR THEM.

i really love it when he comes home and says honey i need to relax for a bit. which lately he relaxes in a bit less time.

im a sahm he works just love the line "i worked all day" ummm yeah i just sat on my bum eating bon bons all day!!!!!!

 

I think the best one for me was when the boys were just home from the hospital and were both crying/hungry and I looked at DH and said, ok, let's feed them. And he looked at me so surprised and said "but I just poured a bowl of cereal...it'll get soggy if I don't eat it now". He's lucky he didn't end up wearing it!!

He also always asks me "what do we do with them now?"...which translates into I don't know their routine...and their almost a year old!! That drives me crazy!!

because my inlaws (as well as my parents, but my p's know better) are from europe, and are old school. my FIL tried to give them sour cream when tey were 3 months old, and my MIL does not understand the concept of "SAME SCHEDULE" and "FEED THEM AT TEH SAME TIME", and other things.


ETA: i can't trust them alone

The reason I hate this comment is because he knows that I don't really trust ANYONE to watch my babies while they're awake. And the times he suggests it while they're sleeping, he asks me to ask my mom to watch them in 30 minutes! I just think it's rude to assume everyone else is just sitting around waiting to be asked to babysit. He has just now figured out that if we're out and my babies are awake with someone else, I am uneasy the entire time so it's not worth it...and that the person we ask needs at least a day's notice.

Yeah, this is pretty much our life too. MIL and FIL are pretty pushy and I know that once we're out the door they just do as they please. It stresses me out and I'd rather just stay home with the babies myself. That's just our situation though. If his parents weren't so aggressive then this would go under the "Things you love hearing DH say" post!

And I should also add that DH is a wonderful, caring and supportive dad and partner - I don't mean to put him down. I wouldn't trade him for the world, irritating habits and all!

Thanks for the laughs!

 

He used to ask me why I would hand off the babies to him right when he walked in the door. Maybe b/c I have not eaten/peed/showered all day.

"You are a SAHM you are in charge of the kids and house and finances." Yeah right mister....you are a parent too and if you dont like the way I do it, then do it yourself.

 

You know that song Mr. Mom by Lonestart...i say just print out the lyrics and hang them on the fridge!

It was the 'I'm so tired' comments that killed me - even when he'd throw in a what felt like gratuitious "i know you must be even more tired, honey"....uh, YEAH, i haven't slept in a YEAR, i had TWO babies and i've been taking care of them day and night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
