As texted to Dan, who DOES know these things and should not have to have them EXPLAINED to him.
- Get off your ass and SEARCH for pacifiers, rather than take them from diaper bags. Otherwise we’re out and there’s no nummy to be found.
- Washing dishes would not kill you.
- Neither would emptying trash when you see that the can is full.
- If it’s Ryan’s nap time and he isn’t sleeping, CHECK ON HIM. He just may have pooped.
- Do NOT put Ryan down for a nap in the hugging suit. As I have told you before, he SWEATS very badly in it.
- Either shut the bathroom door or clean up the litter than Ryan flings around.
- Watch what Ryan is doing in Alyssa’s room. I found the air conditioner hanging halfway out the window.
I got home a few minutes before 3pm. I just sat down at the computer ten minutes ago. You’d never guess what I’ve spent the last hour doing… :rolleyes:

SERIOUSLY. My husband does crap like this all the time. He acts like all these types of things are automatically MY responsibility and anything he does is a favor to me. Sexist much?

@Manda: I spent the last hour being annoyed at my husband while cleaning up all of the messes.

LOL Sounds like my ex, but your man is a lot better in many of other ways. That is why i NEVER let him watch the kids often while I went to the store. I’d come back and the house was a big mess and he didn’t do a darn thing to clean it.

Hey, that’s not my normal result though. I was really feeling like shit today. Kinda hazy-slept through most of it.

Hah! I was seriously considering leaving a list similar to this in my kitchen. I’m the only female in my household. Care to guess who gets stuck cleaning up after everyone? One thing that irks me more than anything… when I go to the fridge for a nice, ice cold water only to find that there is none. It’s funny… I remember filling the fridge with bottled water. Yet I never get a cold one. NEVER!

I truly think that men are the most stubborn people on the face of the earth. Tom’s reasoning whenever I bug him about stuff is, “I forgot” or “I was going to but I thought you would get mad!” – none of which are true!

I can’t imagine being so disrespectful of my husband. Of course I try not to treat him like a child, for some reason I think he’d not like that too much. Maybe, rather than getting so angry and making household drama, you could make these requests calmly, using terms like ‘please’ and ‘thank you’. :hmm: Always works for me…

My husband’s the same way. Exactly the same, actually. It’s almost like he lacks common sense sometimes. My all-time favorite is his “I forgot” excuse… It’s like, how the hell could you forget to clean the house?!?!?! You see the mess, how could you “forget” to do something about it?

My husband’s thing is he’ll get to it in a minute. Yeah, a minute from next month.
You reminded me of the time when he could not find is PSP, so instead of looking for it, he went out and got a new one. He made me so mad. Not because he bought a new one, but because he played it off like he had found it. Well guess who cleaned the house and found the one he lost.
Oh yeah, and number 4. Crystal is the one who doesnt like her naps (or bedtime). Usually instead of sleeping she’ll climb on her dresser and start screaming when she cant get back down. He always tells me “Oh she’s fine” And then doesnt understand why I get irritated everytime I get up to check on her.

Since I am a male myself, I think I will probably had done he same mistakes as Dan. As they say (at times) don’t trust us males lol.
I’m sure he will pick up the swing and see’s how you do things and he may just pick it up from there!
But poor you for doing so much lately, I’ve read your tweets and I just feel so sorry for you. You have your hands full!
Hopefully one of these days you have some time for yourself and splurge hehe! x

I tend to agree with Amy on this one. I dont like being treated and spoken to like I am a child. It just creates defiance and its a surefire way to get me to absolutely NOT do what im told like a child to do. Then I would laugh while watching you do them again.
Now, if im asked nicely…im more than happy. Soda is also pretty good about doing things I ask him, it may take him a few minutes..but he does do them. I will admit that it wasnt always like that though. I used to get sooo pissed off that he wouldnt do what I asked IMMEDIATELY and now I just stay off his ass and he gets them done at his own pace..but they get done.
As the domain name suggests, my name is Jenn, and I own this blog. I'm 26 years old and married to my one true ♥, Daniel. And while I have two kids (Alyssa is five, and Ryan is three), you won't find "mommy" in my username or email address, nor does my blog revolve around them. I'm a mother, but most importantly I am me, with a passion for love, blogging, reading, and photography. I'm also a busy freelance writer, web designer & SEO goddess, and a blogger relations person for an adult toy company.
You spent the last hour being annoyed at your husband for not doing the obvious?! ^_^
