Husband RANT!

[KSA]

I am feeling really good and I am not sure if because I feel so wonderful he thinks he just does not have to do anything or what it is but he is not helping!
The house was a mess for weeks and other than my mom helping one day he has not done a thing. Shocker right? LOL! Well today I said something to him I said you know a little help would be great. Response "You seem fine" I wanted to scream at him but it was way too early. I kept my mouth shut but I fear very soon I am going to blow up on him. I was so pissed on saturday about my home being trashed that I ANGRY cleaned the entire day. He was camping with Jacob so he was not here to see it. Last night when I was making dinner I was very quiet he said what the heck is wrong with you. REALLY? Does he not see that I am doing everything!
I do not ever ask for help it is not that I do not want it but I feel guilty about asking for it like I should do it all because I am the wife and mom. I am going back to work soon so we do not have to pay out of pocket for our benefits and I am thinking if I have to do all this and work WOW I will not be very nice! When I was working and sick I just did not care because well I couldnt get up some days but now I care. I can not live in a dirty house!
I am gonna tell you what he did when he came home and then I will let all of you RANT! I had the kitchen spotless! I have a thing about my counters being clean enough to eat off of. He comes home and puts his DIRTY boots on the counter. WTF I flipped my sister was over and she looked at him with pure evil. She was like Seth! My sister just cleaned why would you do that? His response "What they are not that dirty" QUESTION: Would anyone put clean or dirty shoes on a counter? I always thought shoes stayed on the floor?
That is what I am dealing with girls!

so sorry Keri. You shouldnt be doing ANYTHING!!! My husband is being the exact same way and i have flipped out on him. He thinks because im walking, that i can do stuff. My mom is here now and he thinks he's in heaven. Just because i can walk and my mom is here doesnt mean that you have to be so freakin lazy!!!

[Karen]

Sorry, kiddo, some guys just don't get it...

Guys are jackasses. If they didn't have us, most of them would live in total squalor, so as not to distract them from things like Playstation and X-box. Well, here's an EX-box, for you, bub!

I had a boyfriend, once, whom I lived with, who got 3-4 days off at a time, and I worked AND went to school full time. Tell me why he had to trash the place, like he was 20 sloppy frat boys, all in one body. It's because he was raised by slobs. He said, "Man, when I move out, my house will NEVER be this trashed." Yeah. You sure lived up to that one, jackass.

Once, I decided to let it get filthy enough in the apartment that it would certainly drive him crazy. It turns out, I was just torturing myself. I finally broke down and cleaned, when I could smell the nasty kitchen, as I opened the bedroom door... UPSTAIRS.

"OOOOH, honey - could you get... everything? I'm too busy, and have my hands full (d*ck in one, joystick in the other)."

LOL sunshine...i think you just described my husband!!!

Funny cause I have the exact opposite problem. I live with an OCD neat freak and he drives me to insanity with how obsessive he is over cleaning. Now granted, I would never put my dirty shoes on the counter.. OMG that's gross.

Hey Jenaya...can your hubby come and teach mine? lol. Seriously tho, im looking at about 20 pop cans on his side of the bed right now.

AHHH, I wouldn't stand a day with the men you girls are discribing here! My bf goes more in the direction of Jenaya's - but only when it comes to clothes. The dishes he can leave on the table for days... I've tried to find some sort of resoning or pattern but can't find it. Male logic I suppose.
We both work part-time: 4 days a week (very Dutch) and also the cleaning we do 50/50. This means that we hired someone to clean the house once a week and I do the rest (laundry, groceries, cooking, getting the kitchen back in shape after cleaning, dishes, taking care of the cat, all our administration). But I have to say: he irons his own shirts, he does the garden, he cooks on Mondays, he vacuums when the hairs of the cat are bothering him too much, he makes sure the technical equipment in the house works, he paints and makes the house look nice, he makes me laugh, he is very handsome and has a great body. He's fogiven :-)

[Susanne]

Wow, I'm tired:
getting the kitchen back in shape after cooking of course
and foRgiven...
