Too funny! I have the same conversation with my hubby about being a SAHM! I don't think he will ever understand! Anyways, my hubby does drive me crazy sometimes:) Like when he says,"Where are all of my socks? I used my last pair yesterday."! Ugh! I hate that! I then say " I am not your maid! If you noticed you had no socks left you should have put them in the laundry!" He then retorts "But you are home all day." Needless to say this leads to a long chat about what I do all day! HAHAHA!!!

Girl, don't get me started! My husband does the same thing. Tries to talk me out of my feelings and makes me feel like going to school full time and working a 30 hr a week job is something that all women do. He can't figure out why I am exhausted at night and running around like a chicken with my head cut off during the day. I appreciate the fact that he works hard and travels for his job but he needs to face the fact that he doesn't have to take care of anything else except for work. I do everything else and still he can't understand why I am frazzled. They just don't get it do they??

Hum...I go throught the exact same thing with his clothes being inside out. UGH! Also the trash..his only job inside the home is to take the trash out..at first he was good at it..now he'll let it pile up and if I ask him to take it out he'll say we can still push it down and put more in it! LOL. Yesterday my SIL and her husband came over after church for lunch. I laid our Little Man in his crib to watch his mobile..well Hubby was done eating, I was fixing my plate and Little Man started whining...I asked hubby to go get him and he said "I'm looking at this" (a magazine) I told him don't worry, I'll just go do that too. So of course he wanted a bottle so I fixed it and went to hand it to him..he looked at me and said "you want me to feed him" I said yes. He said, "I still need to change my clothes" I told him don't worry I'll feed him and just eat mine later so he could go change his clothes...anyway..he ended up feeding him..part of it..of course when I was done eating I had to finish it! UGH..MEN

ok, if Jeremy said that to me... I would of kicked him and then punched him... and then make him still deal with Lorelei... I don't put up with crap like that...

And Jeremy understands that I get loney but we really can't figure how to fix it... so he listens to me whine about it...

But I don't turn Jeremy clothes inside out... I wash them as is... I also don't check his pockets... he is a big boy and if he can't do it tooooo bad because I'm not going to do it... so if paper gets washed... I make him get it out (plus I can't reach the very bottom of the washer anyways)...

Time to pull out the I don't care stick and beat him with it! lol... good luck hun!

Too funny. My poor husband doesn't know what to do when I complain - if he tries to "fix" me, I get even more upset. If he just lets me vent, I get mad that he's not listening.

Previously my husband's one chore was garbage duty, but he never ever remembered. I solved that one by putting a weekly recurring message on his cell phone to remind him. So far that's been working great.

It is a guy thing! Bryan does the same kind of things....I just think that's how they are "programmed" =)

I feel your pain~this situation is more common than I thought! I love Bobby more than anything but he just DOESN'T get it what I do all the time. And I hate to ever complain because he works 2 jobs but who's here @ home doing everything around here?!? Bobby is *convinced* that I just have all this "free time" on my hands & just sit around all day eating ice cream, reading magazines, & watching soaps! NEWSFLASH, I'm as busy as you are hon (Bobby!). We got into an argument about this subject recently (in fact, it's become a weekly thing now!) & I usually just stand/sit & just listen to his rants but I had had *enough* & I finally broke down & told him~Some days some things AREN'T going to get done~DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!

He'll go for a while & be understanding & be nice & then it's like he's Frankenstein/has a split personality & goes bonkers! Sometimes I feel sooo unappreciated. I'm not trying to make light of the fact that he works 2 jobs & is tired~I GET THAT! But @ the same time, I'm tired also but he doesn't see that sometimes.

And, when he wants to do something around the house, he goes & gets it done~alone~no kids in tow & gets in done & goes on. I've tried to explain to him, when I do things, I have 2 kids to take care of while I'm accomplishing things. I love my children MORE than anything, anyone that knows me, thru real life & blogging, knows that. I'm just saying, when he has something to do, he goes & gets it done, no questions asked & is done. It just takes me a little longer to do some things!

I think we all need to have Shannon give our husbands a lesson, LOL :) That's the highest of compliments, Shannon :)

Sorry, this comment turned into a novel~as you can tell though, this subject gets me fired up, LOL!!!!

Good luck w/dealing w/James & hopefully he'll get it :)

At first I didn't know what to say, and then I read your other blog. My husband also leaves his socks in balls and leaves his pant legs turned inside out, and it bugs me to no end. I really do have it made as far as him helping me out, getting her to sleep, rocking her, etc.. I guess all husbands have little quirks that their wives can't stand.

My favorite thing is finding dishes in the sink *and* a completely empty dishwasher (that, for the record, I was usually the one to unload). That rocks. ;) Honestly, the big things he does great, so I really try to not sweat the small stuff, but I know what you mean... thare are those little things that can set you off ... particularly when nerves are already frayed.

I hear you! That's men for you, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. My husband told me (when our entire house was sick except me) that I couldn't get sick. The family could not function if I was out of commission. He KNOWS I rock, and yet....
Know one knows what it is like to be home fulltime until they do it themselves. That is why we women must band together! The men just do not understand. As much as it was our joint decision for me to stay at home I think he secretly thinks it's like a vacation some days. Sheesh! If he only knew!
