Am I over-reacting?

[ginger ninger]

I dunno........it can come in useful......sometimes.......

Well...er..mmm..er..er...yup you could be right there.

I'd have killed him first, then fed him...maybe
My OH is wonderful, but waited till I'd just got back from a bad day at work, followed by 3 horses, 14 chooks, 1 german shepherd, 1 cat, 1 rabbit, a flat tyre (on a 4x4), and a torrential drowning, to say as I drooped and dripped in frozen "have you had a nice day"

Men, only one design flaw....a tongue,

Strange, my OH says she thinks the design flaw is that men can't breath thru their ears

I think all these problem boil down to communication issues so to resolve the issue I give both Male and female Grapes the following advise

How to Impress a Woman
Wine her, Dine her, Call her, Hug her,
Hold her, Surprise her, Compliment her,
Smile at her, Laugh with her,
Cry with her, Cuddle with her,
Shop with her, Give her jewelry,
Buy her flowers, Hold her hand,
Write love letters to her,
Go to the end of the earth and back for her.

How to Impress a Man
Show up naked.
Bring beer.

And is he still alive?

You have to remember that men are weak and frail creatures, unable to do such heavy work as loading dishwashers or bending to lift a toy from the floor.

Yes, strange that - even bearing in mind the amount of time they spend building up to it using heavy lifting gear such as beer and snacks.

Mr Sheds has terrible trouble putting things away ... he says he doesn't know where things go.

Funny that, because he always manages to FIND things, even if I hide them away (he polished off my Honey Shreddies last night, and left the box on the worktop - he still doesn't know whether cardboard goes in the compost, the black bin, or the green bin).

What a much Maligned chap he has my sympathy he go's out and works to keep you in the lifestyle that you obviously deserve IE the Menagere and all the other good things in life never mind if he is a forgiving chap like me he will forgive you .
He is having a peace full time at the momment while the silent violence is working....jacob

Make up with hubby and take it out on Snadger instead

Hee hee, I was going to say, put Snadger up on the hook with hubby!

[jackie j]

Yup...And have the Footy on
I've been with my OH 24 years.....And he still doesnt know how to use the washer, cooker, hover, duster, iron, or load the dishwasher,...he tells his mates that we have a " CLEANING FAIRY".....I know where i'd like to stick my wond

[OllieMartin]

Instead of blowing your top, you should have gone in a 'mild mood'. That way you can get some free attention...I thought all you girls knew this!

[enrich100]

I'm wondering if im not a bad catch after all for my OH

I don't Drink
I don't do football I think i'm the first bloke whose girlfriend has had to explain the Off Side Rule ( I still don't understand) I will stick with Rugby
I do the ironing (sadly I enjoy this)
I do more cooking than OH

I might be a real pain on days like today when im bed ridden but even on these days I'm low maintenance as I won't be eating, my youngest will be sitting on the bed so im still doing the childcare

[julesapple]

SN, you'd had a hard day, we've all been there, so (((hugs))).

What type of sentences were the first two? PH would have been mince if he'd come out with some derogatory remarks first. I quite often have a go at him, but with hindsight I can see that I had no just cause, other than he'd bugged my happiness.

I should count myself lucky, PH does the washing, hoovering, a fair bit of cooking, ferries me & kids about, hoses chook poo off the patio, and countless other things as well as working from home. He's a better wife than I am, really. Possibly, I'm bugged because he is so perfect?!

He has no idea how to change loo rolls though, and constantly forgets to pick up after himself, or to wash the tide mark out of the bath after he's used it.....all these things and more drive me to distraction, when I should really be concentrating on all of the good things he does instead. And maybe I should try to see just how annoying I can be too, but I'm sure I'm easy going and a dream to live with so that's not easy to do.

Hope normality has resumed in the Scottishnewbie house today (in a good way obviously!)

We are living in total uproar at the moment,
House 2 is still a partial building site with a pile of new internal doors taking up most of the kitchen, not to mention all the plumbing gear and pots of paint etc everywhere.
House 1 is a dumping ground. We come home from house 2 late at night, abandon everything and go to bed, get up in the morning to go to work and so on and so forth.

Whilst I appreciate that both houses are a disaster area, would it be so hard for my OH to close all the kitchen cupboards again after he's ransacked them??
