Does anyone want to join me for husband bashing?
 

DH has really taken great care of me since I broke my ankle 4 weeks ago. I have been mostly bed-bound and he is waiting on me almost hand and foot so I should be grateful for his behavior and not bitch about anything else but I NEED to vent.

Last night as he was walking down the hallway our little blind shih tzu got in his path and he yelled at her to get out of the way. I heard her scrambling so I knew he made contact. No, he would never kick her he just wouldn't even try to get out of HER way. This is Cassie folks - the sweetest dog in the world. She is so hard of hearing she might as well be deaf so she didn't see or hear him coming. A little later I heard him yelling at the cat for being up on the counter. Now we agreed that there was no way to keep her off so we would just keep the counter clear and use the Clorox wipes before we used the counter, WTH? Touhy came running into the bedroom and jumped up in my lap. I said "Boy, Daddy's in a bad mood!" Then he comes into the bed room looking at me and demanding to know what I said. He heard me, he just wanted to confront me. I just told him that I hadn't said anything and stuck to that so I wouldn't give him ammunition for a fight.

OK I feel better now. I really wish we had something like PMS to blame when they get bitchy.
How about you?

It's called SRH. Semen Retention Headache. Sorry, I had to inform you... :):D I may have crossed the line there, but it's what I blame their bad moods on. I'm really sorry your Dh is having a bad day. I hope you get better so things will get back to normal for everyone. Hugs.

I told my DH on Valentine's Day (when he proceeded to act like a total ass and I caught him lying twice) to get his *hit or it'll be on the curb when he gets home.

We've been fighting alot lately, and I know it's because of finances and what not. But I'll get in on the DH bashing. Mine needs a sympathetic bash over the head with a tire iron! :mad:

:sidesplt: :sidesplt: The only problem with that statement is that they will agree with you and use it as a weapon to get more bootie :rolleyes:

As long as it's a sympathetic bash.....who could fault a girl??? ;) :D

venting here is good for you!! your both under different circumstances with you having a broken ankle and all. and he has the right to be a lil moody and hes takin it out on those he loves which includes the furr butts. they hopefully will not remember it and he had a chance to get his grump out and you vented here....so what did the furr butts do in retaliation?? hehehe. good luck hope you are better soon!

My guess is that he is a bit stressed out over having to take care of you. I would make sure that knew how much you appreciate all of his hard work and talk to him about the way he seems to be taking it out on the pets.

MEN.... the things we do for them, and when the roles are reversed all hell breaks loose !!!

Maybe you could offer to do something "Extra Special" for him once you are back on your feet again!!

Good one!

Seems like money problems are hurting a lot of us these days.

No kidding! LOL

Most days I would jump on the chance to join in.... but oddly enough I must say this week I haven't found a reason to bash the bf (living together for 4 years, might as well be a DH). But I think he just crawled out of the dog house on V-Day, and got extra brownie points.

I'm sorry your DHs are in bad moods... I agree totally with the SRH... I have another term for it, but I'm not sure it it's allowed on here ;)

Could be worse. He could be the one bedbound with a bum ankle and you having to take care of him. Of course then you wouldn't be on here venting, we'd be taking up a collection to bail you out of jail. But don't worry, they'd never convict. Justifiable homicide. :D

I'm curious as to what it could be. :p Meant to quote deonk1

Haha, Lisa is probably right. I have no DH but I'm always in for a good male bashing!!

Ok... it took me a long time when I first joined before I actually figured out that DH was short for Husband. But I'm confused D = ? and H = ? DH is nothing like HusBand.

Please someone educate me !

Depending on the mood, DH can mean Dear Husband or Damn Husband. :p

Oh now see, heres where you made your 1st mistake: When you said daddys in a bad mood, what you should have (Yelled) was daddys being an A$$ tonight.

:yeahthat:

Ya know, this is the best place in the world to vent!!!!! I LOVE you guys!

He seems kind of moody this morning but then he was doing all my chores. LOL

I hope he remembers that it was me that took care of him through three back surgeries and his mother through seven years of bone cancer!!!! What is it with men anyway? They think nothing of the time you spend taking care of them and theirs but think they deserve gold medals for taking care of their significant others. They think all they have to do is make money and everything else falls on the woman! Oh yes most of them take care of the car and if you are lucky they will take care of yours too. And while I'm on it what's up with a father saying he is "babysitting" his own children. Bash bash bash - That's all I feel like doing this morning. LOL

Maybe you need to give him a quick rundown reminder of all you do & have done for him & his. Every now & then mine needs that reminder & once he gets it , it straightens him rite up.;)

A GOOD rant or shall we say "DH" (I get it now) Bashing is good for the soul. I hope you feel better !! :D


I know exactly when my hubby has a bad day at work. First it's "get the hell off of me" to the dogs who are waiting to greet him and the door. Than "not now" to my son who has waited all day to see his daddy. That a "whatever" and than if Im lucky I get a "grunt" after dinner and than he's off to bed for the rest of the night. He can be quite the ass!

Yup sometimes you just have to vent. It is so theurapeutic:D

I finally got him to hand the artwork today. For 10 days he told me he didn't have the anchors to hang the work. For 5 days he told me he would pick them up. This morning on way to work, I picked up some. I got home this afternoon, and show him the anchors; he said Oh I have some. :rolleyes:

It only took about 15 minutes to do. They look great on the walls.

I have a mini refrigerator still sitting out on the back patio. Been there a year. He is to take it to Goodwill. For three years he has been asked to clear out crawlspace.

Unfortunately I can beat that. We bought a new refrigerator that was supposed to have an icemaker. It was delivered without one so the store sent one to us. Of course they wouldn't install it. DH put the box in the hall closet where it stayed for FIVE YEARS before he finally installed it.

Ok minor rant today...
I love how when I say... "will you help me with X" today it was to bath Harley, he says "yes" but then when he realizes I meant, I'll start it and you finish it so that I can get back to work, he says, "oh I thought there was a part of this that requires 2 ppl, so I'm not gonna help you, you can do it yourself" grrrrr...

He knows I only ask for help bathing Harley when I'm super stressed and busy and when I don't have time to do it.

Ok I am in on this, today I'm starting to feel SLIGHTLY better, all of a sudden I sit down for the Whitney Houston funeral...go in to the bathroom, to get some tissue and noticed my red neck in the mirror....I AM COVERED IN AN OBVIOUS ALLERGIC REACTION TO which med I have no idea...now, I call him and he says take some benadryl, this is not a small rash this is body covering rash, take another med seriously thats all you got bud? I say where are you, he says "at the hospital with a sick prisoner"...Hes a Sheriff Deputy, I say "great, take care of the prisoner I'll call my dr" HASN'T EVEN CALLED TO SEE IF I'M in Anaphalactic Shock on the bathroom floor.....bite me

Now let me back up to early Jan when he was home to "take care of me" after my shoulder surgery...aside from helping lift me from the recliner he did NOTHING, dishes, laundry, cooking etc., when I said gee soon I will have to hire a maid, he acted hurt....."I'm only one person" really honey????? One person could build a pyramid in Egypt before you could wash a pot of dishes....arrrrggggghhhhh I am so tired of being sick...:D

OMG there is a word for it! Good JOB that's EXACTLY what it is. once the semen is no longer retained all the mood swings evaporate!! :eek::p:D


My dh has been great. he's a great hubbie and great daddy. but boy it's hard to have him home. i get so into a routine every day now that i'm home with a colicky baby. when he's here my whole routine is off. i wish he would be more aware that i need a break or time away from the house and baby who screams a lot. i wish he didn't invite people over during nap time and during the middle of LAD's colicky moments. i wish he'd do more than just the dishes and laundry but also clean the toilets or just keep things picked up of his stuff. i wish he'd let me take a nap, have a spa day, a girl's night out, or SOMETHING....

there i participated in the hubbie bash. phew i feel better.

also i wish he respected me more, honored me, cherished me, and loved me like Christ loves the church because that's his job and he's not doing a very good job of it. i'm stressed to the max and frustrated too and i'm sorry i don't have the time or energy left for sex, but also he's the one falling asleep before the 8pm programs on TV even start. so it's not totally my fault he's never laid. anyways. venting is great. i'll start a new thread to vent about colic too.
