worst of all, he gives me no allowance to use in taking care of myself, yet he calls his mum to complain about everything,

Amanda speak no more, i get what u are saying....cos i have one like that at home. I thought women are the once supposed to do the nagging, but mine nags, backbite, complains about everything his eyes sees, and yet he does nothing in the house, from computer to work....he reminds me all the time that i am a house wife so therefore i am entitled to doing everything....guess u dont want to hear more...

Kimberly - posted on 07/19/2011

Overall I am lucky... but he has a MAJOR habit of asking me to do something just as I am walking out the door... or picking something up while I am out. We both work out of the house... but I am the one on the road during the week.
I am planning on getting even but asking him to do something that takes 5 - 10 mins... just before he needs to leave for Golf League... maybe after a couple of weeks he might get the POINT. LOL

Ugh! I need to see if there is enough space here for this. LOL Out of all the things he does right, he does his fair share of things that irritate the living crap out of me. Let me begin with his grammar! It is ATROCIOUS! He says "ain't" constantly. I mean really...does he even care that he sounds uneducated? He has trouble pronouncing any big words. He MASSACRED our wedding vows! Instead of saying "donuts", he says DONITS. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Some of the other things that drive me nuts, he eats on the sofa which I don't like. He sets soda cans on the floor next to the sofa then forgets they are there, trips on them and slips on the drink on the wood floor (this happens EVERY DAY). He picks his teeth! Last but not least, he feels it is okay to wear the same socks two days in a row. My Mom tells me that he is a wonderful person and if these are the ONLY things he does that bother me I should be happy that I have a wonderful, loving and caring husband. However, sometimes he really drives me nuts!

Hi! Im new here but Its funny you ask this question because right before I started this site, I was furious at my hubby's bad habits. The most annoying thing my hubby do is that he chews and smacks his lips when he eats!!! IT drives me totally insane!! It is like he had no home training even though I KNOW his mother taught him manners. We all just look at him at dinner and shake our heads. TOTALLY annoying.

Rebecca - posted on 06/17/2011

Despite being anally neat, my fiance habitually forgets to flush the toilet after his morning or nightly shit. Sometimes, it will sit there for quite some time and I'll open it hours later to find something that was extremely unpleasant now "cooked" under the lid.

That's a big one.

That and getting sleepy whenever something serious needs talking about.

Chews loud, makes messes everywhere, leaves his dirty socks on the floor, gets little hairs all over the bathroom sink when he shaves and doesn't clean it, uses so many dishes and never puts them in the sink, never takes the trash out without me having to remind him, and always forgets when I tell him things!! Ohh I could go on and on haha. He drives me crazy but I love him to death :)

I hope not (to the unhappy fathers on Father's Day). I know that even tho my husband's messiness drives me nuts, he is an awesome dad. Even tho he works so much, he is never too tired for our kids - or for me, just too tired to clean up after himself! He is fun and funny, and our kids really like him and love him. We are very blessed.

Shannintipton - posted on 06/16/2011

It sounds like there are going to be a lot of unhappy fathers out there for father's day. LOL

Christy - posted on 06/16/2011

Angela, I totally understand. I know that it seems like they do it intentionally! How could it not be? I don't really know how mad you are, but I have been so mad that I scared myself. I mean, how could I possibly be this upset over a mess? But I really thought about it and what I came up with is that I felt like he was disrespectful and thoughtless, like he didn't appreciate my hard work. Everyone who gets paid knows that they are appreciated. But, it felt like to me, that my family took me for granted - they thought that there was a little fairy that came through the house and cleaned it, stocked the groceries, and did their laundry. And if I was too tired and let things go, it was like I was a bad wife and mother. Once I realized why I was so upset (and believe me, I was upset) I talked to my husband and it's amazing, but he had no idea. I knew he loved me, so why was he tormenting me? It turns out that it was not intentional and talking about it has really helped us to understand each other. My husband works a lot of hours, too, and he's just exhausted. He doesn't even think about the mess he makes, he doesn't even notice that I've cleaned anything. But we have come to an agreement. He will try to be more appreciative of what I do to keep our home nice and I will be more understanding and appreciative of how hard he works and how tired he is. I don't know if it helps - I know that sometimes I don't want advice, I just need to vent. So, I'm sorry if you were just venting, I don't mean to make it worse.

Angela - posted on 06/16/2011

soooo......i spent quite a bit of time cleaning the kitchen last night before bed. hubs works 5pm-5am (i've never claimed he won't work.....as long as he's getting paid for it). woke up this morning to the enticing smells of breakfast wafting down the hallway......and i immediately knew MY day was going to start off with getting up and going directly BACK into the damn kitchen to re-clean his fricking mess!!!! all the dishes and pans in the sink (surprised they made it that far, actually), unrinsed, naturally. stove smeared with grease. empty bags on the crumb strewn counters........I. WAS. PISSED!! and my lovely hubby sat on the couch pretending to sleep through all my grumbling and slamming of dishes......even though he is woken up by my mere thoughts of saying something. and even though he only very rarely and very delicately snores he added a good old loud snorting snore for good measure.
he does this to me all the time. it's like he can't stand for things to be clean. as soon as i get done cleaning something he's dirtying it up somehow. don't even get me started on trying to keep my car clean!! or the bedroom. or bathroom. or carport. but we have a spare room that was a mess of items needing to be taken to storage.......a room no one ever goes in and no one ever sees, so it wasn't pressing. i thought he was going to have a nervous breakdown over getting that room cleaned up. i told him just pile it all up on the carport where everyone would be sure to be able to see it like he does with all the useless crap he drags home. and his tools. and his fishing poles. and so on and so forth.
it's a good thing i love him so much and realize, however miniscule they may be, i surely must have a tiny fault or two myself. :D ;)

My husband is crazy competitive. He is on the sideline, yelling at our poor 7 yo daughter while she is playing soccer. Then afterward, he critiques her every move during the game. Lots of fights over this! He didn't seem this way when we were dating, or got married!

Christy - posted on 06/16/2011

What I don't get is, yes, we all married the same man, but how is it that my mom got so lucky and married the one that isn't the same? My dad (and my brother) always clean up after themselves and do housework. My mom refuses to iron, so my dad has always done it, my dad is very organized and clean and he does it himself! I know that most girls look for a man that reminds them of their father, but I am like my dad, so I guess I looked for one that was the opposite? And, yes, I did know that my husband was different than I was when I married him, I could tell by his apartment and car (what a mess!). But I think that he has gotten worse and also that it bothers me more after 18 years. I didn't really think that I would change him, I honestly didn't really think too much about it. That was stupid, but I love him and even if I would have thought about it, it wouldn't have stopped me from marrying him.

Kerry - posted on 06/16/2011

I knew who my husband was when I married him ten years ago. But I did the stupid thing and thought his bad habits would change. Now we have three children, I have four. He is a pig. Burps, farts, never says excuse me, lets them watch inapropriate movies (for there age), never cleans up after himself never helps around the house, and is selfish about the family money. AAAAAARRRGGGG!! Thanks for letting me vent. : )

Constance - posted on 06/16/2011

Hey ladies I think we have all realized one very important thing about us as a group. We may not always agree on different topics but man we all married the same man what are the odds of that. We all feel so alone with a husband that drives crazier than any of kids. We come on this thread and walla we all bond because we realize we are all a little crazy. LOL

Diane - posted on 06/16/2011

Oh My Gosh, Cory B. I have your husband's TWIN!!
He leaves stuff everywhere (I've also tossed stuff out the door), fills every nook and cranny with junk/stuff, doesn't pick things up, doesn't clean up after himself, lives out of laundry baskets (until I need them and dump them on his side of the bed - which usually stays there until next week), starts multiple tasks and rarely finishes them, makes promises he doesn't keep, snores beyond insanity, and keeps my kids up past their bedtime..........I could go on. Good Luck with your own sanity!

He drags his feet across the carpet with his shoes on. The first few steps he takes, he is dragging his feet. Our carpet is light gray. UGH! Doesn't bother me so much when he has on socks.

Constance - posted on 06/15/2011

Laundry I have always just looked at my husband like he is an idiot. He will get on the kids about them not putting the clothes in the basket. Then I will go to do a quick clean up before I head off to bed. His coat will be laying on the floor in front of the door, his damn steel toed boots in the middle of the floor. I have no idea how many times I have brok my flippin toes kicking the damn thing. Shirt on the kitchen chair, socks half way down the hall, and last but not least his pants on the bathroom floor only inches from the laundry basket.
I just look at him and shake my head. He always responds with "What? " I think I cured him of his boots in the middle of the floor. The last time I broke one of my toes I threwboth of his boots at his head. I didn't miss. He looked at me and I told him you don't have to wear the things to work you damn well better by dress shoes or I am filing for divorce. The best part were the kids. They all at the same time " Yeah Christopher get different shoes!!!"
My feet haven't felt this good in 8 years now that he works in another state.

Christy - posted on 06/15/2011

I am glad that it seems like everyone has the same issues, so I am not alone! I have really grown up, I just realized that he isn't doing it on purpose, I know how he was raised (his mother waits on everyone constantly, he never had to do a thing for himself) and I was raised by parents that did everything together and for each other. We all were asked to contribute and especially take care of ourselves. But, because of how we were each raised, we had really different expectations. So now we just communicate our expectations and requests. It has helped a lot to realize that we are not doing what we do intentionally to annoy each other, we are doing it out of love, and so we just try to treat each other the way that we would treat people we don't know. I had realized that I was much nicer to people at the grocery store than to my own family and that really bothered me. It's like I expected them to take it because they love me, when really I should be giving them more consideration because I love them. It is really hard for me, tho, to change. My first reaction is anger, but instead of yelling "Who did this?" or "Didn't anyone notice that the cat threw up?" (when I know darn well they not only heard the cat throwing up, they made sure not to step in it!) I now just ask the closest person to help me out. And when they say "It wasn't me!" I say, "I know, but will you help me out" or I just answer that it doesn't matter who did it, but would you please help me? My kids are teenagers, so they can help, and if they give me an argument, I just remind them of all of the things that we all do to help each other out. It seems to be going pretty well. Much better than me being a martyr, feeling sorry for myself for having to do everything. Or being angry all the time. My kids are older so there is more that they can do, but I wish I would have started this when they were young. Everyone can help. And, I am resisting the urge to redo anything that they do, that is another issue that I have from years of doing everything myself. I have a system and it is the right way (LOL). I let them do it however they want as long as it gets done. And now they will be able to move out and take care of themselves. I was kind of getting concerned that I was raising them the same way my mother-in-law raised her kids. I want my kids to be able to take care of themselves. I don't know if this advice will help anyone, but it is working pretty well for our family.

My Husband is a mechanic and we bought a new van because mine sat broke down for five months, and all that needed to be fixed was a oil seal. He is Always right and then I research to find the truth and when I tell him how it is he changes his story and says that thats what he was saying and therfore he was right. And he coughs all the time, almost everynight he coughs till he pukes, I get annoyed because it keeps me awake. He tells me that he cant help it because he has Sarcoidoses and Asthma, I tell him that he needs to quit smoking and use his inhalers, but he says the inhalers make it worse. He cant work because of the Sarcoidoses, yet I am not allowed to work because it would look bad if he was at home.

With that being said he does cook, clean(except dishes), do laundry, he play with the kids, and he puts up with me and my annoying behaviours

Kimberly - posted on 06/14/2011

After reading some of these posts mine does not seem so bad :-) He keeps the garage clean and the yard in order. He will even put laundry in the washing machine once or twice a week.
I am a clean freak, I got it from my mother. It just bothers me when I go into the kitchen after he makes toast or coco and there is bread crumbs and coco powder on the counter. And I can not cook or do anything in the kitchen when the counters are dirty. So I have to clean the counters off before I make myself breakfast.
Or when he gets home from work and wants to get on the computer when he should maybe spend the next hour playing with his kids. They will be in bed in an hour and he can spend as much time as he wants on the computer.

Kimberly - posted on 06/14/2011

He's messy. Maybe it is a guy thing. But mine makes a mess on the kitchen counter and doesn't clean it up. Leaves his dirty shoes around the house. It's like he doesn't notice when he tracks in dirt onto the floor. It's like having an extra kid around the house.

Jenni - posted on 06/14/2011

Oh I got another one. It drives me absolutely bonkers when he asks me where something is before even attempting to look for it himself!

Fine, if that happened once in awhile but every day: "Honey, have you seen my keys?" You just put them down 40 mins ago, shouldn't you have a better idea of where they are than I would?

"Honey, where's the parmesian cheese?" As he is staring into the fridge and I am on the other side of the house. How should I know, do you think I keep a mental blueprint of the contents of the fridge??

You guys have no idea what your comments have really done for me. I just joined today because I felt very overwhelmed and needed to vent and talk to other moms maybe dealing with the same issues I am dealing with and reading these posts has me crying and laughing at the same time. Thank God I am not the only one dealing with this. I love love love my husband but he's a freaking lazy pig! I am a stay at home mom and I think he believes since he brings home the bacon I have to do all the cleaning and cooking. I literally pick up after him and my two young boys every day. I can clean the kitchen and he will dirty a dish or even a cup and leave it there. His clothes are dropped by the side of our bed all the time. I believe my husband has cleaned the bathroom maybe twice since we moved into our house 3 years ago. I have been asking him to help me clean the garage for two years. Me and my mom ended up cleaning the garage. I have been so pissed off but now I really feel alot better. Thank you ladies. Really thankyou.
