I'm going to lose my mind

I just need to vent. We are moving next week. H is leaving sunday nighy to start work. We are moving from a 2100 sq ft place to a super old 1200 sq ft place with no garage. H has not packed a thing yet. There are still a ton of little things that need done but they are all adding up. If my mom wasn't here helping I'm sure I would kill H. I love him to death but he is terrible at estimating how long it takes him to do anything and takes on too much at once. Also our loan is taking way to long to get done and too many hoops to jump so I think we are just going to pay cash which is insane.

We still have to find renters as well and A was up every hour last night for some reason. Im going out for drinks with friends and leaving h at home with A.

I'm sorry. My H can get like that too and it takes everything I have not to throttle him.

My H was the same way when we were moving and it drove me INSANE. I had the entire house packed except his multitude of crap and he had zero sense of urgency even two days before moving. I completely understand your frustration!

Enjoy drinks out tonight!

I don't know how they do this.  I was packing for our move with any free moment I had, my stuff and all of the girls at the time, and he was like, "I'll just throw it in a bag, or we'll throw it on the truck, wala!"  Wouldn't you know, moving day he was sick, plus it took hours longer than we had wanted because when all we should've been doing was  putting stuff on the truck and cleaning, he was taking his sweet ass time sorting through things!!  So frustrating.

marie3246  Hope you have a good time tonight!

Bless your heart. We just moved a couple of months ago. DH spent exactly 10 hours packing up his stuff in total, due to work commitments. We had lived there for 9 years and have two kids who were pissed to move. It pretty much sucks.

Oh man, something similar when we last moved. Guess who had to take the truck back at midnight because he underestimated how many loads it would take to move his crap from the basement? Hint: not me

We are also moving next week and my H has a completely different idea than I do about how much time and effort it takes to pack up our 3 bedroom apartment + garage with a toddler. I've been using naptime and evenings after DS goes to sleep to pack for weeks now. He has packed approximately 4 boxes (of easy stuff, nothing requiring more effort than literally tossing it into a box) and has otherwise sat on the couch telling me he doesn't know why I'm doing all this work so far ahead, that we can just throw shit in boxes haphazardly at the end. Yep, that method will sure be fun for me to unpack while he's at work. No thank you. So I keep packing and seething.

It sucks I hope your daughter sleeps better for you tonight!

Thanks all! I feel much better after some drinks!. We picked some new renters tonight who won't be moving in til the 15th so for now I'm just trying not to stress. I hired a cleaning lady for next week plus a move out and a girls night tomorrow I'm going to enjoy my last few nights here for sure!!

This is how my DH is. The last time we moved it was only the 2 of us and we lived in a 1 bedroom apartment. We now have 2 kids and a 4 bedroom house. We are planning to move in the next year and I'm pretty sure he will drive me crazy. I have already told my mom that I need her help and we haven't even found the house yet.
