My husband is awesome, but...(fill in the blank)

[salsaverde]

my husband is super awesome MOST of the time, but.................................

he plays xbox every single night for 2+ hours. I am actually quite embarrassed to share this.

[mrs.jacinthe]

He can go right past thrifty and all the way to "cheap" VERY quickly.

[sjh722]

If he's not totally done wearing something, he lays it down on the floor next to his side of the bed instead of putting it in the closet. (i.e. work khakis) Then he complains if they get dog hair on them.

If it's clean enough to wear again, put it back where you found it!

[Deleted]

he has a tendency to need to come in the house for something super fast with his barn boots on, but only on the days I just scrubbed the floor five minutes prior!

[emoflamingo]

Salsa, mine plays SNES. Which is a little worse lol.

Mine also has a tendency to only half do something. I cleaned every room in our house BUT the hall closet his clothes are in, our bedroom and the half bathroom in our room. I asked him to clean the last two and he got 3/4 of the way through our room and didn't touch the bathroom before he quit. It's on his to-do list for this weekend and if he doesn't do it, I'm hiding all the SNES games before I leave for work on Monday!

[miniroller]

PS3, salsa!! Know EXACTLY what ur talking about.



(Except I'm a super h&g lurker, but I couldn't not respond to this!! Will intro soon! )

[pitterwoo]

....but he's terrified of filing and organizing papers, yet even more terrified of using online bill pay and things like that which would reduce the amount of paperwork to mess with.

[MrsMB]

...but he has three different piles he throws dirty clothes in. Each morning when I do laundry, I go by each pile with the laundry basket as I'm on my way to the laundry room. Yes, you're all thinking why not make him pick a single spot. But honestly, I pick my battles.

He's great and it's not something I'm going to freak over....

[bunnymendelbaum]

...But he's terrible at time management mostly because he's the worst perfectionist who ever lived. Eta: and this does not result in things turning out perfectly. It just makes them take 10x longer until he gives up and does them the 'normal' way.

(He also has a pile of clothes next to the bed. Drives me nuts.)

I'm guilty of leaving the wipes & cabinets open. The cabinets thing drives him so crazy that sometimes I open them all just as a joke.

[kaylie]

Mine does PS3 too!

Honestly, I have a pretty great husband. He lets me have my way on all things related to D&R, he compliments everything I cook (and does the dishes) and he carries heavy objects.

My one big complaint is that he SUCKS at answering his cell phone. There's no way to get in touch with him easily during an emergency because he just doesn't check it. I have left him voice mails with some VERY colorful language.

[kaylie]

Oh, he also tends to leave garbage everywhere. Sure, he'll change out the electrical outlet but then he leaves the screws sitting there for weeks. Or he unwraps the packaging on something but doesn't throw away the packaging. I've told him we have to work on that because once we have a kid he can't just be leaving small objects wherever he goes.

[Deleted]

He is awful at dressing the girls. No, all pinks do not go together. He is fine with DS. Jeans or khaki go with everything, but not so much with other colors.
He is also not so hot at dressing himself. I am glad that he lets me choose his work clothes. He is in med. admin. and needs to dress like a grown up but he would prefer to where cartoon t-shirts and cargo shorts. We have had the discussion that "No, khaki cargo pants are not dress clothes. You are not a 12 year old boy. Pairing them with a white shirt and tie does not make them appropriate for church or a meeting with the CEO." He relented, luckily.
That is about all I have. He is pretty stellar as far as most things go.

[thewop]

Sounds like we need a H&G PS3 husband group. Lol.

....he always asks me what DD can do/have. "Hon can Renee have more carrots?" Um..yeah. You're a perfectly capable father, make the decision yourself. Or my fav "What pj's should she wear?" Dude, put her in whatever is clean, I don't care! Other than that he's pretty amazing. I don't have much to complain about right now. (Surprisingly)

[finally]

...but he's the world's worst procrastinator. "Why do today what I can do tomorrow!" is his motto! It drives me crazy!

[315bride]

...I wish he didn't snore. Sometimes I just can't handle it.

He eats a LOT. And he is really thin. Like, I always equate a lot to the fact that he FREQUENTLY eats two chipotle burritos in a sitting.

Oh yeah, that's annoying too. Mine can buy a chocolate bar and eat one little square every few days. A chocolate bar lasts WEEKS. If you give me a chocolate bar it will be gone within days.

LOL. We got this going on too. Dude, just do it. He manages splendidly with her without me, I don't know why he can't function when i'm not home.

My H is pretty great too. Works too much, makes a mess of my floor but all things considered and seeing what my friends b*tch about on the regular, I'm pretty lucky.

[emisi]

He throws away any mail I leave on the counter or table. Without looking at it. I left a $160 check on the table once so I would remember to take it to the bank the next day and he threw it away.

[Deleted]

he comes out of the bathroom and walks around the house while flossing his teeth..... my.biggest.pet.peeve!

[magdala9]

he walks into the house, removes shoes and socks and drops them.

[Deleted]

...he watches tv just for the sake of watching it. Even if there is nothing good on, he still wants the tv on.

[RoxMonster]

he is forgetful
he is obsessed with all fantasy sports and spends hours planning out mock drafts, real drafts, and who knows what else

[sierramist03]

Leaves his stuff everywhere and when I come home and start picking it up gets upset that I'm not resting umm hello this is your stuff.

[mrsemilys]

He is forgetful and if I remind him he gets annoyed that I'm reminding him.....um, hello if I don't remind you it may never get done. It's a catch 22 and I hate it. Write it down and take care of your shit.

[boiler717]

His memory sucks

[amblor]

-he's oblivious to a lot of things

-he also plays hours of video games or surfs the internet on his PC at night. It's after I go to sleep, but I think he could do something more constructive if he's going to stay up.

-he uses my dining room table chairs as his dressing room? Just throws the clothes over the backs of chairs.
