    My husband just went back to work after 9 days off. The lawn still hasn't been mowed. I am now going to do it over the next few days (I have a 1 year old at home who sleeps unpredictably and will quite often wake after 20 minutes and needs help getting back to sleep... can't hear him over the mower) 15 minutes at a time and tell him to shove it when he whinges that I haven't done it right. I just want somewhere for the kids to play OUTSIDE.

    My SO is the same -- so I hired someone to mow the lawn. He was not happy about it. Told him I'm going to hire someone to fix the handrail on the outside steps; fix the mailbox; load up the trash he has piled up outside -- all things I can't do due to physical handicap and he has been promising to do for over two years. He doesn't work so he has the time to do these things --- but he is
    L-A-Z-Y. :explode:

    I know this was just a joking thread. And it was funny! But, it seems like the conversation got serious.

    I have nothing to complain about with my husband. Because he is a great guy and I'm easy going. And yes, we have known each other for 17 years, been in relationship for 15, and married for 13. I really really like him.

    We have gone through hard times, but not with each other. We were there to support each other when one or the other of us was going through a difficult time. I am forever thankful to my husband.

    But, a really funny thing is that for some reason I feel irrationally angry at him when he does the laundry. I know it sounds bizarre. But, for some reason I like to do the laundry myself. If he does the laundry, I need to walk away and be by myself for a minute until I realize that there is absolutely nothing to be angry about and it was nice of him to help out. Now, he just says, "I'm going to start some laundry". And then I say, "I'll do it, can I do it?" He says the best way to get me to do the laundry is to tell me that he's going to do it. I've been doing my own laundry since I was 9. I was always responsible for my own laundry. I guess I just got used to it being something that I do.

    My ex bought me Canada dry ginger ale when I was pregnant and craving Schwepps which made me cry.

    That isn't, however,why he is my ex.

    Well I'm not going to be pissy for doing what I ask, but this is what I commonly get:

    I wasn't going to open this thread, let alone reply, because I am a strong believer in not "bashing" your husband to anyone. If you have a problem with him, you need to discuss it with him. Not your mom, your friends, random strangers.

    However, I am pleased to see that the majority of this thread is in a joking manner and there aren't any hard feelings.

    I find when I am angry at my husband, it's usually because I didn't communicate what I wanted clearly.

    I did forward him the raccoon with the plot to not drive :) He now knows my evil plan!

    Have you tried telling him how you feel?

    Yup, we've had that conversation. In fact we had that conversation the first evening. I reminded him on the fourth day and then gave up. This is after reminding him every Friday night for the last month. Don't get me wrong he is a great dad and a very caring husband but household maintenance isn't his strong suit.
