mess makers rant

[Eve_4]

Does anyone else have problems with their husbands making messes just like a kid?  I'm 6 weeks pregnant and my energy level is a little low.  Yesterday I busted my butt off to clean the house just to see my hardwork being undone :'(

Ahh I know what u mean my husband comes home and leaves his lunch box somewhere along the way if not I have to take out out the car takes of his pants leaves them somewhere then leaves his shirt somewhere else and socks somewhere else then he showers and leaves the towel on the floor ahh he kills Me sometimes and when I tell him he says I'll try to start helping but never seems to help

My sister in law and i are pregnant! We live together she's 6months pregnant and i am 4weeks and 3 days. Her Husband doesn't help at all around the house she does absolutely everything for him even when in days he doesn't work. But she has trained him this way. When she complains I'm not sure what to say to her because i believe is her fault in part for not letting him know she's a wife not a made!! In my case my husband is currently unable to walk he had an accident and he is waiting for surgery!so as of right now i do most things. However i do tell him once he is better he has to help me because i wasn't raised to be a maid.

I had the same problem with my husband. I've been sick since day one and now its almost week 19 and I'm still so sick, So cleaning is not at the top of my list. I finally snapped after I cleaned his dirty socks out of the couch cushions four days in a row. I told him that I am not his mother and it is not my job to pick up after him and if he continues then he can move back home.

This is child #4 for me (or #5 if u count my hubby).  I have a 15 year old, 13 year old and 8 year old-all girls so besides working outside the home;  inside the home it's cooking,  cleaning, taxi, fashion designer,  hair dresser, teacher, advisor, the list goes on...

I dont mind cleaning but when he makes comments that its "my job" i get irritated. Im not a girl who agrees with women cleaning/ cooking while men make the money and support the family. Id much rather go out and work and be able to support myself, thats just how i was raised.

I think its cute when my hubby makes a mess, but he also Helps clean (not all of put) like he will throw his clothes every where but he will turn around and wash the dishes.
I guess its who ever is closer or up for it does that chore. But while he is at work i do the hard stuff, deep cleaning, mopping, steam cleaning etc

it's easier as a stay at home wife than a stay at home mom. you aren't having to run around after little kids, make them meals, do their laundry, clean their messes, give them baths, all while providing opportunities to grow, develop, and learn.
right now, all you have to worry about is your two messes, meals, etc. but when you spend all day running around and cleaning and evenings aren't for relaxing, they're for cleaning up your husband's mess and getting the kids, and play time, bath time, reading time, bed time (which is quite often a.disagreeable experience). I'm not trying to offend anyone, but you'll see the difference when you transition from sah wife to sah mother.

I understand the frustration but I'm a stay at home wife so he comes in makes his messes n I clean it all up when he goes back to work. When he's home were together cuz of his long hours ... lifes too short to stress over little things :) no mess he can make is really that major in my opinion.

I meant to say don't pay attention to the man child
And I'm sure there are other ways that you can get him to understand that he needs to help out around the house if he's not listening to your words

[ramyamommy]

Taking care of three small children is like having two full time jobs :/
Even if you're a stay at home mom you can ask for help from your partner
Stand up for yourself ladies
If your husband/boyfriend is throwing his dirty laundry on the floor put a laundry basket where he likes to throw his dirty stuff and let it fill up all week when he starts running out of things to wear and asks where his clean laundry is point to his basket tell him he hasn't done it yet
Now if you been doing his wash for him he's going to throw a fit at this because he thought he had you trained but pain attention to the manchild

My husband is bad too he leaves his clothes where ever he takes them off. Waits a couple of day to bring in the Tupperware. And it hard for me to keep up with cuz I still get morning sickness even though I'm 19 week. Bit now he's getting a lil better.

[isaknhenrysmama]

I am in the same boat. I am a stay at home mom with a 4.5 year old a 10 month old a 37 year old and am 15 weeks with baby 3. I don't even want to bother cleaning. Every time I do within 10 minutes of my husband getting home it is a disaster.

[addie213]

All the time!! I'm 13 weeks pregnant and having the worst sickness . I simply tell him " your mother does not live here" he's a grown man I shouldn't have to be picking up after him in between running to the bath room every hour to throw up!!!! Rant over.

[victoriamichelle1010]

My bf does that everyday.... i clean the house cause i dont have a job and as soon as he gets home he throws his luch bkx on the counter( like im supposed to put it all away...) goes in the room kicks off his shoes throws his clothes in the corner and what not then lays on the couch and turns the tv on. Its amazing how they just dont care...
