mini rant

I know I'm hormonal right but ugh I get beyond irritated at my significant other for being so careless about picking up after himself. I just came home from working nightshift so he had already left for work, but didnt care to pick up his clothes and dirty socks from the livingroom, the comforter and pillows on our bed were everywhere, there were wet towels on the floor from his shower and to top it all off, he ate the apple fritter I had bought for myself yesterday! You never eat a pregnant woman's treats lol. I'm just blown away by how slobbish guys can be and it doesnt bother them in the least. I do wish his mother would have taught him to pick up after himself better. Sorry, I just needed to vent so I don't go pregzilla on him later =/

Wow, I thought my man was the only slob. The only time he cleans if I am home and make him or call him and yell. Or when he thinks he get something in return if u know what I mean. Don't  feel bad u r not the girl who goes thru it. The only thing I will say my man knows better is he doesn't mess with my snacks when pregnant and he knows when I have had enough of his messiness.

I feel the same way!! And I don't work either so it my job too. And I have a 4yr old a 2yr old and my husband seems like a 5yr old leaves his clothes including socks! All over. Not only do I have to cook I have to serve then clean up after him you would think that just MAYBE he could take his plate to the sink! Or maybe just one morning he could ask me what I would like for breakfast instead of going "I'm hungry" I don't know if I get to 9 months and he's not being more considerate of me I might have to smack him!

Oh my gosh I get annoyed at everything these boys don't do these days! (I live with not only my fiance but his equally if not more so slobbish brother) I am the only one without a job so most of the time, I don't mind being the only one who cleans but they seriously don't make it easy!! They both leave their nasty dirty socks everywhere too, and 95% of the time, their food trash/cups/plates etc as well. Every time I get the apartment to look nice and clean, the very next day, they trash it and I try so hard not to get mad and ***** at them because I'm at home all day - it's sort of my job but DAMN! I'm almost 9 months pregnant and it's not easy and I've pretty much given up.

Yes good advice specialmom, communication is the key to a healthy relationship that's for sure (and great idea to hide my treats hahaha!)  Thanks ladies for your comments, it really did help me cheer up :) I just struggle with telling him things I want him to work on because I get accused of nagging. It's a lot easier to discuss things with someone when you're not boiling mad so being able to vent definitely helped. Thanks again!

Men!  Grrrr. You know, prior to having your baby, I'd sit down with him and discuss expectations and division of labor.  Otherwise, you will be nuts cleaning up after babies, toddlers AND husband.  I'm shocked at the way my house can look 5 minutes after I straighten it on a regular basis so at least the other adult in the house with me can help out, right?  So, talk about what you WANT him to do.  Be really clear.  Wet towels always hung up and not on floor.  Dirty clothes IN hamper always.  Think about what is most important to you.  I can live with a messed up bed and straighten it up myself but if you want him to do that too, let him know.  Tell him it is important you are a team.  WORKING TOGETHER.  I have a list of my husband's JOBS on top of usual straightening up.  He gets to clean the upstairs toilets.  :>)  I do the downstairs one.  I just wrote it out.  I'm a stay at home mom so do most of the housework but on weekends, he can help out!  And if you are working too, you need him to be a team mate and work on this stuff with you.

As to the apple fritter . . .  I HIDE my treats.   :>)  good luck hon

Bahaha I may be doing an art project later, thanks emi. And what the hell is it about men and leaving their socks everywhere?! It's nice to know you share my pain missy. Maybe we should stuff them down their throats next time they leave them in a clean room ;)
