Husband Rant

I am tired of coming home to a dirty house every smurfing night. Yes, he works 40 hours a week. I smurfing do too. Not only that, but I ALSO go to school full time and take care of all of our sons appointments AND I'm almost 30 weeks pregnant. The house is clean every smurfing day when he gets home from work, our son has had both breakfast and lunch and is dressed. Then I go to work and come home and there's dried food all over the stove, the dishes are every where, the high chair tray still has food on it, there's muddy dog prints EVERY WHERE, laundry still sitting in the dryer and on top of the dryer and toys smurfing every where. I'm tired of it. Normally I just clean it up myself and go to bed but today I specifically asked him to fold the god damn laundry and pick up all the legos in Reise's room. That was it. All he had to do. And instead he played Call of Duty with his brother all night and went to bed an hour before I got off work.

It annoys me that I have to tell him what needs to be done, but I can deal with it. When he just flat out doesn't do anything regardless of me asking, that pisses me the smurf off. I just cleaned all day, worked all night and now I have to clean up after him before I can go to bed. And it's not like we haven't had a discussion about this before. It's smurfing bull smurf.

End rant.

Quoting Reise's Mommy:" I am tired of coming home to a dirty house every smurfing night. Yes, he works 40 hours a week. I smurfing ... [snip!] ... him before I can go to bed. And it's not like we haven't had a discussion about this before. It's smurfing bull smurf. End rant."

the mess probably doesn't bother him so he doesn't clean. Sounds like me the only way things will get done is if you do it yourself. men are so oblivious to mess sometimes

I freaking hate that danm video game! I always get ignored because of it!

It pisses me the smurf off! If our kid doesn't have any clothes and you're asking me what needs to be done around the house you're a moron. Obviously the smurfing laundry needs to be done. UGH!

I took his xbox with me to work for 2 weeks because he was ignoring our kid playing it. He would put Reise down for a second nap every day so he could play because I bitched about him playing in front of him. He half asses smurfing everything, being a husband and father included. I am gonna go the smurf off. Again.

I hate that game, too. Thankfully, my fiance only plays once in awhile now. It was to the point where I became a COD widow. He has his days where he will play, but mostly he does other things now. But whenever he gets a new game... Oy!

I can kind of relate. A lot of times, he'll tell me "I'm going to clean the kitchen on tomorrow" or something similar...and he has 3 days off in a row and all he does is wash dishes that he needs in order to make food...and the kitchen never gets done. And no matter how many times I ask him not to put his dirty clothes on the floor in the living room on the side of the sofa, he still does it. It was worse when I was working. I was cleaning up after him and his dad (who stayed home doing nothing all day long).

I feel your frustration. Most times I do it myself (with a heavy amount of grumbling), but there are times where I just want to slap him upside the head and say "REALLY?? How many times do we have to discuss this??".

Honestly, for your DH to engross himself in video games and not interact with his son is wrong...and it's bad for your DS as well. Being ignored by your father can have lasting effects on self-esteem.

Which is exactly why I was taking his xbox to work with me. I had had enough. I asked him not to play in front of him anymore because the game is violent and I didn't want him around it, and so to get around that he would just put him in bed and he would lay in there and cry and he wouldn't even be able to hear him. I had my sister spy on him while I was at work and once she saw this a couple times I left work early one day and told him either his xbox was going or we were. He's quit playing before DS's bed time now but it's still all he does after he goes to bed.

When we were living right next to work he was better. He would come home on his breaks and see I was frustrated and exhausted and would help when he got home but since we moved to our house we don't see each other at all during the week except long enough to say hey, bye when he comes home and I leave. I'm just tired of being the only one doing EVERYTHING. And he smurfing wonders why I'm not buying him any of the new games he wants for Christmas. No. I will never, ever buy him another game. He's 32 years old. He needs to grow the smurf up.
