Must vent...
So we are stressed I get that but my DH has been getting on my nerves a bit lately.
He is very precise in his work almost to a fault. I can't do a lot of the work because it is too much on my body. Yesterday, it took him almost 4 hours to paint a window and part of a door frame! In half of that time, I painted a bookshelf and a dresser with 8 drawer fronts, made lunch, ate lunch, and knitted half of a quilt square. I just don't know what takes him sooooo long.
Then all I wanted to do today was watch movies on the couch. Well, because he didn't get as far as he wanted he decided to paint and no matter how much I protested he was going to do what he wanted.
Then he gets overwhlemed by all of the projects that we have to do and I say "focus in one room and we will deal with the rest later". That was "lecturing" him!
So I have come to terms with the fact that he wants to paint and that I will do other things and what do I catch him doing for an hour... playing with the dog! He just has no sense of time or an ability to work at a quick pace and it really bugs me.
Ok, vent over I guess. I still love him and I am glad that he takes pride in his work I just wish that I could get him to "put a wiggle in it!"
Re: Must vent...
I'm sorry, that really sucks.
I get the opposite from DH. Sometimes he gets all "go go go" when I just want to chill and they will make a comment like "well someone has to get stuff done" as if I don't dust, mop, scrub etc etc but because I don't always get to each detail by the weeked. Blech. I feel your pain on another side and it's annoying both ways!
