Pulling Teeth
I get so annoyed when I try to help DH out and he acts like I'm inconveniencing him!
Example 1: I've been running with my friend A in the evenings. DH fishes with her husband J pretty regularly. A told me last night that J wanted to fish with DH soon. Since A and J have kids, we can't both run and fish on the same night. So I told DH that he should schedule fishing with J since A and I had been talking about running for the next few nights. I didn't want to boys to not be able to fish if they wanted to due to our running schedule. DH got all annoyed with me. Seriously? I'm trying to help you go fishing!
Example 2: We agreed previously to go camping on Labor Day weekend. DH hates camping and I really enjoy it. In order to make it better for DH, we invited A and J and their kids. Since one of their kids is too small to stay the night, I asked DH if he would want to head home with J in the evening to hang out at home while he puts her to bed. He got all annoyed with again! Well I could just make you go camping with me if you want and not bring along friends or try to make things more enjoyable for you! Gees!
Does anyone else have this problem??
Re: Pulling Teeth
Yup. I can't think of an example at the moment, but if you've ever watched family guy (or seen the commercial) of Stewey saying "mom" all over again, just to have the mom say "What?" and he only wants to say "HI" to Lois--that's often how I feel about my DH. He'll want me to come RIGHT THAT SECOND to look at something he's found on the internet a) that could have waited 5 minutes until I was actually done with whatever I was doing b) wasn't that interesting/funny (and I'm pretty easily amused c) clearly not nearly as important as say MAKING DINNER when we're both hungry.
Sometimes, you just can't win. Thankfully/hopefully it doesn't happen too too frequently, so we just overlook it.
DH right there! But what I find even better, is he's on his IPhone and wants ME to go to HIM.... If I'm cooking, get off your lazy @ss and show me, don't make me come to you!
