F/U to Husbands

So this morning DH and I are in the kitchen getting our coffee ready.  Here is the conversation:

DH: So, did you forget to run the dishwasher last night?

ME (clearly irritated):  Uh, did I forget to run the dishwasher last night?  Did YOU forget to run the dishwasher last night?

DH (clearly very proud of himself):  Well, you said that we needed to run the dishwasher and when I came out last night to program the coffee maker I noticed that the dishwasher hadn't been started so I took care of it.

CONGRATU-FU**ING-LATIONS!  YOU RAN THE DISHWASHER!  Is someone giving away trophies for such acts of valiance?  Because let me tell you, you might as well call me Sue Sylvester because I am going to need a trophy case for all the prizes coming my way!

WTH? Why is it assumed that I am going to do everything?  How did 'we' become 'me'?  And why does he feel like he should be congratulated for doing something that I do at least three times a week without any acknowledgment?  And clearly he thought this was my task that I failed to do and felt he needed to point that out to me. 

So annoying.

Re: F/U to Husbands

  • Oy!  Seriously?! You should seriously make him a trophy today out of tin foil.

    DH got home last night from being away all week and I decided to stay home to make sure Dewey behaves w/his stitches today... sooo I ask DH to take Simon out this morning and he fought it saying that I'm home all day... excuse me?! This is not fun- I was the one who had to deal with the vet and surgery this week... take the f'ing dog out.

  • If I weren't sitting in a roomful of Kindergarteners right now, I'd be rolling on the floor laughing.   I did just laugh out loud.   Ugh, so right!!!!   And I love the Sue Sylvester shout out!  Joe always makes an announcement when he does something.  Like I need an fing play by play.   Good for you, you should do it!!!!   Men....

  • I am so glad I am not alone in this!  Rick thinks its my job to cook, clean, and do the laundry...not sure what exactly provoked that thinking (he was raised better than that) I am also not sure what his "job" is if I am doing all that crap...men

  • I like when they say, I was going to do it but you did it first. As if the 2-3 days it wasn't done wasn't enough time for them to have completed ....insert task.... You did it just to say that they never do anything.

    That's what I love :)

  • OMG, I love the idea of Sue Sylvester trophy rooms for wives who do it all!  The whole post had me laughing. Husbands, got to love them.

  • We're talking about pushing a button on a dishwasher, here, right?!  They are unbelievable.  I could see if he did something really helpful like all the laundry or something, but now they want a pat on the back for pushing a button?   I like the tinfoil trophy idea.

    Turning a dial actually, but yes, something simple...

  • Oh, I love that I am not the only one who deals with this.  DH will proudly tell me "I ran your dishwasher".  I ask "am I the only one who uses the plates?"  I then say if he really wants to be proud he should also put all the dishes away.  Big whoop, you put some soap in the cup and turn the dial to on.  Yeah that really is the hardest part of washing dishes.
