Re: POLL: DH, 3 years* later
What does he STILL do that drives you nuts? He is pretty dirty. He leaves dishes with food still on them out all the time (my huge pet peeve) and never wipes out the sink after shaving or anything. Yuck. Constant source of stress in our house. I knew this after seeing his apartment while we were dating but come on...
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? He's just very charming-he likes to corner me and make me hug or kiss him, even when I don't feel like it, and it always leaves me laughing.
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? Not scoop Wally's poop. THat has been his job forever but now he's "too busy".
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon? Tuck me in all cute-like since I'm sleeping in the guest room most nights. And sit with me when I'm sick, like this morning.
What does he STILL do that drives you nuts? He says "My point is...." all. the. time. If we're having a disagreement, he says it 20 times. Crazyville.
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? He still compliments me all the time. Just makes me feel good.
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? He has been working a LOT. He's missed a lot of Molly growing up. To make up for that, he will ask me the dumbest questions. Like, Did you feed her? No, I forgot. Babies let you slip when they're hungry, you know. He double checks the most basic stuff.
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon? He is so good with her when he is home. I love watching him with her. I didn't put her to bed last night so he could when he got home. It was so adorable to watch (and then eavesdrop on the baby monitor).
MyFitnessPal - Free Calorie Counter
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? He cooks & cleans!
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? Grinds his teeth when he sleeps. I kind of want to punch him.
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon?He's a great dad.
Our crazy, wonderful life
What does he STILL do that drives you nuts? Gets really pedantic during an arguement or even if you don't understand him and say "what" more than twice he goes really loud and slow talks like I'm a moron.
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? The way he takes care of me. My happiness is #1.
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? Complains about something but does nothing to fix it or has no action plan to make it better. I am not saying you can't just vent, but if you're still upset 3 years later that you have no friends in town....put forth some effort to, you know, meet people.
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon? Him as a Daddy. He will do whatever/whenever.
What does he STILL do that drives you nuts? He's a PIG. He puts away empty cartons, he leaves stuff out instead of returning it to it's place, he will walk past a pile of dishes for 3 days before I finally have to tell him to please help out. He does most chores half-assed so he can just get by. Drives me NUTS since I am very tidy and organized.
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? He makes me laugh. It's so stupid and cliche, but it's true, especially when we are arguing. He will think of something from a movie we love and incorporate it into the argument until I'm dying laughing.
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? He has become somewhat less adventurous, like he'd rather stay in the pool than go in the ocean, and he won't do rollercoasters anymore. He used to be up for anything.
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon? Gotta go with everyone else and say being a daddy... definitely.
What does he STILL do that drives you nuts? He is messy, messy, messy. And he won't close his dresser drawers after he's finished with them. Seriously? It takes a second to do! He also has quite a jealous streak and it drives me nuts.
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? He will look at me and, out of the blue, say "You are so HOT."
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? He will volunteer to do a chore, and do it half-assed until I complete it later.
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon? Wears cologne.
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? He always has put me #1 and continues to do that to this day. He would drop anything and everything for me if I needed him to.
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? He has gotten much messier over the years. He is content with leaving recycle just sitting on the counter rather than in the recycle bin in the garage. He is ok with leaving a roll of toilet paper on the counter rather than replacing the used roll. He grew up in a very tidy house and has just recently started putting those cleaning habits to the side.
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon? As we are getting into selling our house - he has really taken charge. I am typically the one in charge of all things money, so it has been a huge load off of me for him to take on the selling of our house (calling the realtor, calling the roofer, etc.). I love seeing him take charge so I don't have to worry about it much.
What does he STILL do that drives you nuts? I'mm reiterate Kim....He's a pig
. He leaves the toilet seat up, he takes his clothes off and puts them on the floor RIGHT BY THE HAMPER, he leaves bottles and cups all over his nightstand, and he just is dirty.
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? Makes me laugh all the time, supports me in my decisions even if it may not be what he would have done, and
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? Not take care of the dogs. This was always his job but when he got his new full time job he will get in bed to watch tv and when I ask if he took out the dogs he says "oh I forgot can you do it please I'm so tired"....ugh! It's just lately so hopefully it changes soon!
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon? Recognizes when I am having a bad day and try to do something to help me out (ie Tell me to go take a bath and he takes Taylor, make dinner or offer to take us out to dinner) and he has been WANTING to get more involved and do more things with my mom and dad.
What does he STILL do that drives you nuts?
He rarely does anything around the house. During the summer it isn't as big of a deal, since I'm home. However, during the school year I have 3 jobs... Mom, teacher, housekeeper. I HATE that I have to nag him to get him to do chores around the house. We've talked about doing a schedule of who does what chores when. We haven't set it up yet, but I don't know what will happen if/when we do.
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon?
The way he will make me laugh when I'm grumpy, crabby, or sad. He'll be silly or make me kiss or hug him. He gets pleasure out of making me smile and I love that he can always make me laugh. Not exactly swoon-worthy, but I love this characteristic about him!
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts?
Not put any laundry away. I refuse to put his laundry away (because he has SO many clothes) so I wash it, fold it, and lay it on the bed. He just piles it up on a box (that's been sitting in our bedroom for MONTHS) and takes clothes from that pile to get dressed and such.
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon?
The way he is with Abbie. I love watching him take care of her. He's a great Dad.
What does he STILL do that drives you nuts? He wastes money. He has gotten better about it but he still spends so much on taking a hundred vitamins and getting special protein powder, pre-work out mix, etc. It's ridiculous and excessive.
What does he STILL do that makes you swoon? He's cutesy and lovey.
What has he STARTED to do that drive you nuts? Spending more time out of the house. He has been going fishing a lot more on his day off. To be fair, I told him to enjoy it while he still could but I didn't think he would go as much as he does. He also goes to the gym every morning so I don't get to see him very much before he goes to work either.
What has he STARTED to do that makes you swoon? He takes care of me and the house so much more now that I'm pregnant and have been having complications since Day 1. He is totally on the ball with getting the nursery ready for the boys.
