Men!
DH's new idea of "watching" Jane is allowing her to watch as much Mickey Mouse as she wants on his computer. Meanwhile I let her watch one TV episode in the morning and spend the rest of her day telling her No. He's gone bye-bye. Etc.... Sure, it's easy, but COME ON. I don't normally don't vent about him b/c he's awesome with her but this bugs me and he knows it.
He also hates that the ceilings in our basement are low. He's 6' 4". Every damn time he's down there he hits his head. Hard. Then curses about the house, etc. As if it's the houses fault. I just don't get how he doesn't learn. I am 8 inches shorter than he and I walk around hunched over "just in case". It's not that hard. I just......don't get it. Unfortunately he's had to spend a lot of time down there since Friday.
What do your H's do that make you scratch your head like, WTF?
Re: Men!
This except insert Yo Gabba Gabba for MMC. My policy is one hour/ two episodes a day.
My DH does the same thing, except it's not in our house, it's our horse trailer. The trailer has a bunch of different ways to get in and also has a separate dressing room. All of the doorways are smaller than DH, so he needs to duck. Except he doesn't! Whenever we go to trailer our horse somewhere, he's always whacking his head followed by lots of cussing. I don't get it! lol
This morning she slept for 40 mins b/c the entire time he was like "Megan, come to the basement door!" "Megan, can you get me some paper towel!" Granted, he was cleaning our basement, but shhhh!
When I ask DH to help put away laundry, he puts it on hangers and then hangs it on the plantation shutters and leaves it there. It is an equal walk to the closet as it is to the shutters. He also hangs "semi-dirty" clothes on the shutters - as in, he has wore them once but thinks he can wear them again before they need to be washed. And pants/shirts that need repairs. A pair of pants that need to be re-hemmed have literally been hanging on the shutters for at least 1.5 months. (And I don't think they can even be repaired.)
I need to just get this off my chest. DH has some sort of June Cleaver thing going on in his head. He guilts the hell out of me for being a SAHM. Like, it must be nice to be with Molly all day. To be honest, it's not. It's mind numbing. I find myself becoming resentful of her because I need an adult conversation. He is OOT a lot, and yesterday he called 3 times. Every time he called, he asked the dumbest questions. For instance- have you fed her yet? For REAL? So, you want me to SAH, you want me to only take care of Molly, but you obviously don't trust me to do it.
And last night, he cuts our phone call off saying he has to work in 7 hours. Well, DH, you just got home from a 3 hour dinner at a resort that you nicely told me the history of and how cool it is and I'm changing a poopy diaper. I needed to go to the store, and he tells me to not take her out so late (if I hadn't been listening to you, I could have gone already!). And you have to work? WTF? Because I don't work, at all. For the love of all things holy, the last time I had a break was when he came home and I had to make a bank deposit by four. I ran out the door and made the deposit and went to buy our specialty cat food and some space bags. I barely made it into the pet store before he calls needing me home.
I need a break. I need a job. I need to have a conversation that doesn't involve the word poop. He doesn't get that my life does not involve bonbons and rainbows, it sucks. I'm really, really close to losing it.
Sorry if this is a threadjack, I really really needed to just vent.

I understand how you feel about a lot this. I am a SAHM too and DH just doesn't understand how hard it is. I don't think I've been away from Kodi for more than 1 hour at a time in 8 months. A couple weeks ago, DH decided to give me a break so he played with Kodi for an hour so I could get some other things done. During that hour, he asked me to make him and Kodi lunch. So I spent half of my one hour break, making lunch for them.
