My husband is available for trade today-make me an offer!

He PROMISED that he will finish putting away his laundry (that I washed and folded last weekend but has been in piles ALL OVER our room for a week +), then finish the dishes (which is his "chore" but I have done them EVERY.SINGLE.DAY this week... including today, but there are some big items I asked him to finish) before he went to bed last night.

I wake up this morning to discover nothing put away, no dishes washed AND he never took Wally out to potty last night (which I never have had to ask him to do, he always does this because he stays up later than I do).

So... what do you have to offer?  Cake? Cookies? I'll make you a trade!

Re: My husband is available for trade today-make me an offer!

  • Does he mow the lawn?  My DH has put off mowing for the last THREE weeks.  I would trade for a DH that can mow the lawn!

  • Ugh, I know the feeling.  I wish there was some sort of leverage I had over mine to make him do what I ask, but alas, he knows there isn't.
    Married in 2008 - DD born in 2010 - EDD 6.15.2012!
  • I am the bad husband, so I have no advice.  Just that I am keeping my DH - no trade!

    He was up early and took out all the garbage, unloaded the dishwasher, got the baby up, dressed and fed. All without asking.  Me?  Oh, I was sleeping and then I.........did nothing.  I drove him to the train, does that count?! :)

    I am so thankful he does things like that but I have to try to do more too so I'm not like the 'bad husband' who doesn't do anything.

  • I will trade you for one husband who will do chores when you very specifically ask (as in, he won't rinse a dish with stuck on food unless I specifically tell him...you'd think he'd catch on), collects and paints models like a 16 year old boy who has never seen a grown woman naked, and has weird emotional attachment to stuff (lots and lots of stuff) so that our home is always cluttered.

    On the positive side, he's very cute and affectionate.

    HAHAHAHA.

    Only the front yard "because that's what people see".

    Our backyard hasn't been mowed in a month+.  I would mow it myself but I am not giving in to that (plus I'm playing the pregnancy card-our yard is a hill and we have an old push mower-not self-propelled).

    The highlight is that he tried to have sex this morning, which I was totally agreeing to until I got up to pee and discovered the piles of clothes everywhere...  he really thought he was going to have his cake and eat it too.  I smushed that idea!

    (Though normally I don';t like to withhold sex, but it was funny this morning considering the circumstances).
