"Having a GRAND time - The Official GF Chat Thread"

[mandymommy4]

OK so about the annoying things our DH do:

First let me brag: DH is an awesome father and husband. He is very unselfish and does so much with the kids. I get to get away from the house every month for a girls night out and he needs no instruction. I married a older man and boy do I love my old man!

Mine snores like an animal. Seriously bad and I loose a lot of sleep over it. I send him to the couch often but we have a small house and it's not that far away and on bad nights it does not matter where he's at! My Dsis had an adjoining room when we stayed at the GF and I slept in her room!

He also comes in the house and strips down to his undershirt and boxers And leaves the clothes were they fell! I have tried to explain to him that I am teaching the kids all day long to put things back where they belong and then they see there father do this

If he does the Dishes once, give the man a medal! But if work super hard and the house looks show room quality when he walks in, nothing. But if I relax a little and the house is less than perfect then I get the " so, what did you do all day" I am not a fussy woman but if I'm gonna cook, clean, pay the bills, nurture his children, and educate them at least say thank you every now an then! Geez

That's it I'm done ranting I do love my DH dearly and I'm sure he could rant about me too!

Ladies I am doing the Happy dance big time!

DD2 has started going pee pee in the potty! She just turned 2 in March and since Feb has hated diapers, she would pee and then rip if off. She has started ripping her diaper off from under her clothes and running around without one and then peeing on the floor! I seriously duct tapped her diaper one day! We have tried potty training and nothing so I let off. Yesterday she came running up to me with out any pants on and said "potty" so I but her on the potty and she peed! She did that twice yesterday and now 4 times today Whoo HOO! I just had to share! This girl is gonna be diaper free soon! I have been buying diapers since 2002 with no breaks, at one point we even had 3 in diapers! I'm not sure how Luv's is gonna stay in business or how I am going to go to the store, my walmart auto pilot is set to the diaper aisle!

SleepingUgly - I love your screen name! That is hilarious!

That is a great feeling when you don't have to buy diapers anymore! Just think with all the money you will be saving! I also married an older man that snores and stripes down to his underwear! I was laughing so hard when I read that! He actually had the sleep apnea surgery and it did very little and the recovery was HORRIBLE! I do not recommend it to anyone over 30...

That is awesome!! But keep it low key for now... We thought we had DS potty trained at 2 years 5 months and they he put the breaks on for a good 3 months or so

DS was the same way, we thought he was gonna get trained and then nope he decided not to. But when he did it was literally over night! He just woke up one day and told me he had to go potty and never had an accident again! My oldest DD was not too bad but my DD3 was a dream! She was potty trained at 22 months, same thing as DS over night and not a single accident. People were shocked to see this tiny thing go to the potty and we had the hardest time finding undies that would stay up on her b/c she was so tiny. I hope this is for good but if not then at least we are getting closer! This does mean that I officially no longer have any babies!

My fiance is another snore strip down to underwear. He leaves his clothes right next to the laundry basket, but NEVER puts anything in it

My "favorite" habit of his though is putting empty containers back in the pantry or refirgerator. Last night, I went to get some icecream. There was nothing left in the container! He always does this if it is a box with individual containers inside . He says he "doesen't notice" that he took the last one

DH is guilty of both!!!!

Ladies my fave kids show is on right now "Yo Gabba Gabba" we love that show especial the Scary episode with Leslie Hall....... I'm off to watch YO Gabb with the kids cause i'm a cool mom like that !

 

[SleepingUgly]

Oh, I thought of another one! How about when he is finished at the bathroom sink, it looks like a St. Bernard had just taken a bath there. Water, water EVERYWHERE! Seriously, it's like the great flood occurred in that one spot.

But truthfully -- he really is a good hubby. Makes dinner most nights, does the dishes, does the laundry (even folds the clothes and puts them away, which is why our girls' clothes always gets mixed up in each other's drawers and closets ), gives the kids their baths, picks up kids from school most nights since I work until 7 pm or later, etc. I really can't complain. Well, at least not on a regular basis.

So, ladies -- 'fess up ... If our husband had to complain about us, what would it be? What are your disturbing little habits?

Too funny!!! Well DS and I got into a battle of wills when he was 2 years 9 months and I made him sit on it until he peed (I know, BAD MOMMY!!!) He sat for 45 minutes but finally gave up and that was the end of it!! He went right back into underwear the very next day and never looked back (He was the same way about walking- waited until he was 16 months to even attempt it and stopped crawling the very next day )

He is almost 5 now and is about 44 inches tall and all of 38 pounds (soaking wet!!!) so I hear ya about trying to find underwear! That was when we made the jump to Gymbo undies since they seem to run smaller... (can I even say undies when I am talking about a boy? )

He sounds like he could be my kid! My 5-year-old (who will turn 6 this month) is about 45 inches tall and is 40 pounds. My 8-year-old (who will turn 9 next month) is about 50 inches tall and weighs 50 pounds (after a big meal). They are like walking sticks (or chopsticks, since I am Chinese ) My older daughter can still fit into size 5 shorts. In fact, the other day, I noticed the shirt under her school jumper was a bit tight, and I asked her what was wrong with it. She said nothing, it fit just fine. That night, I checked -- she had worn her sister's size FOUR shirt to school. And did not even notice. She is so freakin' skinny. Those genes obviously did not come from me ...

I'm perfect. He even says so - so I must be. I am modest, too.

Umm.. I talk about WDW 24 hours a day

OK...that's probably my ONE fault, too.

Mandy - that is GREAT NEWS!!!!!

Hey, all - don't forget the WDW Royal Treatment show is on TVC tonight!!!

 

[vbarry]

That is 1 my husband would say. FOR sure!

He would then say it takes to darn long for me to get ready to go anywhere. I am never anywhere on time, I shop too much , obessive planner, spend too much money. Hey..this list could go on and on.

We are VERY happily married but do tend to bicker. Our friends say it is our foreplay. (did I just say that...naughty

Tall & Skinny runs on my side of the family (specifically my Dad's side of the family). I am 5'9" 130 pounds (but I think we have already established that I work my tail off for that ) and DH is 6'3" and 185 pounds. DS needs to wear size 5 pants for the length, but I need to get them in slims and they still have to have the adjustable waist tabe so I can cinch the heck out them! His shorts for this summer are size 4, but still need that tab for cinching!! Bathing suits (which are cinchless) are a size 3 or size 4 depending on the waistband

Hey, all - don't forget the WDW Royal Treatment show is on TVC tonight!!!

Can I be honest and say I am not that into this one I am SO past the weddng stage and there will be no vow renewal in my future so I guess I don't care...(No offense to ANY of our Disney Brides of course!!!)
