Married ladies, I have a question, re:husbands

[Bashful2]

Wow, I'm really the odd one. I don't like using the phone so, not only does DH make his own appointments, he usually makes mine too.

I know! I don't mind making appointments for my DH, but there are more than enough times that he makes them for me too. I just go through these phases where I don't want to talk on the phone. Period. Yes, it's odd, but you and I can be odd together.

 

[wdwfan16]

I make most of his. I know our schedule better than he does. He will make them but then ask me is X day at Y time ok?

 

[R and C's momma]

Since I maintain our family calendar I typically make 90% of the appointments for people and pets unless DH's MD need is of a personal nature then he calls himself. He will make all the calls/appointments for car maintenance, house repairs or improvements and things of that nature. We're a good team

[hereyago]

when I was married: I would have him make his own appointments, I wasn't into being a secretary.

Plus I am the type of person who believes both partners should be able to do stuff on their own, know about account info,etc so if somethng should happen to the other partner, the first partner wouldn't be at a loss about numbers, accounts.

DH makes his own doctor and dentist appiontments, but odd as it sounds, I usually make the ones for his car.

 

[Silent1CB]

Do you make appts for your hubby? Doctors, Dentists, etc? or do they do that kind of stuff for themselves?

Doctors: himself
Car: I do because I take the car for him. He takes mine that day. I do not work outside the home so its easier for me to take the car than it is for him.

His work schedule is too crazy for me to be making appts for him. Only he would know if he could go or not.

I do have to keep after him though until he calls because he gets to busy during the day & forgets. I also remind him of when his appt is. lol

 

[Donaldswife]

No, I do not make my husband's appointments for him. He is a grown man for goodness sake! If he wants a personal assistant he can hire one.

 

[hellokitty86]

I'm the odd one here.

I make most, if not all, of DH's appointments.

I'm also a wife that packs for DH when we go on vacation.

How funny. We are the complete opposite. My DH always makes our appointments. I hate talking on the phone too so its easier for us. He has no problem doing it, although the office staff at the Dr's office always comments how they aren't used to the husbands calling. DH packs for me when we go on vacation too. I get everything together but he is the better packer. He can fit alot more in a suitcase than I can! It works for us.

We are equal on all other house work though.

 

[MickeyCrazedMom]

I make all appointments for him and sometimes he is standing right next to me when I do it! Not really sure why it happened that way - but now it's habit. I guess I care more than he does!

I started packing for him early on because we went to his dads for a few days and all he brought was a tshirt. No toothbrush, or change of clothes. His response was that he was hanging out in the woods, who cares? Well buddy you have a wife now, so I care! It has taken 15 years for me to clean him up and make him presentable. Seriously though, he would just throw things in a bag and get to Disney with no matching clothes and no underwear if I didn't do it for him. I don't really mind, because I like knowing that things are done the way that I want them.

 

[JessicaR]

I make appointments for the family.

 

[flamingglobessigmund]

He makes his own appointments.

 

[Buckalew11]

I do not make any appointments for DH. He makes and keeps up with his own.

I also do not pack for him.

I see nothing wrong with couples who have an agreement to do this type thing but we just handle our own appointments and packing.

 

[lacrosse_lady72]

Lol, DFiance and I aren't even married yet but I make a lot of his appointments. I know his schedule more than I know my own because mine changes a lot. He likes to have appointment when I would otherwise be at work or at school so there isn't any together time wasted.

I really don't mind though. I recently had to have a lot of work done on my truck and he took care of ALL of that crap.

And if we go somewhere, I usually pack and he unpacks. It's a good balance that works for us.

I see nothing wrong with it either if it works for your family, but I do honestly have to say that I would feel like he is another child, and not my partner, if I did those simple things for him. I like knowing that he can handle his own life his own way and I don't have to think about it. I know I would be much less attracted to him if I felt I needed to tend to him like a child and do everything for him. I know other people feel differently about this type of thing, and I truly am not criticizing, but that is just how I would feel.

 

[Disney Doll]

He makes appointments for himself. I have no idea what his schedule could be from day to day as he is in real estate.

If there were something seriously wrong, I would certainly be available to go with him to any appointment. But for his "normal" stuff (physical, dental cleaning etc.) he handles that on his own.

 

[NAB]

I make the doctors appoinments because I know that number off by heart because of the kids. He tells me when he wants it I call, no problem takes a few minutes.

Dentist he makes his own because it is usually made right after he see's the dentist.

He really doesn't have any other appointments.

 

[blanq]

DH makes his own appointments (hair cuts, doctor, dentist, etc.). He handles maintenance on both our cars, so makes the appointments for those. I make the tax preparer appointment, because having our taxes done is one of my "jobs". Other appointments, like for furnace/duct cleaning, carpet cleaning, tree trimming, pest control, furniture delivery etc. we talk about ahead of time and one of us volunteers to do it...sometimes it's him and sometimes it's me. Generally, the person who is going to be home to deal with it makes the call for the appointment.

 

[cats7494]

I am the family calendar and make all of the appoints for the kids and our pets. DH makes his own appointments.

For other things, like car maintenance, lawn care, taxes, etc..we discuss and either one of us will call depending on who has the time.

Interesting question!
