DH *never* does what I need him to do aroudn the house n a timely fashion, unless of course its something HE wants for himself.

I do so love my husband, but that is one trait I wish he'd lose, and pronto.
Last winter we had the hideous problem of MICE in our house. I'm a freak about cleanliness, and I was convinced that they were there because of the nasty rug we had in our playroom that really needed to be pulled up. I asked him to do it 3 TIMES and he ignored me. So when he got home from work he was a little taken aback to see me with a crowbar in my hands, ripping the carpet out of the floor.

Ooooooh, I still get FURIOUS when I think of it.

I also ended up renting a sanding machine and I sanded and refinished the hardwood floors that were underneath. All the while he did nothing and thought it was my problem since I'm a freak about cleaning.
I was just in a tizzy about this two weeks ago, I wish I had something on the boards because I was so upset. We had our annual labor day party, and I was preparing for it. This meant I bought and prepared all the food, cleaned and scrubbed the entire house and patio, painted a sign for out front, made all the centerpieces and did all the decorating. I asked him to do 3 things. One was to go to the liquor store, second was to scrub the upstairs bathroom, and third was to select the music he wanted to play. Came home after 8 hours of running around getting stuff only to find out he had done NOTHING but listen to music all day.

Yup, you heard that right.....he devoted 8 hours to selecting the music he wanted on CD for the party, and that was it. I went into meltdown mode and he high tailed it out of the house to the liquor store. I hate that I have to get that way to get stuff done.
Ahhh, sorry for the vent. Aren't you glad you asked beastlover?
