At least he’s trying. My ex put dirty dishes on the shelves once because I forgot to flip the magnet.

I once went over to a guy's house for a dinner date and he decided to cook shrimp.....and got raw shrimp juice EVERYWHERE. I hate being rude but I was so paranoid he'd get it on veggies, the silverware, etc that I took over and kicked him out of the kitchen. The whole time I was also wondering how clean his dishes and silverware actually were.

Nice guy, but never went out with him again after that.

It’s not controlling to expect a grown adult to close food when replacing it in a cabinet or fridge. It’s not controlling to expect consistency with discipline and safety for children.

OMG. Mine too. I asked how he did not notice the CEREAL stuck to the bowl?!!

Ok, here's the thing. You can get things done your way--but you get to do them--or you can let go of things that don't matter much to you--but you have to let him do things his way. In our house, both doing things does not work. He's in charge of dishes. Trash to curb. Lawn kid. I'm in charge of laundry. Grocery. Housekeeper. I have to let the dishes thing go. We are talking about load marathon. Things going in dishwasher that should not go in: melted weird mishapen plastic and cooking pans that no longer have their antistick coating. I do t care. It's great that he makes this contribution and I value the help and don't care that the result is more wasteful and disastrous than if I did it. On the plus side, never known my guy to complain that I screwed up the laundry! ( As if he'd notice?)

How long did you date? He can't have just suddenly become like this. And then you choose to procreate with him!

I feel so sorry for you ladies who just wanted a man...any man to be with you. Oh well, you get what you get.

No he doesn’t have adhd. But he has something. And yes I finally hired a bi-weekly cleaner this year and it is awesome.

I guess he’s just a little slow? If so, he must have been this way since you first met him.

I'm sure he was that way all the time. She just didn't want to believe it. Oh well, he wins because now he has a cleaning service to pick up after him. Time to find another thing to complain about.

Apart from literally dropping and breaking things accidentally in the house constantly, he creates havoc whereever he goes. He has broken things that I didn’t even think were possible to break- like things made of solid metal.

He give the kids a cookie right after I told them they lost their dessert. He lets them watch tv when they have lost their TV privileges. He’s watching the kids, and meanwhile, the kids are making a huge mess and doing things that they shouldn’t be doing while they are supposed to be under his supervision. He starts yelling at the children all willy-nilly. The children regularly get hurt around him, because he lets them do semi dangerous things, or he hurts them accidentally during one of their play fights or throwing them on the bed.

After I run a whole full load of dishes he runs them again because he doesn’t realize they are already clean. After I wash and dry all the sheets and blankets in the house, he will put them in the washer and dryer again because he doesn’t realize they are already clean. And he decides that the bigger the load, the less water you should put in, because that will leave more room for laundry. He will go in the cabinets and the refrigerator and after using whatever he needs to use he will put it back without bothering to close it. So the bread bag is left open and the whole bag of bread ends up getting stale. The newly bought lunch meat and cheese have just been left wide open and so they have gotten all dried up. He throws out important things and then has no recollection of what he has thrown out. He stuffs things in the deep recesses of the attic and basement without telling me, so that I can never find them when I am looking for them.

He leaves a path of food and crumbs wherever he goes as he carries food to the rooms of the house where no food should be. When he decides once a month that he shall cook, he gives all our counters, sinks, drawer and cabinet handles, appliances, a nice coating of raw chicken juice that he limply spreads around with a soggy paper towel, and sometimes I have even discovered an entire drawer filled with chicken juice. When he cleans something, it is sometimes much dirtier and worse off than before he cleaned it.

He does all this with good intentions, but his good intentions are going to send me to the crazy house!!!!

OMG I am LOL-ing so hard. Hilarious.

On a more serious note call his parents and congratulate them on a job poorly done.

Not really. Once the kids are 7 or 8 yo they'll see him for the undependable doofus he is.

I would be serious money that any psychiatrist test would show ADHD Inattentive. So he hyper focused during dating and school, and maybe his joke soaks up whatever brain cells are left for the daily use.

No. That's not what ADHD Inattentive means but I'm sure you could find a psychiatrist to take his money and offer a perscription. Try again.

No kids are smart. They know what a control freak the mother is. The kids will cut her off by the time they are 10. Seen it happen all the time.
