#2 is related and because of his slowness, we are late to everything! Some times I want to tear my hair out and scream. The worst part is that if I do nag, he hurries up incredibly. I think he just likes being nagged. fml

Yes! Why does he take 3 times as long as me to do anything?! He even changes the baby's diaper more slowly! Not a big deal -- we just build in more time -- and he is wonderful (see, changing baby's diaper). It just puzzles me sometimes. A long shower for me is 20 minutes, and I have long hair. He doesn't, yet he can't get out of the shower in less than 30 unless I pound on the door ... and then he still has to shave!

LOL!!! Plus THREE on all counts above, even the diaper changing; even my impatient DD sometimes gets cranky with him when he moves at the pace of a turtle: slow and steady.

That is disgusting.

+2 My DH ain't so bad this morning after reading that. The idea of having to teach a man that would scar me. For life.

It seems like a lot of men move slower. My husband does this too. Why is this!!! It's so annoying!!

It is because they are not the default parent! We women cannot afford the luxury of time.

Oh, I'd kill him. That is just nasty.
