Post weekend rant

Anonymous
I need to let off some steam after another weekend with my husband home. He’s the definition of a bull in a China shop in our house. And this is what I deal with every day when he’s home.

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!!!!

Does he have ADHD? Do you have a house cleaner?

LOL I'm sorry but that's hilarious. I deem this the 'chicken juice thread'.

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

Whatever. I bet the kids want to hangout with him. Stop being a control freak and enjoy the moments...they go by too fast.

Sounds like ADD.

Sounds seriously mentally damaged. I don’t know how you got yourself into this and procreated with him. Ugh. Good luck.

OP, I can relate. I have a lovely husband that is amazing socially - everyone is drawn to him - but OMG how it possible that he can't tell a clean load of laundry from a dirty one? At least he does laundry???

The household division of labor from our parents' and grandparents' generation made some sense.

Can we please stop the "does he have ADHD?" bullshit line? It's getting tired. It's as tired as "I'm fat because of my hormones" and "If your DW won't have sex with you, then you need to help clean up and take care of the kids". None of those responses are helpful at all. Sometimes it's best not to comment at all.

No. Controlling behavior is what sends you to the crazy house.
