[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and omg my DH is the same way and it drives me nuts. I just tried some of the suggested responses in this thread and it went about as well as you would expect:

DH: (storms into the room) "Do you know where the light bulbs are?"
Me: "No, did you look for them?"
DH: (already frustrated) "Well I'm not trying to look a million places if you know where they are!"
Me: "Okay, so where have you looked so far?"
DH: (now pissed) "I didn't look anywhere yet, okay?!"
Me: "Okay, well I don't know either"
DH: (Haphazardly rummages through a couple drawers barely looking and storms off)

I can't do this forever. Biding my time until I can leave him.[/quote]

Doing what you did would drive me nuts. Did you actually not know where the lightbulbs were or were you just trying to be nasty to your husband?  Frankly I might not know where the lightbulbs were in my house if someone else u loaded the groceries. Why wouldn’t i ask instead of looking in a million places. [/quote]

I am not the PP but lightbulbs should be in the place they always are. Having an unorganized household is part of the problem but even with an organized household where I 1)ask DH if he wants to organize 2)when he declines and says you know best and I do it and then drag him over to show him where stuff is so he doesnt need to ask me and then 3) still asks me....I am answering where they were when I showed you 3 months ago. Ive done the work now he needs to do some, which includes taking that moment, processing and storing that bit of information, because it is important. If it is not important then why should it be important to me to tell you where the Kleenex are. [/quote]
