I love my DH but...

Lighthearted

So I give DH the task of removing the tags of all the new Christmas decs whilst I fiddle about with some garlands.

I’ve then moved a load out baubles out my way and noticed the string is missing on one. So I asked him which bag it came out of so I can find it and re attach it. He was like oh it didn’t come with string.

I look at the other 10 baubles and see all of them don’t have a hanging string, even though I know we bought them like that???

He’s only gone n cut the string off all the baubles to remove the tags! And he’s cut though both sides of the loop so the strings arnt even salvageable!

I asked him how did he think they would hang on the tree, and it honestly didn't even occur to him bless him. He's 33.

He's now gone to Tesco to buy silver ribbon, n that best come with a pot of Ben n Jerry's phish food icecream!

What has your dh done where you could literally strangle them sometimes?

He honestly thought the string was to attach the barcode tag to the bauble, rather than it needs to hang on the tree

Sorry, andpeggy1 that is really funny, I have this image on my head of your husband methodically snipping through all the strings thinking he is doing such a wonderful job.

I'm sure both dh and I have done some equally daft things in our time, I'll come back when I remember them. Enjoy the Ben & Jerry's!

If he comes home with Phish food, forgive him
Instantly! It's the best flavour. To be fare I thought baubles need hooks attaching.

I did that once

What an absolute balloon

However, not as bad as my friend whose wife did this to his Tag Heuer watch! Just snipped through it when opening the packaging.

That watch I bet there were a few choice words in that house afterwards!

In our house it's generally me that does the daft things rather than dh. A few years ago I made a gingerbread house at Christmas and on Boxing Day we decided to break it up and eat it. I used a small hammer to do so but accidentally missed the house and hit our brand new solid wood table and dented it. Ooops

Actually just laughed out loud at this 😂. The other day I asked oh to put the sandpit away. He put the lid on and left all the toys for pit on the floor...

And I asked him to change the bed sheets.. So he changed the bed sheet.. Not the duvet or the pillows. He really just does the literal thing I asked him 😭

My husband did that one year! Thankfully I saw him and stopped him after the first bauble.

Mind you I have been known to just change three bottom sheet and leave the rest to manage a bit longer..

I once came home to find my df had attached dds nappy with sellotape, and a lot of it he’d just got the roll and gone round and round several times, they come from a cloth nappy generation and I was potty trained/timed early cos dm couldn’t do the nappy very well. So when they took the nappy out of the packet they snipped off the tags 😂

We always take the strings off baubles, they look far nicer hooked onto the tree directly and it keeps them closer under the branches.

I bought a special expensive Christmas tree decoration other day for my dd. It's stuffed felt and had string sewn in that also had the tag on. Cut the whole thing off and fiddled for ages getting the stuck bits of string out thinking I was being super careful for once. I'm such an idiot!
