Dh drives me insane with this,he is physically incapable of looking for anything and before making/looking for/doing anything must say "have we got"
and has just said it about bread!!!
When the hell we wouldnt have bread i really dont know but thats besides the point anyway because he knows where the bread bin is anyway.
When doing the washing "have we got fabric conditioner"? eerrr have a look?
when helping dd2 dress after a bath "has she got any pants" eerr yes a draw full,just go and get some.
He has also just come into the lounge and said "is there anything else on" to what is on tv at which point i just handed him the remote whilst thinking yes probably as there are hundreds of channels on this tv!
I do love him to bits and this thread is slightly toungue in cheek,but he needs to stop looking for me to have a part in everything that goes on in this house!>>disclaimer

DH said to me yesterday "I think the chicken is burning".
Me - did you take it out of the oven?
Him - no
Me - why not?
Him - I wasn't sure whether it was cooked or not.
Me - I want a divorce Shall I do it then?

We frequently have this conversation about milk

I hate milk it is gloopy vile gross stuff and it would never cross my doorstep if I had my way.

OH drinks bloody gallons of the stuff

But when we?re in the supermarket he will still turn and ask me how much milk have we got. I now give him ?the look? ® and walk away, though I do like Hilda?s idea

?Smells do we have any milk no but we have several bags of lentils dearest?

DH prides himself on travelling light and not wasting a minute of the day.
He is the bloke at the park who wanders up to you looking a bit lost asking if you could let him have a few nappy wipes/a nappy/a bag to put dirty stuff in/a snack/a drink, etc.

He would rather be late for most things than early for everything.

He outwardly despises organisation but inside his soul writhes with agonny over hits parasetic nature.

Before me and DP moved in together, we were both with our parents... and inevitably if he'd been at mine for the weekend, I would await "the call".

He'd get home, text or call "i've left blah in yours, can you find it please?" me "OK"... me and my mother would chuckle for approx 20 minutes about his crappy habit... then a text/call would arrive "it's ok, stop looking, I found it in our spare room/on the table/in my bag".

I told him eventually that me and my mum would only start looking after 20 minutes had elapsed. So 99% of the time, we never had to look Grin

Now, when the inevitable questions arise as described by EVERYONE above, I either answer with "so that's my job then", "have you looked", "probably" (he hates that) or if it's a statement about a task my response is usually incorporating " so if I want something done you'll do it when you're ready, when YOU want something done, it gets done NOW?!" He also hates that response.

Today I had a text stating that WE need to organise for lunches better. I suggested what we could have, he didn't like and was going to look later.... later ended up too late, so he took a crappy noodle thing to work, and I bought on the way in! Clearly MY fault Wink

ONE day he'll learn about the rolling shopping list, and the loo roll, and the kitchen roll, and he left his keys where he left them, like the penguin wrapper... toddler hands open, item discarded on nearest surface and "i'm finished".

I even do that toddler face/action to him, which he laughs about now... it is getting mildly better..... isn't it??!

Currently PG with DC1.... please let it get better
