To think my DH cannot multi task!

[chubbychipmonk]

He's filling our a job application online whilst watching a film in TV!
I suggested that maybe it would require 100 % of his attention and that he would be better at the kitchen table but apparently he can multi task! News to me!

Surely you can't be 100% focused on filling out a job application whilst watching the TV at the same time!??!

As long as he triple checks the application the tv may well be a bit of a discretion

Some job application forms can be very tedious.

Surely ultimate tasking involves doing 3 or more tasks at once?

*ultimate = multi

Joys if I ever saw DH doing 3 or more things at once I think I would die of shock!

I'd be pretty fucked off with my husband if he banished me to the kitchen to fill in a tedious form. Surely your husband is a grown-up who is able to realize whether he's paying enough attention to the task at hand? Are you just a teensy weensy bit patronising?

I've almost always got the TV on in the background while I do things.

I'm much more able to concentrate on reading or writing anything if there's some background noise from radio (talk not music) or TV.

No offence OP but it would be a bit annoying to have someone on my back about something like that, he's not a child. Can't you compromise and say that when he checks them over he does it without the TV?

He's doing it online, it's not even on it in the background. He literally just stopped typing in the middle of a sentence to watch a bit of the film, then went back to typing. How can that be giving something your full attention?

Maybe I'm being patronising but am beginning to think the reason he's filled out so many applications & not got anywhere is because he's half arsed filling out the form while watching TV at the same time!
