To want to actually punch DH in the face?

Angry For slurping his tea and giving it the almighty "ahhh" once hes taken the loudest swallow.
I could literally reach over and slap it out if his hands.

Please share equally annoying moments your DH's regularly do, so I feel less the angry housewife. Grin sniggers

DH moaning that his finger hurts from our new DD sucking it....has he seen my cracked and bleeding nipples!!! (Which are thankfully much better now I have the latch sorted).

Oh, and his really painful paper cut?!? Fuck off!! I've just had a head rip open my vag!!

I could have punched him.

The title was always going to upset some posters with some justification.

sebsmummy1 · 25/01/2014 10:24

OP you could have put *lighthearted in the thread title and you still would have been inundated with POs. It's how they like to spend their time, that and writing to the Letters page of their local newspaper.

Nombrechanger · 25/01/2014 10:30

ProfessorSkullyMental - I think they're trying to brush their Tracheas!!

They obviously didn't get the memo!

JupiterGentlefly · 25/01/2014 10:33

Ffs first we have macdonaldgate in aibu being likened to child abuse.. now this furore over what is clearly lighthearted. Fuck me!

Anyway my ex used to dribble mayonnaise on his chin and not notice. Made me want to puke.

BlueGoddess · 25/01/2014 10:33

Sniffs - I'm with Copper on that one!

It gets to the point where I ask 'can I get you a tissue?', and he says 'no, why would I need one?'

Just ARRGGGHHHHHH

redshifter · 25/01/2014 10:39

DH chews yoghurt! How can you chew yoghurt

This made laugh. Reminded me of an ex who used to do the same. I don't know why but it irritated me so much.

I actually wanted to kick her in the fanjo.

GoldenGytha · 25/01/2014 10:41

It's not being joyless to point out that the title is offensive,

I was also punched and hit by XH, it's not funny to try and joke about it.

I get that the OP isn't really going to punch her DH, and that she means it in a lighthearted way, but others posters are so right that the responses would be very different if this was a man posting about his DW.

Mumsnet is a great site, but the double standards are too much at times.

notnowImreading · 25/01/2014 10:46

I once posted that I was ready to smack my mother over the cupcakes on a wedding forum. I got 200 - two HUNDRED - replies telling me how lucky I was to have a mum and that their mums were dead.

So, just to pay it forward, you're lucky to have a husband OP - lots of people would give their right arms to have a husband and then it would be difficult to punch them unless they got good with their left arm.

sheriffofnottingham · 25/01/2014 10:51

So glad it's not just my DP that does the toothbrush gagging. I genuinely worry that he's doing himself some damage. Has anyone witnessed what it is they do to provoke this reaction? (Neither of us think visitors whilst you're in the bathroom is acceptable)

WowserBowser · 25/01/2014 10:54

My mum is dead! Stop rampaging around upsetting people!

Do i need to put after that? Confused.

sebsmummy1 · 25/01/2014 10:54

This reminds me a little of CBB last night (yep I watch it lol). Where Louisa was justifying being an outspoken woman by saying as nauseum ' I have a right to an opinion, I have the right to state my opinion. I have strong opinions and that is why people have a problem with me etc' and Sam very quietly said ' we all have opinions but you don't always have to voice them'.

Sometimes I think it would be ok to read an opening post, roll your eyes and click onto the next thread.

Ledkr · 25/01/2014 10:56

I've been a victim of dv too but I knew the op was joking.
Di sine people literally sit there waiting for something they can get all sanctimonious about?
This is why so many people have left mumsnet, it's become overrun by pedants with no sense of humour.

GoldenGytha · 25/01/2014 11:07

That's unfair Ledkr

Nothing wrong with my sense of humour, but joking about DV is offensive to me, and to many others.

No, I don't sit and wait for something to get sanctimonious about, but why can some people not get that this is a delicate subject for some.

Suelford · 25/01/2014 11:22

Thread title: "To want to actually punch DW in the face?"
Majority response: "How dare you joke about that?" "DV is no laughing matter" "This attitude really makes me worry for your DW" "Don't you know a lot of posters on here have actually been victims of DV?"

Thread title: "To want to actually punch DH in the face?"
Majority response: "Haha me too!" "Kick him in the balls!" "Oh here come the PO brigade" "It was obviously a joke" "Some people look for offense in anything"

GoldenGytha · 25/01/2014 11:25

Exactly Suelford

Well said,

If the title had been the former, the responses would have been very different.

mothergothel2 · 25/01/2014 11:26

God Suelford, don't you know its pedants like you that are driving people away from mumsnet?

redshifter · 25/01/2014 11:29

Well I agree with suelford

Weelady77 · 25/01/2014 11:30

I agree with suelford!

Monetbyhimself · 25/01/2014 11:33
