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

Sneezes until he blows his nose. In practice this means he can sit on his arse and sneeze 20 times before I threaten to punch his lights out if he doesn't drag his sorry sneezing arse to the nearest tissue box .

tiredoldmum · 25/01/2014 12:31

Makes these annoying popping sounds and eeeee sounds with his mouth. Fake sneezes extremely loud. Constant farting.

Well sometimes I want to throttle DS but I bloody don't - are you going to get MNHQ to send SS round for having 'bad thoughts'.

Under law you have to prove the intention and action of committing a 'crime' this is easiest explained as the difference between murder and manslaughter.

Many of us use terms of expression that we 'think' but we ^do not actually^ feel compelled to do as we have inhibitory control, that some people unfortunately for their victims do not have.

Do come off it, it is obvious the word punch used in this context is not an indication of DV. It is so obviously an OTT response for something that grinds the OP and is used to indicate just how much it grinds her.

I could say 'I punched my way through the crowds' does that make me a DV abuser.

I want to punch my wife in the ovaries every time she brings home new shit we don't need but "looks good"

SarahBumBarer · 25/01/2014 12:49

the thread title is "to want to actually punch DH in the face. Where precisely is the context in that?

I opened expecting a serious thread where he had done something heinous.

It can be intimidating and abusive to verbalise desire to commit violence.

Urgh - mashing and dunking his cereal round and round his bowl until it is a heap of soggy sludge. The constant turning and pushing of cornflakes into the milk makes me get very cross.

And then the near-death experience he had when he bent the top of his fingernail backwards.

MrRected · 25/01/2014 12:56

That's a bit OTT.

Somersetlady · 25/01/2014 13:00

How about Mumsnet starts a topic area entitled easily offended or over sensitive or maybe even lacking sense of humour and all those who aren't able to grasp when people are not being serious congregate there?

LadyBeagleEyes · 25/01/2014 13:01

Who was shouted down itsnotthateasy Confused?
This is a discussion forum where we all can agree or disagree, I haven't seen any cunty posts except yours.
And yes, I think it's ridiculous to have to put lighthearted in the title, read the post first and make your own decision.
No one should have to be told.

LeBearPolar · 25/01/2014 13:22

But it is a fair point about double standards on MN.

And true that any man posting that he wanted to actually punch his wife in the face for anything, no matter how lighthearted, would have been flamed.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 25/01/2014 13:46

Yes but the double standards work both ways don't they?

A woman saying she hit her husband is likely to be asked questions about why, what happened, the situation surrounding it, why she felt that was the only option at the time, was it a little slap or did she mean to hurt him, advice on what to do to help.
If a man posted he had slapped his wife he would be labelled abusive, the wife would be advised to pack up the children and leave, to call the police etc

If a SAHM posted that she was at the end of her tether, working at home, doing all the housework etc looking after the DCs, and she needed her DH to help when he got home from work she would have the majority of posters being sympathetic to that and advising her.
I saw a thread a while ago where the mother was WOH the DH was a SAHD and he was not doing enough cleaning, just looking after the DCs. She was told to tell him that it was his job, that it wasn't fair she had to come home from work and clean up, she should just be able to spend time with the DCs in the evening, not have to cook a meal or wash up.

Double standards everywhere.

Custardo · 25/01/2014 13:47

dear op

you should kick him in teh cunt

HTH

VampyreofTimeandMemory · 25/01/2014 14:07

if dp said he wanted to punch me in the face because i was slurping i would laugh because i feel the same.

Shitehawke · 25/01/2014 14:25

I punched a cake, then with the cake still on my fist I punched my DH.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 25/01/2014 14:45

Agree with Ledkr, stop it, you're derailing threads for no reason. You can easily backspace out of them if they offend you. Or report them - and let MNHQ gently remind you of the same.

I'm intrigued at the 'tea chewing' although I have a husband who seems to 'sloosh' it around like a mouthwash and I can't say that it makes my heart pitter-patter for him either... Shock

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 25/01/2014 14:48

Euphemia... yy to the boiled sweet. Why? Why do they do this? Annoying clattery noises and unnecessary dental treatment.

LividofLondon · 25/01/2014 14:51

"my dh gags when brushing his teeth...wtf are they doing?"

I have a very sensitive gag reflex when brushing my teeth and sometimes gag just brushing the molars Blush I'm honestly not even touching my throat so I have no idea why it's so sensitive Confused

Weelady77 · 25/01/2014 15:01

Euphemia and lying I don't eat boiled sweets now cause when I was young I got a slap for crunching them from my mum nana and auntie Grin this really really irritated them!!

JenBehavingBadly · 25/01/2014 15:02

It's all forms of abuse. The punching of DH and the massive pissing on people's chips that followed on.

MrsSteptoe · 25/01/2014 15:03

Inhales a yogurt and apparently tries to eat the teaspoon, going by the noise of it clattering against his teeth. Makes me want to take the teaspoon and bend it like a hairclip.

TantrumsAndBalloons · 25/01/2014 15:05

My DH bites down on a spoon when he is eating youghurt or soup. WTAF are you biting?

I threatened to stick the spoon up his nose if he carried on with it.
