To be annoyed by this conversation?

[VoteyMcVoteFace]

Talked to DH on the phone this lunchtime, I said I was going to vote after doing x, y and z. He said, oh so we're not going together then? I said no, unless we take the kids with us we'll just have to fit it in separately. OK, he says, I'll just stop on my way home tonight then. All fine.

So he gets home and the conversation goes as follows:

Him "Have you voted yet?"
Me "Yes . . . we had that conversation earlier"
Him "What time does the polling station close?"
Me "Usually 9pm I think"
Him "Oh OK, plenty time, so I'll just head down to the church hall then?"
Me: "No . . . you need to go to the Town Hall"
HIm: "Oh. Where's the Town Hall?"
Me: "On Avenue Road"
Him: 'Where's Avenue Road?"
Me (cross) "Are you seriously telling me you don't know where the Town Hall or Avenue Road is? You drive past it twice a day"

AIBU to be a bit cross that he can't a. listen to and recall a conversation from only 4 hours earlier and b. have enough within him to just know these things, or find out for himself, instead of just relying on me to give the answers? It's like it's not important enough for him to know, he'll just ask me because it's easier. He thinks I'm completely unreasonable to even be slightly cross, he asked me because he doesn't know and it's easier to ask me and so what am I getting pissy about? Grrrr.

But I wish i had the time to feel the need to write a post like yours OP!
I have a full time job and two small children. Supper has been cooked, said children bathed and put to bed, kitchen has been tidied, dishwasher stacked, laundry hung up, clothes laid out for tomorrow. It is 9.30 p.m. and I am sure I should be checking my work email and putting in another hour or two like I do almost every night of the week or reading some self-improving work of literature (or a self-help guide to marital harmony perhaps) but no, I am posting shit on Mumsnet; it doesn't necessarily mean I have nothing better to do, it's just a bit of light relief!

Worra I think you are probably correct.

it was then easier to ask you where it is, rather than look it up.

I agree but I think the difference would be if the DH had said 'Oh the Town Hall, that's the one on Avenue Road isn't it?'

We got half way to the polling station when DH said 'where are we going?' DH has no concept of direction, street names and where anything it. It drives me to distraction.

My DH is clueless about directions.

He's lived here 15 years and he still goes to turn left off the driveway, to go to the local shop (in the other direction).

We hired a caravan last year. The camp shop was 2 minutes away and me and the kids sat laughing, as we looked out the window and saw him pass the caravan 3 times, whilst clutching a pint of milk to his chest and looking worried.

I told DS to go out and rescue him. He said "In a minute Mum. I'm busy recording this for Snapchat"

There was a thread on here last week about a husband asking stupid questions, like opening the fridge, 'do we need milk', and waiting for wife to say; and any issue relating to children.

you are not alone

YANBU.

I can see why it's irritating but yabu to let it bother you.

Dh didn't have a clue where our polling station was despite biking by twice a day. I had to give him direct directions. Didn't bother me

I've just told him I posted this on Mumsnet and that the general consensus was that IABU. He was very pleased. Then brought me cheese and crackers and a glass of wine.

That's never a bad thing

YANBU! Look at the other thread and you will see that.

My DH is the same. Yesterday I had a conversation about DS's diving lesson and time and around DH's finishing time for work, I said if he finished work on time he would be home. Today I texted him asking if he was finishing on time as I was feeling crappy (usually if I'm feeling crappy he will make sure to be back so he can take DS to activities) he texted half an hour after his finishing time to say he was leaving and what time was DS's lesson. I'd like to say it's a one off so isn't annoying but it isn't and it is!

I'd dread to think what it would be like if I didn't constantly have all the information for everything we do.

We live on the same road as our polling station.

It's a 3 storey huge brown building, 5 doors away from our house.

We have voted there since we moved here 6 years ago.

Dp still came home tonight and asked me where he has to go to vote. He drives past it also twice a day, has walked past it and stopped to lt ds climb on the wall and walk along it, yet when i pointed this out he had "forgotten". Too lazy to think for himself... thats his excuse !

That other thread won't load for me

No me neither
