But.....why not leave it empty? I don't get it.

Because when the bath is full it is heavier and therefore sinks so the sealant needs to be done at this point. I am sure ours wasn't left full for 3 days though.

Personally I would not have thrown out the yorkshire puds.

Neena28 · 12/10/2006 12:19

Full so that the seal doesn't break once you fill the bath ie weight of person and water would make the bath sink a bit lower.

Mine's crap too...we've been using the shower in the ensuite for storing clothes (we haven't got a loft and have another shower in the main bathroom) as the shower door hadn't arrived. He decided to test that the shower still worked without removing the bags of clothes. Yep sure enough the shower is in perfect working order and all the clothes are wet and smelly (he told me three weeks after he'd done it) ARGHHHHH

Gobbledispook · 12/10/2006 12:20

No I'd have put the puds back in the freezer

Correct about bath - not sure it has to be 3 days though

See, lazy husbands that don't lift a finger or do any jobs around the house are actually less stressful!! DHs everywhere will be thrilled.

Good a DH moaning thread - I am pissy and tired today after waiting for DH to get home from a night out last night - he text at 11.07 to say he would be 20 minutes as was in a cab with 2 of his mates and at 12.10 when he wasn't home I started panicking - I seriously considered calling the police, the partners of the men he was with to see if they had got home and then on my last try of his phone which I must have rung 20 times he picked up told me he was stuck the other side of the Blackwall Tunnel and was asleep and I had woken him up - I am fuming - bloody idiot - went straight to bed and slept like a log and smelt of bloody beer and indian food and fags - I am soooo tired and cross with him!!!

Overnight is sufficient for the full bath bit.

Am I the only one who thinks, ah, bless him, at least he tried?

My dh knows where the washing machine and dishwasher are but has never used them, he cooks Christmas dinner and other glory meals, but no other meals, he has a vague idea of where ds's school is but no one would recognise him if he ever went there, and basically, anything outside of his office building is my responsibility. He got an electrician in last week to change a lightbulb in the kitchen. Yes, seriously. It was a slightly tricky halogen one, tho.

I was moaning on here last night as well about my DH and his inability to do certain things - like phone the school/takeaway/my mum/his mum/his work etc. i have to do it all. He only seems to get petrol when i'm with him, so i can get out and go and pay - i actually think he has forgotten his pin number and that's why!
He can work the washing machine if i leave really clear instructions;-
Sort the clothes, making sure there is nothing black, red etc in with whites or light coloureds.
If it is your work shirts, turn the dial to number 5, the temperature dial to number 50 and switch on the red button!
he still doesn't do it right.

theUrbanDryad · 13/10/2006 15:54

my Dh claims he "can't" hoover. i mean, who can't hoover? it's not like it's difficult.

mind you, i can't write javascript or html (not that they're things i need to do on a regular basis, but still...)

bluejelly · 13/10/2006 16:02

Was about to say well at least you have someone who is trying to help around the house ( i live alone with my dp) but then read about the man who pissed the bed...
Sometimes I love being single mum

he shouldn't have pissed the bed then, should he???

greenday · 13/10/2006 18:25

Can I add my dh's moron act of the week - I went into a shop while he went into the another next door. He had our dd who was sleeping in her pram. I left my bag hanging on the pram handle since I knew he would be with dd.
I retuned to the other shop and he had just been browsing upstairs, having left pram and my bag downstairs by the entrance!! I couldn't believe it. He said that he asked the sales assistant to help look after pram and bag!! I thought staff would help to look after dd, but at least he could have taken my bag with him. Am I being unreasonable or is he moronic?

divastrop · 13/10/2006 20:37

i overheard 2 dads in the nursery playground the other day,one was saying to the other(though about what,i dont know)'the idea is if u do it really badly,she wont ask you to do it again' and they both laughed.
its a conspiracy,they know that in this day and age they should do stuff around the house etc,but deep down they feel its not their place.

greenday-i have had words with my 8 yr old ds for abandoning my bag on dd2's pushchair outside a shop...i didnt think a grown man would do that!

JennyLee · 13/10/2006 21:24

lol at this thread!

greenday · 14/10/2006 10:58

Omigod! I think you're right, its all one big conspiracy. It makes so much sense though .. and here we are, thinking they're morons but I think they're the ones with the last laugh. Sigh ...
