I love my DH very much but why does he...?

[PavlovtheCat]

Put laundry next to the laundry bin not in it.
Take toothpaste and brush out of holder, uses then puts on the side next to the holder, not in it.
Use shower gel/shampoo from the bathroom tidy and but it on the side next to the bathroom tidy, not in it.
Take off DDs nappy/pjs in the hallway and leaves them there.
Open his sock drawer fully so it hangs out, and then not close it when he has finished (same with all drawers and cupboard doors).
Leave the bath water in the bath when he has finished.
Leave spilt water over the bathroom floor.
Not make the bed when gets up after me (most of the time).

AAAAAAARGH.

Feel free to add your own

DH doesn't do most of these to be fair. He doesn't however seem to be capable of putting away casserole dishes or cake tins even though emptying the dishwasher in this house has been his job for the last seven years. And if he does put a casserole dish away he can't understand my fairly basic sysem which is 4 piles - 1 each of square, rectangle, circle and oval and so they all overbalance.

He doesn't wipe up the crumbs after making his sandwiches.

He's not that bad really, is he?

do the washing up by running things through cold water? I have tried explaining that you need hot water and washing up liquid but it falls on deaf ears.

Good thread!
How about leaves sections of Sunday papers liberally scattered around the house, never folded up always open.
Moves the pile of clean clothes I have left on the bed, (for him to put away) onto the floor, so they get all mixed with his dirty clothes on the floor and eventually I put them away.
When I try and ask him something he will omit a grunt if I am lucky or just totally ignore me.
Farts under the bedcovers.
Never unloads the dishwasher, and puts dirty plates etc in on top of the clean ones.
When I ask him to help with housework, his stock response is " If you don't like doing it get a cleaner, and anyway I do my fair share because I do all the DIY".... er he has been 'decorating the hall' for over 12 months, and never cleans up when he has finished his so caled DIY leaving dust, ladders, nails etc everywhere.
Still love him dearly, and realise he will never change! nagging just does not work!!

This is all so true! My DH does most of these things. Used to get upset over this but have now realised that he doesn't really do these things on purpose so just have to live with it or turn into a nagging wife. Some things (however annoying) just aren't worth arguing about. Subtle training over a few years is a better option (11 yrs and still training - it's a slow process). Here is my list:
Puts dishes on top of dishwasher
Shakes wet hands on the laminate flooring
Puts dirty laundry on top of bin
Doesn't rearrange throws on sofa
Leaves empty envelopes on the side
Doesn't make the bed
Has piles of clothes, letters, etc everywhere and then accuses me of being untidy!
Leaves crumbs on worktop
Remembers that he did all of the night feeds when ds was little (he did none!)
Had 'flu?' during my labour and kept diverting midwife's attention to him - they actually fetched him paracetamol and water during late labour stages!
Early-post baby days when visitors came around and asked how I was - he would reply Oh, I'm feeling a bit better now!
Tells everybody that he is really tidy.
AAAAH!!!! (Still love him though!)
