with the complaining about talking and the complaining about everything else ;)
My biggest pet peeve ever. My husband. His calling me constantly from work. It's not so bad that he calls me all the time (OK, yes it is soooo annoying!!!) but it's that he actually expects me to give him my undivided attention.
What about taking care of three children ages 4 and under leads him to believe I can give anyone my undivided attention??
When I talk to my mom on the phone it goes like this
Ok, so I'm making...GET DOWN FROM THERE!...cheesy potatoes again and...I SAID GET DOWN NOW!! NO YOU CAN'T HAVE OREOS RIGHT NOW...I know I call every time, I can't ever remember how much...LEAVE YOUR SISTER ALONE!!...sour cream to put in...
And it seems that I'm always holding the baby and have Little Man on the potty needing a wipe, as the dogs are barking madly at a big truck that just went by...
Whenever anything else is going on when I'm on the phone with the huz, it ticks him off. And I just don't understand how he can't understand that I have to take care of what's going on when it's going on!!
The stupid thing is that he calls all the time and wants to talk for a half an hour and has got nothing to say. It's so aggravating! I wish he had a job that occupied all his time.
The other day, he was filling me in on all the drama that's been going on at work, so I had to listen and respond attentively... so I leave the kids in the living room (the 2 and 4 year old pushing each other off a stool and the baby having a screaming fit in the playpen)...2 minutes later Baby Sister fell onto the stool nose first. Of course I had to let him go, and he was pissed. WTF?? If I didn't go take care of her what would he have said? What does he expect?
Sometimes I wonder if men have any brains at all ;)

They hate that they have to share us with the children lol. I have one of those too...calls from work and wants to chat forever when I'm busy doing other things...it is very annoying!
I agree. The men, sometimes they just don't like to share. Deep breaths!
Haha. I work with someone who calls his wife like, every ten minutes. It's insane, because a) it takes him away from his work, leaving more for us and b) I can't imagine his wife being thrilled to hear from him constantly! We always say to each other, wow do you think she gets sick of hearing from him all day day long?
