How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Men Equals Frustrating?

in Everyday on

They don’t apologise unless they are prompted. I’m not even sure that counts.

Flowers that used to come for no reason at all, those are only for anniversaries now. Don’t dudes know you score major points for flowers for no reason? Once you have been married for more then 10 years, you guys need all the points you can get.

They simply cannot replace the toilet paper roll. It’s against the man code or something.

They must always ask “Is the dishwasher clean?” Huh? Look in it! Is there crap stuck to the plates? Then it is dirty.

Furthermore…if that garbage pail is overflowing and stinks like rotting eggs…be a hero, take it out. Remember the points?

For years they have tried to convince us that golf games take all day. Seriously, I’m not that blonde and der I have played golf before. I know how long that stupid game takes!

It is preferable for stinky underwear to go in the laundry basket. Just sayin.

If your going to swipe you wife’s deodorant, at least pick your man hairs off it before you put it back. Oh yes! I said it!

They snore. Loudly.

Burping, farting, scratching? Seriously? Not so attractive. It would be best if you did that stuff down in your man cave where we can’t see it. Preserve the illusion of man hotness we have in our heads.

Sigh. Good thing they can fix stuff and are seriously cute.

    2. “Once you have been married for more then 10 years, you guys need all the points you can get” love this! Of course, when you are creeping up on 20 years it seems that they aren’t as concerned with that point system anymore.

    3. This list could go on and on and on.

      My husband and his friends use golf as an excuse to drink beer and act stupid (like they need another excuse) so it does take all day.

    7. And it’s funny that they ALL are so alike in these areas! I sometimes just want to scream when hubby asks how the house can get so messy…umm, youre the one with the piles and if you haven’t noticed we have kids…pick up after them sometime…the little things count. Ohhhh….I could write a whole post but then I would be in trouble! 🙂

    8. hi!

      I think it’s their nature to ask about something that is so obvious or maybe they’re just too lazy to look for themselves. My hubby is like that and sometimes it’s irritating! with 3 kids-calling-mom-always + a hubby-that-asks-things-that-are-so-obvious = i just want a disappearing act. hahaha

      and hubbies cannot multitask but i try to teach mine.

      but he’s in-charge of our garbage and replaces toilet roll even putting in the container, vacuums- depends on his mood, and cooks but leaving dirty pots and pans etc.

      farting? well i’m used to it and even the kids thay make fun of it. it’s like a game to them.

      well nobody’s perfect. but we love them inspite of…

      now i’m laughing!

    13. I don’t even get flowers for anniversaries…we are supposed to???
      Snoring…VERY LOUD in this house.
      Farting = Please do not do that and then pull the covers over my head. I never did find that funny or cute.
      Scratching = I’d rip my eyes out if I had to see such a thing.
      Burping = Guilty as charged!

      7 years and he let points go a long long time ago!
