Just come home and my husband?

teeth hoover

The Match? I'd match him alright. Pick up the toys and rattle him over the head with them. There's too many men occupying their time with watching football.

Married

That sound so familiar. Enjoy your kids and family it could be so worst.

Unless your husband is bringing your marriage down in other ways I think you are just stressed out. You probably will not believe it. I've been there, done it, wore the tee shirt. At the time you think you are always right. If you get things in to perspective you will realise this is no big deal and the fact you have a healthy, lively toddler and a loving husband is something to be so thankful for. However, if you are feeling stressed and a bit low nothing makes it feel alright. If little things like this are annoying you try a visit to your GP, you are not going to be put on drugs for life etc but it should help. Again if there are lots of undercurrents within your marriage it could be that you are coping with too much and it's in relation to your marriage you are needing help and support with. Good luck.

Switch

haha....you should thrown the toys at him.

wilfeistykitten2003

that sounds pretty typical. It sounds like he let your toddler entertain himself so that he wasn't bothered while the show was on. While you were picking up the toys I would've turned off the tv and simply told him that seeing that you allowed our child to make this mess it is only right that you help pick it up too.

Yes, and all of my friends do to. Maybe not that blatant, but men definitely have a mechanism to shut off the surrounding world and be able to concentrate on any game at hand. I suppose it's a nice skill to have, but women aren't wired that way, hence we wake up most of the time when the kids are sick, see the mess that no one else is going to pick up except you the mom. Whenever I go out I pay for it when I get back by having to clean the house. I have a great husband, just not a "neat" husband. He does pick up the house, but seems to get distracted.

Some wise lady who had an incredibly happy marriage once told me... "Don't sweat the small stuff". I am still learning to do that, but it has helped me. Love life, live life, and just enjoy the early years where there are still toys to be picked up.

Tabbie

He's a man - what else can we expect lol. Probably similar age mentally to your son lol. (Espeically when the football is on!!!)

Nutty Girl

yes ,and even if i wasn't in i'd probably get moaned at !
i really wish there was some sport i loved that he hated to see how he was when i ignored everyone and screamed house down

tersey562

Oh yes. Sometimes I have an appointment or something and won't get home until after my daughter's bedtime. When I do get home no matter how late she'll either still be up or she just fell asleep from watching tv in bed with my husband. And then the next morning when she is cranky and doesn't want to get up for school he's hollering about it (when it is his fault)!!!!

PeachPie

well kids should be able to have some fun, as well as husbands. stop being a mean mommy and wife.

No one is going to DIE if the house is a mess

dad

I'm a single dad i have a 4 year old and i cant keep up with him but it gives him something to do . He should help pick it up being that he was the one that let the little one get it all out.

Gary L

You interrupted FOOTBALL?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peggy C

Hey I was in the laundry room the other night, after working 10 hours at work for 75 min Washing drying and Ironing before My Hubby knew I was out of the room....

rebel

sack him,or show him a yellow card.

gypsy

Take the fuse out of the television plug when there is a match on !

No...we have structure in our home....I have 3 boys and its a home where we are constantly running in and out with our busy schedules but, you need order. It's great for your three year old to be so active and learning and playing but your husband needs to supervise alittle more and let alone help you out.....You shouldn't be the one running to pick up the mess. Teach your three year old how to put things away as well. They are never too young to pick up a toy here and there and put it away...you or your husband can even do it with him/or her.......

suzlaa1971

I was engaged to someone who was like that, and trust me, I didn't spend any time cleaning it up; they were his kids, and I was furious....he eventually cleaned them up; but the engagement didn't last...he was too selfish and bossy =)

Mary O

You have to put the toys where he cannot get them and only give him a few he really likes to play with and when he is done make him put them away.

beverley

i know how pissed off you are, my man does the same thing. when the match is on, nothing else matters.and your left putting all the toys away no solotion im afraid, but i do relate to what your going thro. MEN huh !! Grrrrrrrr

luckford2004

Ithought this was normal. It's always been like this.

anthentherwasi

well dads are known to be more fun than moms so he was being a typical dad

Kate T

Start teaching your son that you have to pick up after himself... he is old enough to comprehend that & time out works .

Wobbly

My husband looked after the house and our three year old for one day because I had to go out for a day. When I got back (at 4pm), some curtains weren't even open, toys everywhere, nothing washed up blah blah you get the drift.

And he says that I sit on my bum and watch Jeremy Kyle all day (wouldn't mind so much but I can't stand that sort of programme!). I *think* he's joking!

Kailey

lol - you just described any normal day in the life of couples with toddlers! Next time, tell your husband to help you pick them up, or just sit down and wait for him to kick one of the toys acrossed the room on accident. It really isn't that big of a deal!

By the way - it would've been a good thing for you to have your 3 year old help you pick them up. He is old enough to help - and it was his mess.

Christopher

nope.

CLARE D

i think you need to get rid of some toys, don't stress too much about toys being about thats what happens when you have kids.

fluffyduck84

my partner sounds exactly the same! i find it especially frustrating when i ask him to do something while im out (wash the dishes) and when i come bk there still there! an when i go out to start doing them he says "oh i was just about to do them" aarrggghhhhhh!!!! meanwhile the rest of the house looks like a bombs hit it!

pamela g

spank him and send him to bed.

i mean your husband.

rt1290
