Why can't my husband just understand???


UGH. I am getting so freaking aggravated. I just want things DONE. He seems to think its not important and we have all the time in the world, and that it'll get done when it gets done. Who cares if baby arrives first or not?

He just doesn't understand how I feel. I try to explain and he just rolls his freaking eyes and then I want to punch him!

He put my older son's bunk bed together a couple weeks ago, but he never quite finished the last few little pieces. I waited and waited, but he never did it.... so I FINISHED it today. He moved the crib into our room, but never finished moving the mattress up for me or putting it into place - SO I FINISHED it.

He tiled our house before CHRISTMAS but left about 20 sq ft undone. Its STILL NOT F-ING done and I want it done NOW. I CAN'T FINISH that. I want it done before baby arrives. We will be having company and I want my house done! Not to mention I don't want a new baby in a house thats under construction and tile work makes a MESS - even if it IS just a little bit- it makes DUST EVERYWHERE! I think he's just tryin to drive me freaking nuts!

We still need mattresses for DS's bunks... he says it can wait. I don't have enough of my OWN money, or I'd just go buy them myself! He has the money right now - but - its not a priority. Right now DS sleeps with ME. I really want to give him some time in his own room to get adjusted before the new baby comes... time is running out! DH says "who you kidding - you know they are both gonna be in the bed with you!". Um - not if I can get him into his own room NOW! But yea - if you make me wait - that probably WILL be what happens!

I'm so annoyed.

Again no advice. Unfortunately Dan is the same!
I decorated the nursery weeks ago, (including putting together a cabin bed, sorting through loads of toys/clothes, re arranging all the furniture etc) he STILL hasn't finished painting the bit by the ceiling i couldn't reach.
I arranged, sorted through, folded and put away all of Amelia's baby clothes ready to sell, he STILL hasnt put them on Ebay (i don't have an account!)
GRR!! men!! I have now wrote a list of about 18 things that he needs to do in his 2 weeks holiday at the end of March! Just hope bubs doesn't come before then or we wont be ready for him! :S

Ok..I am so totally going through the same thing..First, realize that you are nesting like a mad woman, as am I, and you need things done right, and just the way you want them..Normal!! Healthy! Our hubbies, well, they might not get that..Try explaining that you are nesting, trying to get this stuff done, and you don't want to nag at him at all...But, this would really make you feel better going into birth if this stuff is done...
We bought a new dishwasher a couple of months ago, and it needs to be leveled as it leaks from the front..I asked my hubby, yesterday, if he would do this..I told him I really hate to nag, but did he have any plans of fixing it because it's just driving me crazy...He will probably get it done today...

Men are so dense. I'm having the opposite problem with mine.. there are things he wants done that I don't see as a priority, like straightening out our closet and random things that have nothing to do with baby. The doctor told us on Thursday that the baby will likely be here in the next 2 weeks so now DH is driving me completely *insane* by calling me literally every 10 minutes when he's out working or running errands. I really want to just toss my phone out the window because I'm sick of hearing it ring.

I have got the total opposite with my oh. Im trying to go through things and make sure we put everything where it needs to be, all he wants to do is rush rush rush on getting everything done yesterday. Although when you try telling him we need money to do these things and we gotta wait till the roof has been sorted before using the attick, he is in such denial lol. He never used to be like this, but for some reason he has gone like it now.

is this his first? my OH only started move around in the last couple weeks - finished the kitchen, almost finished baby's room (we're planning today) etc. Just tell him you think your waters are leaking that might put things into perspective a bit
