GOSH!! I hate when you do that.. !!!

[Carefree_Dude]

Nice to meet ya! I guess the fact that I have to go to costco every week for my business, I have made it in and out of costco in about 8-10 min flat. That is....I go when the lines are short. Any weekdays before about 1pm and right before they close at about 7:45pm.

You'll make someone a good wife someday.


Her and I are just close friends, and we decided to get away together for a weekend. She also needed groceries, so decided to go there for groceries. she bought a couple months worth of groceries because she doesn't go to Kansas City too often. She's Vegan and just "Has" to eat "organic" foods, so she says she cant shop anywhere else.

Shes a very spoiled woman. Her ex-fiance now roomate buys her crap all the time, and pays for trips for her to california and such.

Hey, we are supposed to complain here, not just give opinions on the last post! Ok! I hate when my husband goes grocery shopping. He spends almost $200.00 at Pick'nSave or Sentry. Lucky if he fills up the fridge and half of freezer and cupboards! I go to Aldi's and get over twice as much sh*t for less than $100.00, and get all our meats at Piggly Wiggly that are way less than where he goes. And when he shops, THERE'S NO COOKIES, CHIPS, ICE CREAM, and he always forgets the shampoo, body wash products, etc. (And NO, I don't ever ask him to buy feminen products, or to 'hold my purse'!)

Another thing she does that drives me nuts is that she would rather be late getting somewhere than get there on time without her makeup on. And she takes a good hour to apply it. She looks fine without it though.

Oh, and there is the whole, "complaining she doesn't have any money" while at anthropology and buying 200 dollars worth of clothes of the clearance rack that she will never wear, and then going to dillards at the chanel counter and buying 35 dollar things of lip gloss that look exactly like the 2 or 3 she already has in her purse.

When I make something to eat and offer her something she always says no. But when I go for a snack later to finish it off, she's eaten it. Get's me so annoyed, I'll be getting all excited coming down the stairs grab a plate and..."DARN IT!"

Also, I am a movie buff, she can't shut up when a movie is on and picks it apart from beginning to end. It's to the point I have to hide when I'm watching a movie if its something I really wanna see, lol.
-But I know she's just trying to make me laugh

And my biggest gripe is coke cans and balled up papertowels left everywhere. I don't even drink coke but when I get home and see 3 cans on the counter, 1 on the kitchen table, 1 on the end table and even 1 in the bathroom and they are all half full with random papertowels peppered through-out the house...lets just say that has been the start of some arguments.

Hate it when my husband TELLS the kids to do something, and makes a threatening remark along with it, and thinks it's going to make them listen better. And then of coarse they don't listen because he never follows through on his threats, and they are tired of being "ordered around" - instead of being asked to do something NICELY. (He has a lot of CONTROL issues!)

All of this is hilarious!! Although, it probably has to do with how she was raised.. you'll break her in evenually.. I hope..

I think all men have this issue... no not really, but a lot of them do.... With the approach I take, I get much better responses.. and that would be asking nicely and making it sound super interesting...

I think as far as children go every child is different and responds in different ways. I don't make idle threats either, but if I were to ask any of my four boys to do something nicely and make it sound interesting they would just laugh!!! But, they are use to my style of parentling/discipline. I am military so I guess that has a lot to do with how things go around the house.

My wife is not military and has never been affiliated with them besides me and sees things similar to what you are saying. What we have done is kinda merge our ideas together (I'm a little nicer, she is a little tougher).

I'm not saying what you are suggesting is wrong, but when it comes to kids they are all different and you can't generalize a parenting a style to work for all!!

my son can reach up on the counters and grab things now

my wife always forget to put her drinks and other things out of his reach and he is always spilling drinks all over himself and the floor.

she'll get all mad and i'll tell her don't be mad at him, it's your own fault

Hey! Erica, you forgot to complain ! ? I hate it when he can see I'm busy, reading the back of the Seachem bottle, trying to figure out dosage, or reading a reciepe,etc., and he just starts talking to me about some thng that's not even important, like which meat in the fridge do I wanna use up first, when everything in fridge was bought on same day so it don't matter!, but now I have to loose my chain of thought on how many buckets I'm doing for which tank and how much dosage is for it.....and he sees that I'm frustrated and puffing out a large breathe, and he laughs and thinks he's being funny!Really want to do this to him... not real hard though, just wanna knock some sense into his brain!

he's probably doing it on purpose, I know I do.
