Upset at DH

[WebLady]

I was cleaning the kitchen last night and had some trash to be taken out but it was raining and I didn't want to go outside. So I put the bag out in the garage and I asked him to take it out in the morning (today) when he left for work.

Well, he forgot and I just went out there a bit ago and the bag was covered in ants! So I had to clean all that up before the dogs got into it and got ants all over them.

I am disappointed that DH did do this for me, I mean he leaves out of the garage every morning and had to walk right past it this morning :irked: But I don't want to make a big deal out of it and start a fight or anything. So I am trying to think of a slick sort of funny way to bring it up when he gets home.

FH WOULDNT REMEMBER TO TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE IF IT HAD FIREWORKS COMING OUT OF IT!!!

I feel your pain- i do that i stick it out front on the little step at night and on garbage days- you think it would dawn on him to grab it..


MEN!! they have so little responsibility and they cant remember that :)

Thats why i know women happen to be the stronger sex- guys couldnt handle what we do (FOR THE MOST PART!!!! THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS :) )

In his defense, I would forget my head in the morning if it wasn't attached. I am so frazzeled in the mornings (and I don't even have kids) that I have forgotten to take the trash down. Yeah, i would find a funny way to bring it up to him with out sounding like your bitching at him. Now if he makes it a habit that he forgets every trash day, then I would be a lil upset.

Mine would walk right past it also or step over it if it was in his path he never remembers things like that until I'm doing it.

My Dh gets upset that I keep telling him over and over again to remember to do something. He tells me he will but then it doesn't get done. Mainly the trash. I then had to take it all out and it isn't jsut at the end of my driveway. We have to take it down to the corner. So I had to get kids out to summer camp and had the baby being fussy and I had to deal with the trash too. I called him at work because I was so agravated. All he could say was he was sorry. Well that doesn't help things now. It is not just the trash either. I asked him to make sure he put the fan in my sons room before he went to bed one night. He said he would but did he? NOPE. And he wonders why I get so agravated at him.

My favorite thing is he swears he told me something and he never did and he will say that I dont every remember anything. This happens ALOT. I hate it.

These would be perfect

Do you have time to make a giant paper mache ant and put it under the covers, on his side of the bed? How about fashioning one out of a paper bag & pipe cleaners.

He is working late ... I guess I am just gonna tell him about the ants and maybe that will spark his memory that he was suppose to take it out.

Put a post-it somewhere he will definitely see it... like on the door/doorknob that just says "TRASH :("



Next time you want him to take the trash out, put a post-it on his windshield that says "TRASH" pointing into the car. He won't be able to drive away with a post-it stuck in front of him. That way, he will definitely remember it before he leaves. You can even keep the same one and re-use it every trash day.

This is exactly how mine is too. He tells me over and over that I don't hav to keep telling him to do something, but as soon as I stop, he forgets, therefore if I don't say stuff it doesn't get done. Drives me CRAZY!!

My DH does the same kind of stuff. I'll leave stuff out for him to do and tell him to do it, but he'll never remember unless I leave him a list of things to do. It always has to be written down. If I would of had to do this with my DH, I would of had to put a note on the windshield of the car....but I would have to put it on 2 cars because I wouldn't know which car he was going to take to work that morning. LOL!

My ex used to do that to me all the time. And we don't even have to wait until a special day...we have a dumpster.

Now, the sweet man I'm married to NEVER forgets to take the trash out!! Am I one lucky woman..or what???? I think he remembers how much I used to hate to have to remind the ex to do it...so he just always does it. He will sometimes complain because he thinks I fill it daily!:bbredface:

[TangoWedding]

And always remember to not sweat the small stuff. A bag of trash? Small stuff!

I saw somewhere not long ago a list of marriage duties. The answer to the question "who will take the garbage out?" was "whoever sees it needs taking out." It made me say "ahhhhh!"

:grinhappy:

oh gosh when DH does not do something I ask him to do it gets on my last nerve. I get soo upset I always end up doing it myself and just letting it slide, its not worth it, but i totally know where you are coming from!:irked:

[rainbowtreat]

I dont think any of us get realy mad about him not taking out the trash it is jsut that when you ask him and he says he will but DOESN'T and it happens over and over. That gets kinda tiring.

[Doglover]

My DH does that too. Walks right past stuff and doesn't take it out or throw it away. MEN UHHH!!!!!
