I also joke that my husband is ready for the day at noon or 3 hours after he gets up. Whichever is later 😆 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602825 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 19:00:34 +0000 JennyD 2602825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: omg! My husband is the same! I call it his 20 second delay! It makes me crazy! Out 4 yo can repeat herself 5 times before he even acknowledges that she's spoken! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602635 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 13:56:08 +0000 MrsSRS 2602635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>90. Minutes. To make scrambled eggs. Omg. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602562 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 12:51:41 +0000 runnerd 2602562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: hahahahaha... The push part of birth, umm yes, 15min for both kids, so this quote is ringing hilariously true </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602556 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 12:46:22 +0000 Mrs Panda 2602556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, I can relate to everything on here! The pooping, dish washing, cleaning, showering. I'd guess that 90% of our fights relate to him being slow, making us late, etc. it actually makes me feel so much better that it's not just us/him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602482 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 11:25:43 +0000 winter_wonder 2602482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! One of our biggest fights was related to this. When we started making bottles for DD I would be holding her and DH would sloooooowly make a bottle. Meanwhile baby is screaming bloody murder. I told him to hurry it up and that I could make a bottle faster while holding our DD.</p> <p>I know I need to be more patient but it drives me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602473 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 11:14:26 +0000 808love 2602473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: That's such a respectful way you put it! "My husband has his own pace, he can not be rushed." I need to think like that more often.<br /> @misolee: Yes, to the poop.<br /> @ValentineMommy: Me too! I feel normal!<br /> @Andrea: I like that 'accepting' attitude. I'm going to be working at it for decades to come.<br /> @Mrs. Carrot: agh! the irony!! Let her eat!<br /> @pinkb: Humor- yes, please!<br /> @sunny: Oh man, I've never really noticed this before but I think I'll start noticing it now.<br /> @macintosh: What's a tbi? Sorry, I don't know.<br /> His chores are not automatic. I think when he says he spent the day cleaning the house (he's off mid-week), I think he REALLY did spend ALL DAY!! The thing that bugs me daily is doing the dishes slowly. I just want it to be done (without me doing them- hehe) so we can get on with family time. He takes forever. LO and I were watching him for about 10 seconds too long and my mouth hung open with how he did it. We whispered he looked like the sloth (ok, I did) and he turned and gave us a sloth smile and blink.....our conversation still unbeknownst to him. It was hilarious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602315 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 08:52:42 +0000 arosebyany 2602315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I first read this, I thought no not my DH, then I started reading the responses and....yes,yes and yes. Lol</p> <p>@sunny: this! He drives me bat shit crazy when he doesn't respond. I know you heard me!? I'm in your f*ing ear!!!<br /> @misolee: seriously who needs 45 minutes to crap!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602300 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 08:42:59 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2602300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>90 minutes from the time he gets out of bed to the time he finally emerges from the shower. Every day, without fail. Among many many other things. The only thing he ever rushes is our daughter's eating - ironic, since it takes him 2 hours to finish a bowl of cereal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602274 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 08:11:55 +0000 Andrea 2602274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: my dad is the same as my DH so it's funny because my mom always calls to vent about my dad's sloth behavior. I'm like leave him alone. He's almost 70 and not going to change! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602265 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:58:17 +0000 looch 2602265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: see, my father does. If I call him and tell him I have a problem at the house, the guy drops everything and comes over with his toolbox. My husband, on the other hand, will get to it when he gest to it. He will be browsing the internet, doing nothing in particular, but unless he decides he is done, he doesn't care that I have some broken thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602254 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:41:57 +0000 Alivoo01 2602254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is slow in the fact that he's indifferent/non-chalant about stuff. He's never in a hurry to do things and "will get to it later". So annoying!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602251 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:35:38 +0000 pinkb 2602251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I call him the slowest man alive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602246 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:24:04 +0000 macintosh 2602246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But he has a TBI, so it's not entirely his fault. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602237 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 06:49:28 +0000 ValentineMommy 2602237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!!!! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one....I thought maybe there was something wrong with DH lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602227 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 06:26:09 +0000 Andrea 2602227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha!! I just don't think men get the urgency. I like to move around constantly and get everything done quickly. DH is like "it'll get done". I also think of 100 things to do a day. It obviously doesn't take him as long to get "a few" things done. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602220 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 05:50:24 +0000 looch 2602220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my husband has his own pace, he can not be rushed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602190 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:12:55 +0000 misolee 2602190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw something on FB that read, </p> <p>"I've birthed a baby faster than it takes my husband to poop"</p> <p>So true! :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602187 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 00:02:38 +0000 anonysquire 2602187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg!!! Mine!! It's so frustrating!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602184 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 23:22:38 +0000 sunny 2602184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband often takes FOREVER to answer me or acknowledge me when I talk to him. I often think he hasn't heard me because he doesn't answer right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-husband-who-is-a-sloth-not-a-slob#post-2602182 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 23:15:14 +0000 808love 2602182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband does everything sooooo slow. I think I move at least 5X faster than him and sometimes up to 10X depending on what it is. We all joke about it openly now which diffuses the frustration. Watching Zootopia has given us the sloth sense of humor. Anyway...would like some commiseration and/or funny stories at this point. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkQzYyi25sA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkQzYyi25sA</a> </p>
