If you praise him for something, he dines out on it for weeks!! And there's no way I'd get a cleaner past him, you'd think we were destitute the way he obsesses about our budget!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369839 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:39:17 +0000 Mae 1369839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm if you asked him the most ridiculous thing I make him do it would be washing his hands constantly when we cook together. I'm a total germ-phobe when it comes to raw meat and I make him wash his hands every single time he touches it for even a second before he can touch anything else. Or like, if it is sitting on a plate and he moves the plate, he has to wash his hands. He thinks I'm nuts… I think I'm just health conscious :) </p> <p>I'd say maybe the most ridiculous thing is that I can't stand touching the garbage cans (again-- germs). I don't take the bag out, ever. He always has to take all the trash out. And even if I have something not dirty that I want to go in the outside trash can (for example if I am getting rid of a shirt that has holes in it) I give it to him to take out because I refuse to touch the lid of the outside trash can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369830 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:37:11 +0000 psw27 1369830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with @mrs. taco, anything with nail clipping freaks me out. He has to shut the bathroom door and run the faucet. Same with flossing. Barf barf barf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369811 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:30:59 +0000 mrs. wagon 1369811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awww... you guys are all awesome, but unfortunately very few of these things are actually RIDICULOUS!! Like making a man leave a room to finish his snack!!! ;) </p> <p>That being said... hugs to everyone for manning (and/or womanning?) up and letting me know I'm not the only ridiculous one out there ;) Aaaand we all have a bunch of pretty good SO's to put up with us, right? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369792 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:25:14 +0000 babycanuck 1369792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I...purposely leave the dishwasher full and clean until he empties it. I also leave vacuuming to him. He criticizes me when I do it do I just leave it for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369757 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:13:06 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1369757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: DH sleeps A LOT &amp; he gets "in trouble" for going to bed before me because I have trouble sleeping without cuddles. I have only gone to bed before him one time while pregnant because I just couldn't hang lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369690 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:00:42 +0000 LulaBee 1369690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH comes to bed when I do because I can't fall asleep if I know he's in the other room doing something. What is wrong with me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369338 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 08:28:44 +0000 Rockies11 1369338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Hahahaha - mine's exactly the same way. If I try and "make" him do something, he acts like a belligerent little kid and like I am his mean mom. I just thank him and encourage him when he does something helpful and pay our house cleaner to do the rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369305 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 08:12:38 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1369305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: haha you would think...sometimes when I make dinner I have a certain way I planned for the food to go &amp; I feel like he isn't getting the full effect if he doesn't do it like that. Luckily for him, this results in me making his plate for him on the regular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369293 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 08:07:34 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1369293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: @Dandelion: My husband is ridiculously bullheaded and I literally can't make him do anything. But I'm a little stubborn myself and flat out refuse to touch the trash, for example. He doesn't mind it. As for the diapers, I'm not sure how that happened actually. It used to be a joke about training DD to only poop when he's home. But now it just kind of became his expertise. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369285 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 08:01:24 +0000 Dandelion 1369285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: How does someone plate their dinner wrong? Shouldn't he just be able to have it how he likes it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369265 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 07:51:07 +0000 Dandelion 1369265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Me either...I can't make my DH do anything...I can't even think of anything that I've tried to make him do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369248 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 07:41:04 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1369248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He changes all poopy diapers whenever he's home. He's also in charge of emptying the diaper bin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369180 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 05:09:03 +0000 Cherrybee 1369180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do some of you ladies get away with this stuff???! I wouldn't have a chance with my DH.... he absolutely didn't buy the "bathroom cleaners are bad for the baby" line when I was pregnant and refused to accept that my picking up the dog poop was a risk! I have asked him to consider an anti snore mouth guard (his snoring wakes me and the baby sometimes) but he refused (and goes in a mood whenever I mention it!). </p> <p>I guess my answer is that I can't *make* my DH do anything!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369110 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:58:50 +0000 MaisyMay 1369110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: DH and I keep each other company when the other one showers. </p> <p>DH does the laundry, dishes, and takes out the garbage. I know that I am a little spoiled, but I do the grocery shopping and cleaning, plus I work the longer days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1369041 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 00:05:07 +0000 googly-eyes 1369041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think the trash/chores are ridiculous!</p> <p>I know there have to be some ridiculous ones I ask dh to do but I can't think of them right now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1368341 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 19:29:14 +0000 MrsADS 1368341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He has to close the bathroom door if he's brushing or flossing his teeth, and rinse/wipe the sink afterward. I have a major mouth gross out thing, so I don't like to see or hear it. So weird!! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1368251 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 18:39:42 +0000 petunia354 1368251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ALV91711: @mrskc: Trash abandoners unite!!

Most things that involve ladders, because I'm terrified to be on one. Getting things off of the top shelf in the cupboards because I can't reach and are too lazy to find the step stool? He thinks that's kind of silly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do/page/2#post-1367962 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:44:39 +0000 mrskc 1367962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: I do the same thing! I leave the trash at the door for him to take out. I even leave poopy diapers on the freezer in the garage (it's right by the door) and he throws them out when he gets home. Lol! </p> <p>@lilyann: Hehe I can see myself doing this. I already told him I can't do the dishes because it makes me gag (partly true). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do#post-1367960 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:43:54 +0000 prettylizy 1367960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bring me a McFlurry every night when he comes home from the gym....... no shame here right?! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do#post-1367955 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:40:44 +0000 MamaMoose 1367955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wash my car. I'm scared of car washes... I can't get the car wheel to go into the track thing and I have a panic attack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do#post-1367950 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:39:08 +0000 loveisstrange 1367950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spider killing, but I don't think that's too ridiculous. I kill all the other bugs because he hates them, I just can't handle spiders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do#post-1367945 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:37:32 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1367945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: ha that's cute. My wife sometimes does that to me when she's in the bath. And I get to hear all her crazy police stories from her day. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do#post-1367931 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:32:01 +0000 MrsKoala 1367931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only thing he has to do is kill spiders. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do#post-1367912 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:27:03 +0000 luckypenny 1367912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make him sit in the bathroom with me when I shower. I take long showers (especially when I'm pregnant) and I like having someone to talk to! Lol that sounds so needy and high maintenance but as soon as I get in bed at night after my shower I fall asleep so it's really our only chance to talk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do#post-1367887 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:19:32 +0000 IRunForFun 1367887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: I'm trying to figure out how one might click their toenails together. Like, the nails from each foot click together, or the nails on the same foot somehow click together? Either way, doesn't sound pleasant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-ridiculous-thing-you-make-your-so-do#post-1367869 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 16:15:09 +0000 Fronkinzankinsbride 1367869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: aw my wife does those both to me. She took a video of my teeth grinding sounds and it really is a terrifying sound. But I don't think I chew loudly, shes just neurotic. :) </p> <p>I make her clean out any food remnants in the sink. Ugh sink germs make me cringe. Or if there's standing water in the sink I need her to reach in and unplug it. I cannot put my hand in cold dirty dish water. </p> <p>I'm the one that kills the bugs (or humanely remove the spiders) but if its an old crusty dried bug I need her to pick it up. </p>
