[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 333085, member: 1233"] husband's can be real pains sometimes. My dad is the WORST. In many ways he is great. Truly a loving, caring man. He does NOT do housework unless it is his idea. At that time a female is supposed to get everything set up so that he can do it. If he is going to grill out then Mom or I (if I am over there) must get the meat ready, prepare all sides, clean off the picnic table or the stuff he plopped onto the table. He will carry the meat out and MAYBE bring that plate inside. If he brings it in he puts it on the table and not near the sink, ALL he does is cook the meat, but he expects praise for every facet of the meal. It is annoying. He also has what I call a "garbage can memory". Annoyingly he passed it to me. Various and sundry factoids stick. they NEVER go away if they get stuck in there. NEVER. He wanders about spouting random factoids at whomever is there. You are expected to listen and remember - for me at least there is a quiz. I am supposed to remember all the stuff he spouts off about. All day. My mother cannot keep a train of thought. Ever. He wanders into the room and spouts off and spouts about something. Whatever. It is very hard to do anything with that going on. Sending those factoids out and expecting you to remember them means you must stop what you are doing to pay attention to him. If you do not remember then he gets upset and his feelings get hurt. It is just obnoxious. husband's can be a real PITA. [/QUOTE]
