Why does my spouse insist upon doing his things (reading, studying, working, etc) in the middle of the living room, then shushing everyone every 5 minutes for an hour? YOU HAVE AN OFFICE! Use it! You have a reading nook in the bedroom! Use it! Kids play and people run vacuum cleaners in the living room. Don't shush us!

Why does everything MH do take infinitely more time than if anyone else does it. I swear it takes him 5 minutes to put jelly on a piece of toast. OMG yes.

DH will sometimes not be in the mood to socialize, but instead of going away will just be wherever we are on his phone and act pissy whenever anyone talks to him. So much fun...

Is there like a physical reason why men take 8 million years to poop? Is it some kind of biological problem they have? Because my husband is legitimately shocked when I take less than 10 minutes in the bathroom, and usually that's because I'm taking my time for some peace and quiet. Are men all just playing us, or do they all need more fiber?

Drama, I wonder that too.
A doesn't take that long, really; but definitely longer than me. I don't get it.

I've heard it's because they don't have the muscles to push babies out like women do. I ask mh all the time why he can't just wait till it's ready to come and then go push it out. It's like they have to wait for it to fall out. I also wonder how long it would actually take if he didn't have his phone with him...

Guys. I have to put this somewhere. This past spring, my boss obsessively cleared the undergrowth from a tree. He was so excited that in the fall, he would get to see this dogwood in full glory. "But that's a crabapple, not a dogwood," I said. "Nope, I feel pretty sure it's a dogwood," he said. "Hmm, I don't think so, but okay," I said. Cut to: fall:

Dramaphile I wonder the same thing all the time! Like, when I have to go, it takes the same amount of time as if I'm peeing. I often feel like putting mirilax in MH's water and seeing what happens.

I just wish I understood why DH has to poop THE second we get home from somewhere (and I need help with the kids) but then it takes an hour. If you have to go that bad, why does it take so long? And how come I can hold it until the work is done and he can't?

Did you know that most of the time when guys poop, they don't pee too? I guess it's about the way their muscles down there are structured. Really? Bc MH was just wondering the other day why kids can't seem to pee when they poop. So I feel like he does. Or maybe it's during the same bathroom break, but not actually at the exact same time. Either way, dudes need to learn to poop faster.

Why do my kids take an hour to eat absolutely anything?
3 course meal, one hour. Pop tart, one hour. A single grape? One hour.
For Pete's sake, just EAT!

Samesies,yo. my child mostly waits until I am done eating and then decides to eat her own food veeeerrryyyy sloowwwly. And gets pissed if I try to take it away too soon, and also demands waffles and bananas and cereal as soon as she is done. It's exhausting.

Hmmm mine take three bites and declare all done and run off. Then the baby declares all done cuz the big ones playing something. Then they fight and I have to get up. I'd kill for an hour long leisurely meal. Not at breakfast tho.

I'd kill for an hour long leisurely meal. Not at breakfast tho. Oh haha. Don't get me wrong. There is absolutely nothing "leisurely" about. It's filled with screaming, dropping forks, crying, shooting dirty looks across the table, spilling milk, singing at the top of their lungs, and literally, every other bite, "please stop xyz-ing and eat your food. Please take a bite. Please just eat." Then three warnings to eat their food. Then a time out for something or another. Then crying Bc they have been at the table for an hour, I have declared mealtime over, and now they are suddenly starving. There are no winners when it comes to mealtime with kids.

Working with seniors for the past 5 years, I can completely appreciate a good poo talk lol. I'm currently trying to break my husband of thinking it's the grossest thing ever to check your poop before you flush. Dude, that shit (literally) can tell you so much about your health!
