Very difficult, to make me understand my husband. My husband has always wanted, I did not make mistakes. I am also hard to make the list. Because, much work is sometimes unpredictable.

Everyone can be so forgotten. But we must keep moving. I and my wife often forget many things. And we learn that too much forgetting will be dangerous (in some event, I ever forget that I still boil water, til the water dry; fortunately there is no fire). So, we learn that we must prepare everything, and if necessary make a list what we will do. Every morning, before I go to work, I always check all, the ID,wallet, etc. So I will not forget. Wishing your husband helps you also. I think it is not wise to be just angry and yelling.

I always try my best, not to forget all my duties. But, what happens outside of my control.

Your husband being overly critical of you is what is causing this. Does he ever compliment you on anything?

You are not stupid. You are human and we all make mistakes. If your husband want to tantrum sweetie, tell him next time he can do all the things you do each day. That ought to make him realize that you are not a machine.

Hai friend...We all are human beings so we will forget the things some times... I am not a house wife....Just 18 now...But Even some times,I forget the important matters...And my mom will scold me...I remembers that only on that time....I don't know that what's wrong with me...So there is nothing to worry about forgetting things...It's usual....So be happy...And try to remember that by making a small note, you can remember very serious matters... Thank you....

Do not allow any man to call you stupid! You don't need him or anyone who calls you names. You are above that and you deserve more than that. It is no big deal that you forgot this as everyone forgets often. If my husband called me stupid, I would tell him that I was only stupid for putting up with him.

Hi Indahfth, You are NOT stupid just because you forgot something or did something wrong. You are simply human. We ALL do things like that from time to time. I will say that if someone is there to yell at you and call you stupid at every little mistake, that often will cause a person to make more mistakes because they are more focused on not upsetting the critic than what they are doing. Gosh, your husband would be yelling at me all the time if he had to put up with all my screw ups!

Hon, you aren't getting it. You WILL make mistakes. You are human and we all do things like that. I make so many many mistakes it isn't even funny. I get frustrated with myself but I also don't have someone over my back telling me that I'm stupid and making me feel bad for these mistakes. I think your husband is wrong to be so harsh with you. I am sure that he makes his own share of mistakes but you are too kind to point them out to him or maybe you are feeling so bad about your own mistakes that you aren't noticing his. You deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Why do you put up with his insults and anger?

Hi Indah, hope you don't feels sad and stupid. It is usual that not everyone of us are born perfectly. Hope your hubby understand and don't scolded you a lot. When there are too many things in hand to complete in our daily life, it is usual that we tends to forget certain thing. Hopefully, the meat that you had forgotten to put in the fridge, is not eaten by cats. Do you mean, your area have lots of stray cats? So, better be careful the next time you buy meat again. Remember to put it in a safe place before you are out from your home.

and this man is super human , never makes m istakes, does n ot forget his duties, he must be a God then. I d o not care what your husband says as that does not make it true. you know this in your heart, he is too angry and thats wrong, you are a human not a machine ask him if he wants to live with a perfect machine that will do all but bow to him, he needs to get some lessons in managing his temper. If he does not like mistakes ask him then why he loses his temper and is nasty and mean to you as thats a huge error on his part. I thought Indian m en respected their wives so he is lacking respect, shame on him;. thats a much worse error than any of yours.

Don't feel overly down about this. We all make mistakes and forget things at time. We have so much on our plates as wife/mother. If our husbands tried to do all the things that we do they would forget things at times. I think that they don't realize this because we at times make things look easy. But if they tried to do all the things we have to do and remember I'm sure they would forget something. They have to be understanding we don't expect perfection from them and they shouldn't expect it from us.

Well I hope that you are able to do better so that way you will not feel so bad. And your husband will not be so upset. Yes we all make mistakes unfortunately some people think that we should be perfect and not make any but that isn't possible.

Hi friend, Don't feel bad about what had you done. I believe all human being is not perfect and mistakes done had its reasons why it happened. I also do some mistakes and I dont blame my self. What I do is to think what are the possible hindrances that happened before the mistake done. I do observe my behavior and please don't pity yourself. Be strong!

hi you are nmot stupid you are just human ask your perfect G od husband if he is really perfect and has never made an error.you may be his wife but you are not his servant to be yelled at and made to feel worthless. fight back tell him to cool his temper. You know you do not deserve his treatment. tell him if he is that angry you can just pack up and let him wait on himself.

Your not stupid, no one is perfect and we all do stupid things. I've done that before put meat in the pantry instead by accident, namely because the check out person put it the wrong bag. It was not with the cold stuff.

indahfth I think your husband is partly to blame if he is snarling and angry all the time as that would unnerve me and make me forget things. tell him he is not perfect. look he is a human being not God and is a pt to make errors too.Why must you a gro wn wo man ask permission from your husband he is not G od but just a lowly man. I know you must be In India but surely women are respected in India are they not? I am in the Us and when my husband was alive I told him where i was going but no my 'god I never asked permission as I am an adu lt woman., this is wrong and he should control his temper and not make nasty remarks about you. he also makes errors and do you get upset of c ourse not. look have some self esteem, you are not his slave but his wife there is a big difference.why must you people leave food out to spoil use your refrigerator as meat will not keep outside a refrigerator.

What you did was an honest...and very human....mistake. I think that we have all done that at some point or another in our lives. I have to tell you, just last month ago, I bought frozen meals for my husband. He had specifically asked me to pick them up for his lunches at work. When I got home, I took some other things into the house, and answered my ringing phone. When I got off the phone, I left my house again to pick up the kids from school. When we got home, I went into the house and cooked supper, helped the kids with homework, and got them off to bed. The next morning, I went about my day as normal. This continued for several days. I completely forgot about the frozen meals I had bought for my husband until many days later. By then, they were all spoiled, and all that money was wasted. I felt horrible. My husband wasn't thrilled, but in the end, he understood that what happened was no more than an honest and human mistake. We all make mistakes in life. Please don't beat yourself up for something that you did by accident.

Presence of mind is very important in everything we do. I can understand what happened to you lately because that also happens to me. I forget to do very vital things sometimes. It is good to always write down everything to remind us of important matters.

I ever write down important things, I should do, but sometimes does not help. Because, sometimes there is something unexpected, which makes me forget that I made notes.
