Cranky Husband driving me nuts.

Tweet

My husband is driving me insane. We have been doing a lot of heavy garden maintenance this week and we put up fences etc. He is the brawn and I am the brains. I do all the planning etc as he is hopeless at anything DIY when it comes to his knowledge and he agrees with me about that. I am the one with all the DIY knowledge and skill. I am not physically strong enough to do a lot of the stuff but I can help and tell him how to do things and that's how we work.. .BUT even though he knows I am right when I say do a certain thing this way or that way he still argues with me all the way. Sometimes I just give up and tell him to do it himself and walk away from him as he gets very cross and shouts a lot. He will then do it wrong and we end up having to undo it and re do it right. This has been going on for years but its usually only one job so only a few hours we have to co operate. We have never spent this amount of time ( almost a week) working together and I really want to give him a bang of a hammer. His crankiness and attitude made the job twice as hard and twice as long as it could have been. He is also very untidy working. At more than one stage last week he tripped over stuff he left lying around and he spilled over a can of deck paint because he left it sitting on a bench and couldn't see it and put a load of wood up again it. Ruined the whole patio which then had to be all power washed before we could do anything else. It takes me about an hour to tidy up after him after any big job is done. If we had the money to pay someone to do the maintenance Id gladly pay just to not have to work with him ever again. Its all done now bar a bit of painting and I am so glad its over. I don't think I will ever do such a big job with him again. He is a nightmare. I don't know how his co workers stick him. If I was his boss Id have him fired within a few days for his attitude and lack of organisation. Rant over. God it felt good to get that off my chest
