Wife - no response I get up and go through to her Wife shouts immediately before I can say anything - "I'm not shouting through to you" Me - leaves room shaking head Wife shouts through - "where are you going?" Me - shouts "Im not shouting through to you" I have stopped trying to communicate that way. She "talks" to me from upstairs. Often starting the conversation downstairs and continuing as she ascends the stairs. Last week I was in the garden when she did it, she was 3 rooms away and expected a conversation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Nosejob Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Once again, her insistence on putting her jeans/pants/socks combo unseparated into the laundry basket has resulted in a pair of denim-speckled white pants. Cue her making another order from M&S with additional items to avoid postage fees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's seeing her pants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just stopped communicating in this situation. Considering rolling that out to the rest of my life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discarded clothes should just be left wherever you take them off. They make their way through the washing and drying process through some sort of osmosis as far as I can tell. I have a magic corner in my bedroom, it's incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week I was in the garden when she did it, she was 3 rooms away and expected a conversation.Almost a guarantee that Mrs P will decide that just as I get in the shower is the ideal time to start a conversation, usually followed a couple of minutes later by her storming into the the bathroom and opening the shower door with "are you even listening to me?!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't hear her. Your fault for not listening. She doesn't hear you. Your fault for not speaking clearly. These are the rules. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Today I stumbled upon a tactic I plan to use more in the future, specifically when she is whining disproportionately about a nothing problem. Today she came and and started on about the way I had parked the car.... to which I just let out a big "Ocht..... I try my best". Totally disarming. She might be better prepped for it next time but I intend to run with this, whilst also passive aggressively ramping up "you can only ever do your best" teaching for the kids. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My prediction is that after using that comeback no more than 3 times, she will say, "Well your best clearly isn't good enough". Probably while standing with her hands on her hips. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has now been confirmed by a qualified clinician that she is a mumbling b*****d. Ha. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Give it a month until its: ”WELL YOUR FUCKING BEST ISNT GOOD ENOUGH”I’m surprised this wasn’t her reply after him using it for the first time. Mine has developed two habits.1 - asking me to do something, then adding 3 or for things onto what she has asked, Then will ask why I haven’t done the 1st thing. And 2 which is more annoying, acting like one of they motion sensor toys you get. As soon as my arse sits hist the seat, she will ask for something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
