Husband and i are not getting along.......

[Jolyn]

Seriously dh is a great guy and i'm not bashing him at all. He literally is grumpy though. Every night he's out there finishing up something or other......plus he wants it to be perfect. He's also working on our irrigation for our property......he's put in tons of sprinklers and has hooked up electrical to our shed and etc.....He's been a busy man the past month.

We are heading out to go camping on Friday....maybe we can relax and enjoy our time at the lake.

All of the above for me! They come around when there is a lul in projects.

I know better than to even SPEAK to mine when he's working on something. I get so angry when he's shouting out orders and I just don't understand building lingo...

Hang in there. It'll pass. Want my recipe for beer dill bread? That always works LOL.

Yep and Nope my husband DOES NOT understand the chicken obsession I have... WE've been together 27 years and the past 13 years I've wanted chickens! Well here they are and now he does not any more... I have 8.

And we didn't even build the coop a friend did! I do need more outside space and I'm hinting for him to do it~

Maybe he'd be happy with the coop if there was a beer tap on the side...?

At the risk of other hubbies finding out our secrets,
They really do love having their egos stroked! :aww
It never fails. Even hubbies who say it isn't so. Are totally fibbin! Especially when you try to help but are then amazed at their immense
(

use large words that mean big. They like that too!) Anyway, show your amazement at their immense abilities.

And let them be right when you need them too. Nothing better than taking away their reason to be mad at you.
Basically, treat them as you would an irate customer. One if it means your job is on the line if they don't leave satisfied. If you can do that, You can change the outcome. Remember behavior breeds behavior. LOVE

Chickfillhay, THAT was my biggest laugh of a day filled with laughs. Thanks!

My dh has been extremely busy around here, and when I know he is getting cranky, and even before, I always let him know how amazing he is, and talented, etc etc. We all like and need to hear that we are appreciated, and that we are not taken for granted. Maybe he just needs to hear that, and also, give him the space he needs.

Thats all the advice I can give, b/c that is what has worked for me, and since we still have LOTS to do around here, I know I'll be doing this alot in the future.

Good luck!
