I always knew that raising our teenage daughters was tough on me.
But I never realized that it was driving my husband certifiably insane.
Isn't it always the way? You're so focused on your own troubles that you don't notice those around you crying out for help?
Just yesterday I walked into the laundry room to do some wash and Drip Dry came in all screaming-like. . . Whatever you do, don't wash those two towels!
Why can't I wash them? I asked innocently.
Because they're big and fluffy! he answered.
What's wrong with big and fluffy??? I inquired.
Nothing's wrong with big and fluffy, but you know our daughters. . . they use a towel once before discarding it for a freshly laundered one. They should be using the old threadbare ones until they learn to use a towel more than once!
But they can't stay here! I answered. They'll grow old and smelly.
Well, wash them if you must, he said, but then I'm hiding them!
And so it was that those towels went into hiding. . . along with the blueberries they ate too fast. . . and the chocolate he thought they consumed too much of. . . and the pine nuts that were way too expensive. . . and the Tassimo coffee pods they drank with abandon. . . and the tweezers they didn't appreciate. . .and the razor they stole that was his. . . and the mirror they got their grimy little fingerprints all over. . . and the soda cans they never finish. . . and the iHome they didn't treat correctly . . . and the. . .
Well, you get the picture. . .

Sounds like the arrow on his butt might make a great tattoo!
Do we share the same husband and kids? This sounds EXACTLY like my house...
Oh, God...that is funny!!!
(Of course, I had BOYS. And they're NO better.
Oh do I ever know this game...my husband hides stuff from me!
Which way did the arrow point?
Peace - Rene
sounds to me he needs time out because he doesn't like to share anything..next he will be wearing their clothes cuz they don't appreciate them...LOL
Hiding things only makes them more alluring.
Now about that arrow...
Comedy Goddess- I think it said this end up >>>>>>>>>>
HA! I can just see him twitchy and mumbling to himself as he goes around the house trying to find the things he hid. I will keep my eyes open for that rest home and let you know.
Two things:
One - My husband hides things, too. I'm trying to decide if it's because they don't take care of things well enough, (like he says it is), or if it's because he is a selfish 2 year old at heart.
Two - You CANNOT tell us that you drew an arrow on your husband's butt and then not tell us the rest of the story. They can pull your blogger card for that, you know?
King Rufus just runs away to the deer camp or fishing. Less stress that way.
My husband has promised that his boat will have a cubby cabin by the time both our girls get "the gift" Because he knows taht we'll all be on it at the same time, and if someone is gonna die, it will be him...
omg that was funny.
FUNNY!!!!!!!!!
I'll join your hubby as I hide all sorts of stuff from the girls!!
And I SO need to know about the arrow on the butt. Spill it!
OMG, I can totally relate to your husband. I get grabbed by these fits of righteous indignation and hide the "family jewels," because they SOOO don't deserve it.
Tell him (or not) he is not alone. Maybe we're both certifiable...
