Grrr...Dh will be sockless!

**daddys3chicks** · 10-26-2005, 09:27 AM

I was upstairs minding my own business and DH was downstairs with Amanda. I come down the stairs and what do I find? Amanda happily snipping away at a ball of sock yarn! I yelled the dreaded three names (first, middle and last - the ultimate sign of big trouble - yes?) and DH said "See, I told you you would get in trobuble!" HUH?????

I asked her why she did it - "Because I needed some string!" Okay....then I told DH I couldn't believe he just sat there and watched her ship away at an entire ball of (not cheap) yarn!!!!! THEN I come to find out, she did the same thing to the other matching skein of sock yarn!

Well! Guess who is NOT getting snazzy striped socks for Christmas?????

Oh no Cheryl! I'm sorry that happened.

In my experience, men often have small brains.

(And nobody can yell at me about this, because this is a proven fact- they ARE smaller than women's brains....)

Sorry your yarn got ruined.

I'm with you Kimberly!!...My dh can go to work and manage 20 guys and talk to people and make hundred thousand dollar deals, but leave him with a baby or small child and he turns into a total idiot

..and don't ask him to order from a drive thru window

he gets alll tongue tied and just about has a nervous breakdown

**Emerald_Mommy** · 10-26-2005, 10:31 AM

Oh man, I'm sorry Cheryl!

**nodmicks** · 10-26-2005, 10:36 AM

Oh ugh! I hate when stuff like that happens!

**AmyMCGS** · 10-26-2005, 10:37 AM

Totally sounds like something my DH would have done.

Sorry about the yarn.

I think men think of yarn and such as "cheap string". They really have no concept of the price good supplies are. My husband has just now started to realize that not all sewing machines are $199 at Walmart and that the $50 cleaning and maintance is well worth the price.
P.S Please everyone do not take it the wrong way. I did own a Walmart sewing machine for years and acctually wore it out before I bought my Viking.

Men, you gotta love em

**pita1213** · 10-26-2005, 07:31 PM

dh was supposed to be watching our 2 plus his 3 young cousins while me and his aunt went to back to school night. the kids made airplanes out of an entire package of paper. they were ALL over the house. dh sat upstairs watching tv for 3 hours because the kids were"too noisy"

hello! you are the adult, tell them to quiet down or send them to the basement, don't leave them unsupervised in a room where they can get into things. ugh

not as bad as your sock yarn, but i know how frustrated you feel.

**Katybird** · 10-26-2005, 08:10 PM

Men--it is a good thing that we love em or we would have to have a season on them

**bamamomto4** · 10-26-2005, 08:20 PM

OH NO!!! Make him buy you more yarn and dont make him socks...make me some instead

LOL!

My almost grown daughter confided in me that her personal fantasy as a child was that her father and I would divorce. Why? Apparently she was going to stay with dad because he let them do whatever they wanted and always said yes.
I told her it would have only worked out for 3 months anyway and then she would be living with me. After all at the end of 3 months he would be not only broke but homeless as well.
