Anyone else got one......Grumpy, absent minded, impatient and sleeps at the drop of a hat.

He is getting worse, seems to live in a little world of his own. No patience with anything....including himself.
Now I know he is getting older but heavens above.

Please tell me I'm not alone.....I wish he could have some of my patches. It might make him easier to live with

You know you are not alone HB.

I am having grumpy OH problems too ( though he does not sleep at the drop of a hat) still awake at one in the morning

Not in his good books this afternoon because I poured away about quarter an inch of beer left in the bottle, I didn't know he was saving it

[honeybun]

Oh heaven's the ultimate sin 

It's not just with me, he drives my daughter up the wall too. I can actually see her biting her tongue. She at least gets to go out 


I am needing a huge injection of patience just to get to the end of the day.

My husband can also be a very grumpy so and so.  There are certain things that make him snappy and horrible - don't interrupt him when he is reading the paper or on the computer.  He can't talk and read - in fact like most men cannot multi task.  I notice if in am doing 6 things like making food, answering phone,  looking for something blah blah and I snap at him - God forbid but when he is doing one or two things at the same time he becomes exceptionally grumpy.  Plus if he's doing diy - always in a mood.  Plus driving - oh don't  get me started........
Yes he's a grumpy so and so,  you are not alone HB xxx

Last week my OH told me how to cut up cucumber for a salad. I trained as a chef for heaven's sake.
My daughter was in the kitchen at the time and her face was a picture. I really think she expected that cucumber to end up somewhere other than the salad......She was nearly right. The amount of self control that one took

Mine's exactly the same.

I am quite tempted to prod him, and yes this is the same OH that I was really worried about earlier on this year. He falls asleep in a second then the next day gets crabby when I don't do something instantly, when he hasn't said what it is he wants

What really got me today, listening to Mahler 6 on the TV and he criticises the 1st horn player (female) saying she is bending the notes, that's how it should sound - Grrrr. I have never heard anything so well played in my life.

I'll stop ranting now.......

[honeybun]

Oh please don't. It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one

I suspect mines getting worse................

[honeybun]

I know mine is.

Guess it's not only woman that change as we age. Men do too without a doubt.

Prob a male menopause.

A male member of staff came into our all female office one day this week with a t shirt, jumper and fleece.  Oooh he says i'm hot maybe a hot flush could it be male meno he was saying aloud.  At this point i twirled around in my chair, glared at him before saying hot flushes really arent funny, if you had ever had one you would know all about it, before finishing with " and the reason men dont get them is they couldnt cope with them".

At that I just twirled back to what I was doing and left him to close his mouth that had gaped open.

As for my hubby hes early 40's, completely laid back in stark comparison to me hopefully got a while yet before he gets grumpy.

This is interesting in a grumpy old man kind of way http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2013/aug/05/were-grumpy-for-a-reason/

Amongst my friends they are also saying that their husbands/partners are becoming less tolerant and grumpy. It seems to me that women tend to want to start living as they get older and time's running out but a lot of men want to slow down.

Mine is becoming less tolerant these days. He used to be calm. Oh & he can fall asleep to order, complete with remote control pointed at the TV.

Mind you I think I'm less tolerant these days too,so maybe not just a male thing.

[honeybun]

Problem is how do you tell a grumpy old man why he is grumpy without making him grumpier.
My OH would never admit to being a grumpy old sod

[Joyce]

No, they wouldn't would they. Mine is getting so like his dad, physically & in grumpiness stakes. But then I'm getting like my mum. Heaven help us all. 

[honeybun]

Oh God, shoot me if I get like my mother
