How can I sort/deal with this issue

Just a thought but is your DH the nervous type. My DH has got too much nervous energy, he’s 72 . We get up roughly the same time, but he’s much more ready than me to start the day.
He also interrupts all the time and doesn’t listen. Our DGD yesterday was in tears because grandad wasn’t listening and wouldn’t let her speak. So annoying ! But it’s like his mind is racing ahead and what we’re saying doesn’t matter.
He’s already asked me what I want for the supermarket and I’m supposed to be writing a list then he’s going for a walk around the park, and a football match tonight.
I’ll be happy just to potter after a busy day yesterday. We’re all different.

Do you need to be so rude?

It seems the struggle is caused by your two routines colliding.

If you can't make them merge then can't you sit down together and hammer out some way to make it work for you?

My husband does some of the jobs, I do others.
He does his jobs when it suits him and I do mine.
We make a menu plan for the week, then a shopping list, then one of us goes shopping when the shop is quiet. The week's our own then and we do as we please.
It's a peaceful sort of set up.

Why don’t you go out and do a big shop?

Or get an online order once a week?

As for eating what you fancy when you fancy it, if you get a weekly big shop in then you can have Tuesday's dinner on Friday if you wish. You have a packed fridge and can pick and choose.

You also don't need to have the same plan every week. We definitely don't have fish on Friday, mince on Monday week in week out.

You have a husband who can actually use a washing machine!! Don't sweat the small stuff. Do what you want when you want. My husband has absolutely no idea about anything domestic. He can manage tea and toast and that is it. Meals put in front of him every day. He has a laundry fairy, cleaning fairy, shopping fairy, gardening fairy, the list is endless. His only interest is if it has an engine! He is looked after like a child. However, he is kind and caring and I love him (most of the time).😂

I can't believe this is real.
Does it not occur to the poster that her habits may be equally annoying to her husband?
Would she prefer that he did nothing, as so many partners do?

My thoughts as well, eazybee. I don’t see any problem that a bit of give and take won’t solve.

Perhaps the DH sees the morning trip to the shops as his daily exercise? Perhaps he enjoys talking to people he meets while out and about? I don’t see any harm in it, whatever the reason. It doesn’t sound as though he wants to do a big shop, or an online delivery, and why should he? As others have said, if you don’t want to be disturbed in a morning, just keep a shopping list on the fridge so he knows what you want. Then you can stay in bed undisturbed for as long as you like, and he can crack on as he wants.

I keep a list on the worktop and jot down whenever we are about to run out of something. Then there is always a shopping list ready. Sometimes I put an item on a ‘Soon’ list rather than ‘Urgent’.

Sorry to say this, but one day one of you will be on your own, so there is nobody else to do the jobs you don’t like doing. It is wise for everyone to be aware of what needs to be done to run a house and to learn how to do them( or pay someone else to do so).

He also interrupts all the time and doesn’t listen. Our DGD yesterday was in tears because grandad wasn’t listening and wouldn’t let her speak. So annoying ! But it’s like his mind is racing ahead and what we’re saying doesn’t matter

My OH does this and when I explained how annoying it is he said he is afraid of forgetting what he wants to say. So now I leave him be unless we have company and then I remind him just to be sociable.

Tizliz. Maybe that’s my DH problem too. Although he’s always been like this but to a lesser extent. He is having memory problems but is in denial.

Surely you could sit up in bed and write a shopping list.
Maybe you could do the washing yourself in the morning!

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Calm down dear!

It certainly read as applying only to men.
