When my husband and I met, he had (and still has) a dog....I love her BUT she sheds like crazy! When we moved in together, she obviously came with....yet, my husband is VERY lax on picking up after our dog....to the constant shedding of black hair to the poop outside on our lawn. He is just so laid back it drives me crazy!
NOW....my mother-in-law was remarried this past weekend, and my husband OFFERED to keep her TWO dogs for an entire week while they honeymooned....long story short...BOTH dogs shed...and bark nonstop!! We have three dogs.....three shedding canines.
My husband yet again, and as always, is watching TV, playing on the computer or napping while I clean up all the dog hair and everything that comes with dogs. I'm not a dog-hater by any means, but with teaching summer school and taking care of our 4 year old....I think my husband should STEP THE HECK UP!!
Any ideas or advice? My husband thinks I am being too "neurotic" about the dogs....UGH!!
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
Same situation here! I HATE all the dog hair! The only way to get rid of it is to brush them everyday (which he will never do). Tell him either he starts brushing them and picking up the poo or the dogs are gonna stay outside or in the garage PERMANENTLY!! This problem has also made me neurotic.. even if its not I constantly think its in my food or in my mouth its so gross.. just put your foot down, that is what I had to do!

how bout this pick up the sheads agian this time put the sheads on him hell get the point
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
I am not a dog hater....but why don't you just put your husband outside with the dogs until his mother gets back. They can all take care of each other.
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
I would suggest either he takes care of his dog's messes and so, or the dog goes.
As far as him accepting to take care of his mother's dogs, I'd let him know you two are in a partnership, and it takes two to okay a decision regarding what goes on in both of your home, and the next time, he had better include you in the decision making. Speak up for yourself, but do it kindly and firmly.

Is there any point of talking about hubby slacking, hahaha.... I have one too. Trust me unless he chokes on some of that shedding he is not going to realise what you are complaining about. So make sure to add some in his dinner today! Sounds evil but will he get your point I think he will... ;)
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
yeah DONT PICK UP AFTER THE DOGS ! your enabling him, just flat out dont do it. if he says something tell him its his responsibility and you just aint doint it anymore. he'll get sick of it to eventually. and if he don't change%26gt;turn the tables on him and do something similar to get his attention that irratates the hell out of him, it will get him thnking.
Just dont be mean. make your point, get a cat and let it sleep with you guys, after waking up with the cat on him...might just make him think
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
If I were you, I would tell him to either keep up with the dogs or you are taking them to the SPCA. If he wants his dog bad enough, he will step up. If not, well you know what to do. After dropping his dog at the SPCA, call your mother in law and let her know that the dogs need to be picked up as soon as she steps foot into town because her baby boy isn't helping out.

Didn't the marriage clergyman say "for better or for worse"?
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
i believe dogs belong outside. kick 'em out there. yours too.
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
I would go to a hotel or move back with my family until the in-law-dogs were gone.
Then I would insist that we get some counseling....your husband's behavior is a form of abuse. He's taken control of the situation and left you no recourse.
If he wouldn't go with me I would go by myself.
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
gosh that sounds like a bummer with the three dogs. Tell him to at least shovel the pop up to the garbage can. That will help get rid of the fly and smell. best of luck to you.......
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
No, you're not being neurotic. It sounds like your husband doesn't respect you or your feelings. Did he ask you before he offered kennel services to his mother? I'm guessing not. My husband did something similar, and after seeing the error of his ways, he boarded the dogs. We were seeing a marriage therapist at the time, and she helped resolve that situation.
Try sitting down and talking with your husband about how frustrated and overworked you feel. Have in mind what your desired outcome is -- that he vacuums once a week, picks up the dog poop twice a week, etc. He needs to take your feelings into account, not dismiss them as neuroses. If he values you, he needs to show it. A marriage counselor may help, too.
The dog isn't to blame in all this, so ignore the posts that say to lock the dog outside or in the garage. That's just cruel.
Neglect is the most common type of abuse. Your husband needs to recognize that his neglect of you, your child, and the dog is selfish, irresponsible, and abusive.

get a squirt bottle and fill with water and spray them when they bark.of course it wont hurt them and it makes them stop.get a gate and keep the dog(s) out of the front room,again use the water bottle if they bark because of it or jump on it.tell your husband that you are tired of the hair and until he can help keep things clean , then they stay in the other room.
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
I'm with him.
Get over it.
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
he doesn't think that the problem is that bad as he doesn't see it. What he is paying attention to is the area that you have already cleaned. My advice? Don't clean it up for a few days. Particularly where he sits while playing his games. Maybe then he will realize just what it is that you go through to keep his and mama's dogs. If you are the one that picks it up in the yard, why not place it in a bag and leave it on hubby's car hood? Maybe if he has to deal with it anyway, he may come closer to picking up after his animal? Just my opinions.
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
Sit him down %26amp; tell him you love him %26amp; the dog. What you dont appreciate is that he expects you to lower your standards of cleanliness to accept the canine mess %26amp; that if he wants his dog %26amp; keep you happy too he needs to pitch in %26amp; help. Choose poop scoop days between the two of you, or decide which doggie duties you are each comfortable with %26amp; stick to it. There has to be give %26amp; take. If he still resist, scoop the poop into his side of the bed %26amp; plan on sleeping on he couch till he cleans it up!!

I am a dog lover and have had my share of pets. Although I don't currently own one, I have had my share of sheding pets. He should have consulted you before considering taking in his mother's pets but may have thought it was ok since you care for his dog so well (ha, ha). Anyway, I would suggest keeping the visiting dogs outside. Let the yard and poop cleaning be your husband's job. You can minimize sheding on your dog by brushing him/her every day. Do this outside after the morning walk it will calm both you and the pet. You will also find less doggie hair in the house.
You could also have your dog "mysteriously disappear" but that will likely cause more problems than it is worth :)
Good luck

save up an entire weeks worth of dog hair and dump it on the driver seat of his car. when he confronts you, you simply tell him that every time you have to pick up the hair, that you're gonna dump it on his stuff since he doesn't seem to mind it. saying this, i'm assuming you've already told him numerous times...so this would be a last resort, that is, if you've got the balls.
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
I know what you mean about living with someone, and something they do or DONT do drives you NUTS and theyre totally fine with it! I adore dogs, however...lucky for me I picked a breed that doesnt shed, simply because I also cant STAND the dog hair. I know someone suggested that you simply dont clean up after the dog, but to be frank if it doesnt bother him now, than he probably wont clean up after the dog either! It seems to me that you should of course say something, address the problem Tell him you really needed to be consulted before inviting two more dogs into the house when he isnt even taking the responsibity for one. If he doesnt get the point (and im sure he wont...) then maybe you can stop doing something else that he appreciates. For example, if you cook him dinner at night, simply don't. Cook for your son and tell your hubby if hes hungry he can take care of it. If dirty dishes drive him crazy and you clean them, stop. Tell him to do it himself...something along those lines. If you are now exhibiting a behavior that annoys him, maybe he will start to see things from your perspective. If all else fails..........go to home depot this weekend and build a nice big dog house for the two of them in the backyard. Im sure theyll be very happy together....lol, GOOD LUCK!

i think you should wait until all the kids are all in school and then get a boy toy!
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
Be like most women and don't stick with your man.
Husband slacking and I am SICK of it!?
i think pets are the worse thing. energy sucking money wasting dirty butt licking beasts that belong outside. so my answer is get rid of the pets.
