JFF What Is Your Spouse Clueless About?

My husband once said, you know we've been in this house for like 11 years and we've Never cleaned the oven! OK, I guess WE'VE never cleaned the oven, but I certainly have

My husband asked me the other day, "Where do we keep the towels?" I was totally dumbfounded. We have lived in this house for 2 years, and he had NO idea where the linen closet was.

My hubby is very involved in our children's lives, takes them to Dr. appts., picks up/drops off at school, attends conferences, etc... He's great in the kitchen, helps with laundry, etc... (color me thankful!). However, one day I was playing solitaire in the kitchen. He asked, "What are you doing?" I replied I was playing a game of solitaire. He commented that he didn't know how to play and never saw it done! lol I was taken aback and teased him a bit, considering how much his mom always played cards. So, I taught him and he said something along the lines of, "No wonder I never learned; it's boring". hahaha

Fun question you posted.

My current husband isn't clueless about anything. My ex however is another story. When my ex and I first started dating, he was over and we were sorting laundry into darks, mediums and whites. Honest to God, he held up a SOLID orange shirt and said, "does this go in the whites?" I should have ended it right then and there....

My husband did not know that women had 3 holes "down there". He thought there was the one in the back and the main one. I guess he figured the pee came out the main hole LOL

I don't know if this counts as "clueless" it's more along the lines of "disturbingly forgetful." My husband cannot remember ANYTHING regarding tv shows or movies he's watched.

To be fair, I can remember insane details about a movie I saw 10 years ago, including most of the actors names, songs that played in the soundtrack, etc. But my husband is so bad, sometimes we'll see a promo for a movie, and he'll have to ask me if he's seen it or not. He's not a forgetful person regarding anything else, he's a science teacher!!!! But with television and movies, it's like as soon as the credits roll, it's completely erased from his brain.

My favorite example: he took me to the theater to see one of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels. This is one of my favorite movie series, I watch them quite a bit, so he's seen the first couple movies several times at least. At the end of this particular movie, the villain from the first movie, who was supposed to be dead, makes a surprise return. Every single person in the theater gasped in shock, everyone is going "oh my gosh!" or "can you believe it?" and my husband turns to me and asks "who is that?"

Well, he just referred to Claritin as "my decongesTIVE."

And apparently, after 14 years in the same house, he's clueless that the dishwasher (empty, roomy) is located RIGHT beneath the counter where he places his glass/mug/plate all the time.

Oh (And I might be influenced by the current Man Cold in
my house right now) but he's also clueless as to how FLIPPING annoying it is fo r me to hear that annoying cough every 5.4 seconds of the night!!!

These are funny...

The summer before K started for my oldest, my husband didn't know what school she was going to.

My husband is a huge help with the kids but as far as household chores...that is another story. I had surgery right after having our 2nd daughter so I wasn't supposed to lift anything and just take an easy. I watched for 3 days as the kitchen table become completely buried with recyclables. After several reminders, I started to take them out and he was like, "honey you shouldn't be doing that!" After I told I couldn't stand the mess anymore, he told me he didn't even notice!

My husband was jumping in and being helpful one day early this past summer. We've been in the house for 7 summers now (6 years, 7 summers). I was sitting at the breakfast table writing checks and balancing the checkbook, and he went out to the pool and started dumping shock treatment into the bucket that we use to mix it with water and put it into the pool.

I didn't think anything of it, until I saw him carry the bucket over by the spigot, turn the water hose on, and start SPRAYING the chlorine powder with the water to mix it!! YIKES. You never ever ever add water to the chemicals,... you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS add the chemicals to the water! I jumped up and RAN out there to stop him before something terrible could happen. (I don't really know what... but it could've been bad, right? You just don't DO that!) We'd been here 6 years and he didn't know this. I guess I didn't realize that I was the ONLY one taking care of the pool all this time. I mean, I thought I might be doing MOST of it, but ALL of it?

My sister and her husband of now 30+ years married young. In the early years of their marriage, my BIL thought you scrambled an egg by vigorously shaking a raw egg and then cracking it open. My poor sister! We'll never let him live that down.

Can't believe I'm going to throw my husband under the bus like this. My husband is a smart man and with a Doctorate degree, and yet in a momentary laps thought New England was a state and he argued about it with me for several minutes. He also did not know that the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French.
Ha ha Melissa, I thought that until my sister was teaching me how to use a tampon and I was confused how it wouldn't get saturated with pee. To his credit, its not that we didn't learn these things in health class, we just forget!

This isn't a hubbie one but an ex-boyfriend of mine thought that all twins had the star sign Gemini!! I am a twin and so was he. Him and his brother just happened to be born in June (gemini) and my sister and I were born in December (Capricorn) He just could not understand why we weren't all gemini's. lol

Last year my husband asked me what day of the week Thanksgiving was on. I thought he was joking! :) He had no clue that it is ALWAYS on a Thursday.

For years my husband would say my oldest was born in 1999. He was actually born in 1998. To be fair, my child was premature. But you'd think he'd remember since the first thing he said when I went into labor was "Wahoo, tax break!"

I was just thinking about this the other day. My husband can be a great dad but he has no idea how to really relate to the kids and their ups and downs. I pretty much take care of everything. I need to start putting toghether a book with doctor's numbers and who to call for what. He has been to the doc but whenever I tell him a child is going in, he asks me where. Been going to the same place for 10 years.

Also, my oldest son gets medication and we have to order on a monthly basis. I talk about it all the time, hoping it gets into his head. The pharmacy will call us to ask if we need any meds. 2 months ago, he answered the phone and asked me if I knew anything about it because he did not need any medication. I honestly don't think he would be able to order it himself on the fly

Of course, my kids love to act clueless. A lot of the time.
