my bloke is married to his job, well its more of a way of life.

doesnt do holidays, last time we went away was our honeymoon 6yr ago. even then it was a week visiting farms n sheep, but thats the way he is. dont get me wrong im a farm bred bird myself but i do like to get away from time to time.

he wont go anywhere, he sez if i want to go sumwhere i should go myself!!!!!!!!!

my father and his father are the same, all thats in their heads are sheep n dogs!

im similar but i do like a change of scene, chance to recharge the batteries, sometimes it does my head in tho. prob coz he promised that when we moved here we might start having a weekend away now and then- he cant remember saying that! typical.

Hi Bounceyfi,

I'm glad i'm not the only one that's inclined to rant about their infuriating bf. I think the only way to get a nice man is to become a dominatrix and find someone submissive to do as they're told. Unfortunately i'm too nice for my own good and therefore feel daft cracking the whip.

My fella is an angel putting up with me. He put up with all my strops and trantrums whenever i complain about work, and stuck by me when my exams and portfolio got too much for me. We don't live together yet although it is on the cards this year, and hopefully as i work shifts and he does set hours we'll get on ok!!! He's really proud of all of my acheivements in my career and supports me 110%. He's even come into work with me on a weekend and raised a vain so i could re-drip a dog, that comes up in conversation when we meet new people... bless him.

As for insurance paper work, i do it all in the practice, i wouldn't even contemplate asking the reception staff as they are thick as pig shit!!!!! Get a nurse to do it, it is time consuming but i enjoy it and i feel a sense of acheivement when i manage to get cheques through for difficult conditions and i know how much the client (and the boss!!) appreciate it!!!!!

Why cannot men follow directions when you give them?

I had a man asking where were we, after working out were he was i gave directions. He rang up 10 mins later lost . On asking where he was, I found out that he had not followed my directions and thought he knew better!!, this was repeated twice more before he actually arrived!! So a journey that should have taken him no more than 20 mins actually took him 1 hour!!!!!

Re: Bloody Men!!! [:@]

Fiona Leathers — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:51:40 GMT

Dinkyd thanks for the suggestion - I do the insurance forms at my work too so it has been suggested!! Its just the way his practice works - the nurses don't do much!

Re: Bloody Men!!! [:@]

dinkyd — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:35:21 GMT

Hi - just with regards to the insurance forms can a nurse or receptionist not do them or be trained to at least help with them- i do all insurance stuff at our hospital and its a bloody time consuming thing its not rocket science either which doesnt need a vet to do.I know it doesnt solve your problem but may be worth gently suggesting he lightens his paperwork to do more productive things!

katy coleman — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 18:00:52 GMT

fiona I think you must have more patience than me!!

There is dedication and then just been used and abused. He should start saying no a little bit more to work and yes a little more to you at home.

My boss works all hours but its his business he would never ever dream of asking assistants to do half of what he does so I think its a bit much for your OH to be doing so much, something has got to give somewhere.

Poor you I hope you get something sorted soon and remember you can always rant to us to relieve some stress

Re: Bloody Men!!! [:@]

Fiona Leathers — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 13:46:12 GMT

I'm just feeling very pissed off with OH & his work!! He is a vet, so I can understand that its hard work but the hours he puts in is crazy! He does 1 on call a week with 1 standby night, 1 half day and the other 2 days are either 5 or 6pm finishes. .

If he's on call - then I don't see him - last night it was 2.30am before he came home. If he's on standby - then I'm lucky if he comes in before 11.30pm (cos he's writing up notes) If he's on 5/6pm finish then he might be back home by thereabouts but he will go back to work once its shut to finish writing up notes and may be back by 10-11pm. If its his half day then he has to go in to do insurance forms or referrals that he can't seem to get done during his normal working hours. He's not a partner but he is the most senior member of staff (apart fromt eh partners). He's also the assessor for his nurses and regularly brings home portfolio to do, cos he can't get to do it at work

His weekend on-call is non-viable for anything at all and his standby weekends he can't leave the house just in case he gets a call out. On his free weekends - he's been known to go into work to fix things or help out if they're busy.

This Sunday, after a week of feeling like shit & staying in bed, I wanted to do something even just to get out of the house, even just to walk the dogs - anything, and he f***ed off to work to frame a picture for a work colleague!!

If someone needs to swap - they ask him but vice versa there's no way he could swap cos it causes too much bother!!!! This weekend is my Dad's 70th, OH on call so I've asked if he could ask his standby vet to take the phone for 2 hours so we can enjoy my Dad's birthday lunch with my family (there's going to be about 30 folk coming) but he says that there's no way this can happen cos his standby is a new grad and he would probably just get called out anyway!!!!!

We've had arguements that he's having an affair, blah blah blah, doesn't like me anymore etc etc etc etc - which he denies and I believe him but you know how a female brain works!! Sometimes I just think that a guy can't love his work as much as he does!!

He's great round the house, he's great with Hannah, he's a genuinely nice guy and I love him to bits, we've been together 9 years but its driving me insane!!!

OK I've ranted! It's not made me feel any better but it's quite nice to have someone to sound off too!

Katy — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 19:47:42 GMT

Welllll, mine is pretty well trained!

He cooks most days when i'm at work, does nearly all of the washing, and shares the house cleaning!!!

Of course sometimes he is a pain in the bottom, especially when football is involved!

Re: Bloody Men!!! [:@]

Helen Brewster — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 14:57:27 GMT

I have to say my man is a star! He does all the cooking (I mean all!!), brings me breakfast in bed at the weekends, gets up early with me to make breakfast whilst I do my yoga! (even though he doesn't need to get up), does most of the grocery shopping, washes up nearly every day and cleans the house

I must point out that I work full time and am studying for the nursing diploma - whilst he works part time (not through choice!) but even so......

As I tell my friends train them from the start - be demanding but ever so persausive

Re: Bloody Men!!! [:@]

Caro Laithwaite VN — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:56:02 GMT

Well train him well from the start Nicky

My hub deserts me most weekends to go fall out of airoplanes but he often leaves me pre cooked food because of my cooking skills. And he is just a lpillar there when l need him. and my cook.

Re: Bloody Men!!! [:@]

nicky shoult — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:10:40 GMT

Infuriating men in my life- Yes normally in the form of the Vet!!! He is still at basic training level so a bit of work to do with him yet!
