Husband has toothache and wants me to find him a dentist?

My husband has a killer toothache and wants me to hunt down a dentist for him. I wouldn't mind if it wasn't for the fact that he is home half as much as me and I am in school full time with three kids. Don't get me wrong I don't mind helping him but if you could only understand this isn't just a problem when he needs to go to the doctor. It's any busines that he needs to take care of its always on me. He does not like making phone calls. Even paying a bill when I am not home to do it. Is this the norm for men. Should I just suck it up and be his secretary?

Tell him to grow up. Toothaches are the worst, so let him know that he'll continue to have one until he gets off his lazy butt and finds himself his own dentist! It is wonderful to have help when you don't have the time, or simply forget to drop the bills off at the mailbox. But to walk around whining until something like making a phonecall gets done, that's just pathetic. You should put your foot down.

Reply:well also he is in some severe pain I know I had a few that made me so sick I had to be put in the hospital for 2 days.


It is hard to talk when your in that much pain so make an exception on this one..NOW if it was a finger or something well that is another story!





I would tell him LOOK I will do it and this is it..you need to start calling as well...be sympathetic BUT the next time he wants you to say NOPE I am to busy you do it or it will not get done
Reply:just ignorance him, if he pain until very hard he will go to find doctor himself. if he ask u, u give the answer " forget" then continue forget until himself go to consult doctor.
Reply:no its not normal and i am sure when his toothache gets too bad he will be able to find a dentist, tell him you forgot or couldnt find one or you were too busy, give him the hint he is a lazy good for nothing and grow up your not his mummy poor diddums
Reply:That depends...





...do you want to be his wife or his mommy?
Reply:Us men are like little boys sometimes. Ha,Ha I think we love our wives so much that we trust you to do a better job than us? I live in Taiwan my wife is Taiwanese so she has to write everything but, I will usually take the bills and pay them after she does the writing. I can't read Chinese I can only speak it like a 8 year old? I would say he loves and trusts you a lot. That's why he wants you to do these things. I think if he helps take care of the kids and helps clean the house it's fair? I work as a Teacher so I can understand you come home from school and want to turn your brain off Huh?

Reply:Does he do things for you? My husband is the same way. He doesn't like to make phone calls, order his own food at resturants, or just talk to strangers in general. I do it for him, but there are plenty of things I don't like to do that he does for me, so it's a two way street. Finding a dentist should not be an issue, it should only be an issue if he puts 100% of the work on you.
