So hubby and I were sat on the sofa together after watching another episode of walking dead, we’re obsessed! Some how we came up with the idea of writing New Years resolutions for each other. This should be interesting! If you want to read what new years resolutions my husband set for me click here. Here are my new years resolutions for my husband:
1. Stop moving things! This is a biggie for me! I put something down somewhere safe, yet when the time comes to use said thing, it’s gone! I don’t understand your need to move things and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve rung you whilst you’re in work just so that I can ask where you’ve put something! Stop moving things!
2. Stop leaving the back door open! I know you smoke and that’s fine, that’s your choice, but at least shut the door! It lets all of the cold air in and you know how much I love to be warm!
3. Get off your phone! I know, I know, I spend a lot of time on my phone too, but I’m working on reducing this! If we’re in the park or anywhere else with the girls please put your phone away and join us!
4. Don’t start a conversation with me whilst walking out of the room! I do not have super sonic hearing!
5. Leave the washing up, clothes washing, tidying up etc and come play with us!
6. If you’re home and you make yourself a cup of tea, please make me one too!
7. When you do make me a cuppa tell me otherwise it’ll go cold!
8. Rub my legs properly! If I make a deal with you to do something for you in exchange for a leg rub, at least do a decent job of rubbing my legs! None of this stop-start nonsense! I want a full on continuous rubbing motion for at least 30 minutes!
9. Answer a question properly! When I ask you a question, just give me an answer. I asked you the other day, “Do you know where the Sudocrem is?” A simple yes or no would have sufficed, along with the location of the cream if you’d said yes, but your answer was: “I know we used it yesterday”. How does that answer the question I just asked you?
That being said, I do love my hubby very very much! He does so much for us, (like the washing up and drying the clothes etc!), and even though the things above do bug me, I wouldn’t change you! I love you the way you are!
What new years resolutions would you set for your other half? I tag the following five bloggers to take part if you want to. If you do take part, please link back to this post so people know where this tag started, thanks!

So funny reading both your posts! I wonder what ours would look like? I do suffer the same talking to me whilst walking out the room with the kettle going and dishwasher rumbling. #Best&Worst

Haha, this list made me chuckle – some of it rings true (guilty of one or two).
Good luck with the resolutions!

This is fab, I’m gonna get my other half to read it! #ThatFridayLinky

I could have written some of these myself! Answering questions and starting conversations with me then while I’m in another room, then I end up walking back and forth aaahhhh!! I think we could all spend less time on the tech too. #ThatFridayLinky

This is brilliant – and some of those are totally relevant to my other half! Like the moving things. I’ll know where something is for ages, even if it is in a pile on the computer desk – and then when I need it…gone! Men!! Thanks for hosting #ThatFridayLinky

Ahahaha, love this and what a good idea! The answering of questions properly is one I need to set my husband. Along with get to the point. He will take 20 mins to say something could have been said in one! #ThatFridayLinky

Nice post! Get Nige in order. My other half is nodding at some of these!

30 mins of leg rubbing!!! You must be some negotiator 😜
As for leaving things and him moving them. I’m not sure we’ve heard all there is to hear about this one. Is he tidying them away after you leaving them somewhere silly/dangerous? Like high heels in the hallway etc. I think I’d need to hear both sides of this story.
Great list though.

Haha I love this and can tell my wife would have the same answers for me.

Excellent (and brave!) idea! I know for a fact that my wife would set me ‘stop moving things’ I always like to tidy up but she can never find things because of it! Cool idea for a post I like it 🙂

I do like the idea of setting each other New Year’s Resolutions. Very brave and I imagine a lot of fun #ThatFridayLinky x

Aww I love this, I laughed at the get off your phone, I think Gaz and I would say the same about eachother! I would tell Gaz to stop leaving the milk in the fridge with just a dribble of milk left in – it drives me INSANE!!! #thatfridaylinky

This has made me giggle a little tonight – as I read through this some I know that my hubby would have said the same things to me; stop doing the dishes, washing etc (he always tells me to leave it)

This gave me a laugh! 1 and 9 should be my husband’s too. He moves my things all the time and just doesn’t understand that my untidiness is organised mess! And then my pet hate, he answers a question with “whatever you think”! #ThatFridayLinky

What an alternative. I wonder whether you’ll both stick to them. #ThatFridayLinky

haha brilliant! That is such a good idea although I dread to think what my oh would say for me! You will have to give us a half way update in June and let us know how you both got on! #thatfridaylinky

I think spending less time on phones would be a good one for so many people. They are taking over the world… but at the same time I don’t know where I’d be without Google on hand at all times.

This is a great idea. I can think of a few for my husband too #thatfridaylinky

Im definately trying to stop being on my phone so much, but half the time it is taking pictures but then i do think maybe live in the moment and make a memory rather than taking a photo of it.
I feel your pain about the back door. When we used to smoke I used to hate the cold air blowing through! definately glad we’ve both quit now! #thatfridaylinky

I think this should be the new way to do resolutions. People may stick to them more if they’re for someone else’s benefit. #thatfridaylinky

I think some of these would suit my husband very nicely! He sure could do with stop moving things (maybe is a man thing) and talking as he walks away or turns to do something else. I CANNOT HEAR YOU!!!!!! #ThatFridayLinky

This is such a great idea! I’m telling my other half when he finally gets off his phone haha! #thatfridaylinky

Haha! My OH is a stop start masseuse too. I get more stressed and tense whilst he is trying to relax my muscles than I would be if he wasn’t! #thatfridaylinky

Some of these cracked me up. I particularly like the one about not starting a conversation as you’re walking out of the room 😂😂

I love this idea – I was nodding along to most of these too! Especially getting off the phone and doing the washing up all the time instead of spending time together. Sometimes I think my hubby loves doing things where he is being super useful but equally there’s nothing better than being together as a family. Thanks for hosting #thatfridaylinky x
