O/T How Childish can men be sometimes?!

Its cos deep down they're all still 7 years old. when i say to OH "how old are you?" when he's having a strop i get "i'm 7!" seriously thats the answer i get!!! and games seem to dominate their lives!!

Honestly you should have seen his face, he looked like he could have called off the full wedding he was in that much of a strop!!! lol

Lxx

OH is surgically attatched to his PC, x-box and wii. now he's after a ps3! surely all of that AND the blu ray player are enough!! not too mention he steals my laptop!

xx

Hahahahaaaa Men are so funny. Mine was the same last yeat when his xbox did actually break down - I couldnt stop laughing - He was miserable while it was away getting repaired.

At least you have Hitched to keep you sane Bailey..... ?

Mx

We have, a wii, Laptop, PS3, PSP, and a DS. Now he wants an Iphone, What is it with Men and Gadgets?!?!?!?! He's not keen on the xbox, but if he was he'd be on it constantly! I can't remember the last time i seen any of my soaps!! lol

LxXx

Ths is the third x-box he's on, but his bro and sis have just got the PS3 and now he wants his own. i think even his dad is desparate to have a go on COD MW2! FIL is ex RAF and think he wants to show them how to fire a rifle properly!

xx

Now that he's calmed down i have asked him why they react in such a way his reply was ...................................

Shut up! lol?

Lxx

? they are so silly bless 'em!! did you get "the look" aswell??

xx

By "the look" I assume your refering to the one that says "how dare you ask me such a stupid question, I did not over react in anyway!!"? lol

If so then Yes, I got the look!!! ?

Lxx

Thats the one!

xx

Yep, I did get the look, and it was a biggie too!! lol

I'm now being kicked off the laptop, as he's gave up with the PS3. lol

Lxx

I think I might be able to trump you on this one! We have:

1 x PC (with double screens so he can play games on on and surf net on the other at the same time!)

2 x laptops

1 x PS2

1 x PS3

1 x Xbox

1 x Wii

1 x DS

1 x PSP

2 x Iphones

1 x HTPC ( a computer hooked up to the TV so he can play all of the old Nintendo/Mega Drive games!)

Honestly, I have to book a time slot with my OH if I want to even speak to him! haha. Like you said, god forbit if one of them broke, I'd move out!

x

Blimey well and truely trumped! he wants to get dual monitors for the pc as he has them at work (and a lot of other techy gadgets which i think fulfills his needs and why the house isnt overrun tbh!) as if the current monitor isnt big enough! its a 20inch flat screen that's better than the tv in our room!!

Oh wow,,lol. I thought it was just my husband who was like that, lol. I have to say, he did give up online gaming a few years back now, (I keep him too busy with the photography thing, lol). But at one point, he was really addicted to playing Unreal Tournament. From morning til very late at night. It was really frustrating. I think it's a guy thing,, they get to flex their testoterone or something when they are gaming. I did used to laugh when he would get killed and screamed like a girl, because his character often WAS a girl, (apparently girl are harder targets to hit than the male ones,, whatever, lol)

[laugh[, yo u should come to my house to see the "temper tantrums" my h2b has, he even got himself that worked up years ago he locked himself in the back bedroom, he's almost 56 going on 3 ?

We must be in the dark ages (or I'm lucky!) in our house. We've a computer & a wii. He's got old playstation at his parents but thats about it.

He does have mega mardies on the wii tho when it doesn't do what he tells it, he swings the controller round (as if that'd make a difference!) then shouts at it. He's thrown the controller down before so he gets told (like u'd tell a 4 yr old) 'i'll take it off you if u don't behave!' he either laughs cos he realises how stupid he's being or i get a 'shurrup!!'

I'm an Xbox widow. ☹️

How very sad for us all!

My husband is currently SCREAAAAAAAAAAMING at his pc in the bedroom. Hes not even playing a game but trying to do 'something serious!!!!' The poor cat must be hiding under the bed by now....

hes going to give himself a heart attack one of those days.....I'm surprised the pc hasnt been thrown through the window...

This made me giggle the other day, OH was starting to get cross with the blu ray player wondering why it wasnt working. till he looked behind the tv and realised he hadn't plugged the scart lead ito the back of the tv ?

You ladies just don't understand or have a grip of the bigger picture here about the Alpha male elements involved in the dynamics of the environment that the games bring to their position in life. It IS all important, and you don't appreciate this...........

OK, I AM bullsh1tting?

I stick to minesweeper....

Is that the same theory that applies to bbq's ??? talk about competition there!!

Ahh...an enlightened female that begins to understand the complex male mind!!!!!

OK OK I am joking!!!!?

?

Ahhh men, bless the lot of you! ?

We men are NOT childish<stamps foot icon>

Perhaps I am just jealous because when I was young, all we had was dominoes, only 3 tv channels and most of the day they were on testcard !!!!!

Think that's the same excuse FIL uses lol

OMG thank god it's not just in my house. I have to say I often tell OH "I'll take it off you if you don't behave" and get hit with a torrent of "Well if that idiot was watching my back I wouldn't have gotten killed" IT'S JUST A GAME!!!!lol

It's an automatic response for us to laugh if they die during a game or get frustrated, as they do act like children. But if I'm playing something and can't do it, I just sulk, no screaming or shouting, I only sulk because OH says "Uch give me that its easy" - if it was easy I wouldn't be getting so frustrated!!! lol

As for the BBQ, OH ALWAYS arranges them, starts the BBQ up, then I get left to do the cooking, because if it was up to him or my Father, the food would be cremated. So just goes to show women ARE better cooks! lol

LxXx

Ha ha just come down stairs to here Oh shouting profanities at the PC as he just died on COD MW2!! ha ha
